Red face Team PyroTech 3459|Robot Demo [Video]

We did a demonstration at our local JCPenney this Saturday, and this is what our robot looked like:

http://www.teampyrotech.org/?p=812

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtoJmj_4ZqM

Specs:
  • Plaction wheels
  • Parallel arm (can reach top peg)
  • 6-wheel drive
  • Shifting gear on drive (not installed in the video)

We are a rookie team, so any comments would be appreciated!

Well, actually, it can't reach the bottom peg just yet, but we are working on that.

WOW!!! I am very impressed!

Just having an apparently *finished* robot on the Saturday before ship day, complete with sponsor logos, decorations, and scoring on the highest pegs is a great accomplishment for any team! (On Saturday we went to the Week Zero scrimmage event in Nashua, NH, and most of the robots there didn't look as good!)

However, to have that robot at a public demonstration at the mall during the build season is equally amazing!

Combine the above with the fact that 3459 is a rookie team, and I'm downright stunned!

Well done! Looks like you've got a great shot of going to St. Louis!

--ken

PS: Your team website is equally impressive -- great job on the daily video updates!

Re: Team PyroTech 3459|Robot Demo [Video]

Like others have said: amazing you were done so fast!

I'd like to add that your robot looks very good. You made some brave design choices that you seem to have dealt with very well.

It's awesome to see a rookie team going out there into the community to spread FIRST awareness. *and then his heart grew 3 sizes that day*

Thanks! It was really a wonderful win-win-win. We got to get some practice driving, our sponsors got to see where their resources went (not that they hadn't seen the robot before, they just hadn't seen it running), and we got to do some community outreach.

We were also able to do something similar two days later at the LORD Corporation.
