The Robonauts 118 - 2012 Video

[KrazyCarl92]

Wow! Can't wait to see this Robot in Connecticut! Unfortunately it looks like the bumpers as mounted on that robot are illegal based on the numbering, but I'm sure that won't be a big deal and is rather easy to fix. Maybe it's as easy as rearranging the ones you have on there since it looks like there are 6 pieces.

[Mark Sheridan]

that is one awesome robot. I think the pincher feeder is really cool. I was wondering about better ways to introduce balls to the shooter consistently. Does it help improve accuracy?

[AllenGregoryIV]

Robonauts never disappoint, I'll be inspecting at Alamo and I can't wait to see this in person.

The second ball camera is very cool, your drivers should have no problem on the other side of the field.

As for the bridge device we will see how the ruling comes down but it does seem to grapple to me. Either way a fantastic robot and you will find a way to have one the best end game mechanisms by the time championship comes around.

Lone Star is going to be great this year.

I love where you guys put the camera, and your ball intake is sooo fast!! Great video, great robot (since you said it's not complete yet, I wonder what else you have up your sleeves ) and I can't wait to see this at Lone Star.

It aint Reveal Period without a 118 video.
Best reveal video should be a FIRST reward.

[Peyton Yeung]

Wow, you guys never cease to amaze me with these videos.

[Billfred]

All legalities aside, videos like this are what keeps me working. Keep up the good work!

[Jared Russell]

Great robot, great video.

But I have difficulty coming up with a tenable rationale as to how that isn't grabbing, grasping, or (especially) grappling.

This robot is simply stunning. The attention to detail you guys have is just amazing.

As with many others, I'm skeptical as to whether or not your bridge hanger is legal. With the current Q&A answers on grappling, grasping and grabbing it seems that a reasonably astute observer would argue that your machine is grappling the bridge.

Great video, I love the tribute. Look forward to watching more videos of this robot in action!

[Taylor]

I was very impressed by the making of 3-pointers from the fender. I thought, "That's what the Robonauts are bringing this year."

Then came the ending.



Mind. Blown.



*poof*

1.) I'm a little disappointed you didn't have a Dukes of Hazard style jump over the bump this year. That 2010 video is still one of my favorites.

2.) I'm looking forward to seeing you here in CT for a regional this year.

Fantastic reveal video as usual 118! I'm glad someone is going for the bridge hang. We still have a design shelved, and allotted weight in our 30 lb allowance to bring it in, but wanted to see it successfully used in competition.

Kudos to the video editor(s), a very professional looking video. Someone had fun with a GoPro.

Good grief I've been sitting here for a while with my mouth open in awe...

Team 118 never ceases to amaze me with the elegant and "simple" designs that excel in what they're designed to do. That system looks almost exactly like the standard Rebound Rumble robot - ball comes in, goes up elevator, feeds into shooter, and is shot. However, and I'm still trying to figure this out, you always manage to add some hidden twist that makes it work PERFECT.

And that bridge manipulator...I'd love to see it working from a different angle because that seems like a lot of robot for a little grapple to be holding up...

Now there's something I'd love to see in the KOP.
