Rather just than posting a picture, we thought we could do a whole video to kind of demonstrate what this year's robot will be able to do. The robot in the video is our LogoMotion robot we call, 'Wave.' The programming team has modified it with new stuff to help see what we can and can't use on the robot for the 2012 competition. It uses gyroscopic and sonar technology to utilize its holonomic mech wheels to their full potential. You'll know what I mean -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-v5qmXsyFFw

Though the video is posted on my personal YouTube account, our main YouTube channel is at http://www.youtube.com/Team871ROBOTECHS

Please post comments!
Positive or negative!

Thanks!

Because this is a legitimate user, not a spammer. However, at least two respected users have told him that that sort of posting is frowned upon. I don't think it'll happen again.

Why the free-wheels? More spin?

And what happened to Danvillians? I loved that name

Well I'm not actually making the shooter, but we did want a bit of spin on the ball. Also, I liked 'Danvillans' too, but I had no say in the change to Red Ties. It just sounds kind of silly lol.
