It's a great machine, I loved the intro! Love the four bar even more, especially combining the rotation of the claw into the four bar.

I hope it does better than the last two robots named raptor (973 in 09, and 254 in 07), both fell in the semis at champs.

Looking good 148.

And remember, don't let them haters hate.

John and 148 Members,

This is a beautiful machine and excellent intro video as always. We hope to see you in champs and good luck this season! I absolutely love the physical stop you placed on the arm to articulate the tubes into the right position.

Absolutely Awesome!

JVN and crew:

You are more than engineers, you are artists!

(or maybe that should read - you are more than artists, you are engineers!)

Dear team 148,

You are giving me nightmares. I admire your capabilities and your teamwork. Thank you for sharing the video with us and I sure hope I get the chance to see this robot in person. You all are an inspiration to the young generation.

Great video, awesome robot.

I hope that I have a chance to see it in person in St. Louis

[flippy147852]

Wow... once again 148 has produced a stellar bot.

Can't wait to (hopefully) see it in person in St. Louis!

[Leav]

What can I add beyond what has already been said? I am quite simply floored.

If you are making a pamphlet which explains your robot mechanically (I'm thinking of this one from simbotics in 08), I'd love to see it.

I'm constantly sharing great designs with my team and, well, let's say your design "qualifies"...

Yet another reason for us to strive for st. louis...

[Chris Fultz]

Very cool.

Great work 148.

Can you imagine what they can do if a "feeder robot" was on their alliance?

They probably don't even need a feeder robot if there is a human player chucking tubes over at them to hang.

Wow. I love robots like this where everything is planned out and fits together perfectly. I'd love to work on a robot like yours.

I'm interested in how you guys operate during the build season. How long does your team take to design before you begin to build the robot, when do the programmers get their hands on it, how much time do you leave for drivers to practice?

[Bjenks548]

Glad this beast in down in Texas. Unfortunately I'm going to have to deal with its Green twin probably. Any specs on the Mini bot speed? Looks to be magnetic. Robot looks awesome, hope you aren't on the blue alliance too much.
