wow. Is that your 1992 robot?

I bet that is the oldest robot in FIRST... Is it still functional?

Didn't they have "loaner brains" back then? If it is still functional, did you just hook up a vex controller or something?

It is indeed funtional, and this is before the time of loaner control systems. 1992 was the time of tethered robots. There were four multi-pin cables suspended 20 feet above the playing field and hung such that the machines would not become tangled. The operators just had toggle switches to control the machine, as all this did was turn power on or off to the motors.

As already mentioned NYPRO/Clinton (now team 126) also has a functional machine and competed against the 1992 WPI machine (they weren't called robots back then) at BattleCry@WPI 5. We had to rig up the power supply and control boxes for the event; without this the machines are not functional without significant retro-fitting. You can watch video footage of one of the rematches here: mms://media.atc.wpi.edu/News/Events/...Cry/04/mc1.wmv. This is a 12' x 12' field, but the real field was 16' x 16' with 4 teams.

Yes, that is their 1992 robot. And I believe it is still functional. I'll let a member of team 190 explain the history of that robot in detail.

Gael Force (126) still has their 1992 robot functional as well. I don't know about any other teams.

I love how back in the day, the KOP used to include a dot-matrix printer. Plenty of cool stuff you can dig out of those things.
