The Robonauts 118 - 2012 Video

In my opinion, the hardest part of the competition is not that actual manufacture of the robot, but the design process. It is the enginners that go through the design process all the time that will have the edge in this competition, not the best machinist. - Wetzel [more]

Re: The Robonauts 118 - 2012 Video

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...
