2009 Robot Photos
Show Your Bot Off on TBA!

The Blue Alliance has set up an e-mail address for teams to submit photos of their 2009 robots. By building a complete set of robot photos, The Blue Alliance hopes to make pre-scouting for regionals much easier and more efficient for teams.

To submit a photo of your team or another team's 2009 robot, send an email to photos+2009@thebluealliance.net. Attach a horizontally oriented photo of your robot named ###.jpg where ### is your team's number. For instance, if you are team 5462, attach "5462.jpg", and if you are team 1, attached "1.jpg". Automated scripts handle downloading and processing the attachments, so it is important you stick to this convention!

Send a photo of your bot to photos+2009@thebluealliance.net and help scouts see just how great of a machine you've built!

Curious, anything preventing one from submitting photos of other teams' robots (gleaned through legitimate means, of course)?

Thanks Greg. Sorry to pester you about it. I do still have a problem, however. We have a very vertical robot, so I have to work on that horizontal thing. Actually I was just yowling at the kids for taking all these sideways pictures that I have to rotate...

Any limits on size of the pic?

As long as it fits in an e-mail, nope! I'm going to resize them before posting.

You can submit a vertical photo. It ought to work, but it may not wind up being resize to the same size as everyone else's. You can put a front and side view side by side to make two vertical photos more horizontal as well, or add team logos or such. Horizontal-ness isn't really a hard requirement, but it's easier for me to deal with.

On their team pages on TBA. For instance, check out team 111 or 177.

Ahh, I was hoping there would be a page or so to show all the robots. Instead of having to hunt the pictures down by robot.

Technically this gets the job done, but it's not really an officially supported page: http://thebluealliance.net/tbatv/gallery.php?year=2009

Got any pics of your bot hauling a trailer? That's what we used.
