mmmmm sexy...


Did 148 help out with the sheet metal work?

That sound you just heard was me.

My first thought was: "AAugh!"
My second was: "Looks like 2006 with a different hopper and a redesigned shooter."
My third was: "Oh, NO!!"

[Renee Becker-Blau]

Can't wait to see it in Midwest...

My goodness, I knew there was a reason to stay up past midnight besides work.

I especially loved the moment at 1:34, why do I have the feeling I will see that move executed time in, time out, over and over, and why do I also have the feeling that it's already been done time in, time out. Haha!

Looks amazing as always Karthik, Can't wait to see it in action in person.

SEAN DA PAUL!!!!

[Tom Bottiglieri]

The bumper mount looks illegal.

Just sayin.

[Ice Berg]

Is that an extra lens on the camera?

Everything looks amazing! This is the first turreting shooter that seems to consistently make shots. Great job!

[Jetweb]

Finally!!! a video of a shooter that works! That thing looks devastating, well done.

Mind telling us what type of lens that is on the camera? Im guessing its a wide angle.

I'm fairly certain this is what half of FIRST thought they were building this season. I guess we'll see how many others can live up to this one. To see this robot in action is mind-blowing. Another elegant Simbot design proves to everyone how it should be done. I'm loving the fact that this thing will be in the hands of one of FIRST's best drivers. Game on.

You can always tell the really quality robots, because they're the ones that makes you depressed.

I love you guys. Good luck in Chicago.

lmfao, this is what I was talking to you about John. haha, but its awe inspiring as well. =)

[jblay]

i was wondering how effective you guys are when you are moving or your target is moving or both

[Herodotus]

Epic Win.

Seriously, 1114 never fails to impress. I absolutely cannot wait to see this baby in action, either in Atlanta or at IRI.

[Jonathan Norris]

Another amazing robot by the Simbots, you guys continue to impresses me year after year. You manage every year to assemble a talented group of mentors, who inspire smart passionate students to not only create a robot that impresses us all, but a professional TEAM that blows me away.

That's going to be one tough bot to beat with the best Drive Team in FIRST... but that certainly doesn't mean we're not going to try

[s_forbes]

I knew it! Pause the Robowranglers video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCVLZFyEI1Y) at 0:39, and you can see a picture of the Simbotics bot hanging on the whiteboard! Huzzah!

Fantastic robot, a wonderful demonstration (yet again) of the optimum FIRST robot for the given game. The video also demonstrated why I think turreted shooters will do well this year... note how they can pin a robot and score into it's trailer. Actually, they just need to be near another robot to score in it's trailer, but you get the idea.

What's powering the shooter? That's an insane fire rate!

[Akash Rastogi]

Iz it can be 1114 win tiem nao plz?

Another bamf robot name btw. Great job Karthik and all. Did 2056 also turn out a beast like this?
