There are no twins of this robot besides our practice bot.

JVN blogged about 148's entire build season. you can read it here: http://blog.iamjvn.com/

Was there any collaboration between 217 and 148 this year?

148 did not collaborate with any teams, if there are any similarities between us and any other teams that share our sponsor it is because we are all friends and share manufacturing capabilities, but there was no direct design sharing this year.

nice looking, though I wouldnt expect anythin gless .. hope to see you guys in St. Louis.

One of my favorite videos this time of year is always the final display from 148. yet again i am not disappointed. you guys amaze me in what you are capable of. One thing id like to know is how you train your students to make such amazing robots. The design alone must take many many hours of CADing. as a sophomore meche with a considerable amount of design experience i know I'd have quite a challenge making something like your robots.

Eh, it is ok, I think it will get better as the season progresses.


Seriously though, nice video can't wait to see how this thing works by the time Championship comes around.

Great job again RoboWranglers. We look forward to seeing you in San Antonio.(Team 1296).

I noticed there is a 217 sign in the background of the shop.

Hmmmmm.

[ahollenbach]

It's beautiful! Everything is so fluid and an excellent design!

And there was a Simbotics sweatshirt on one of the students in a picture...

Sick bot as always! hope to see you at St. Louis!

[ouellet348]

nice bot, I'll be curious to see what 217 and 1114 look like this year though, either way this is a very well engineered bot

Not claiming I have a good eye, but really impressive. I love how you guys keep outdoing yourselves.

Can't wait to see it in San Antonio.

Echoing the sentiments of many before me, I congratulate 148 on an awesomely impressive robot. Your designs are inspiring and your videos extremely cool.
