If you were worried, you could replace the pointy bit with clear polycarbonate. Robot looks awesome-- great job!

Re: Team 166 2012 Robot

Were back from reveal and we finally got some video of our shooter operating in a room with a high ceiling: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxjSHXYgjiQ

But, In this video the shooter is limited to 6 volts by software, the only thing I know is that it is spinning at or below 4000 rpm.

Re: Team 166 2012 Robot

I like the robot, well done. However, doesn't the two part mechanism for putting down the bridge violate the single appendage rule? I might not be seeing it, but it doesn't appear to be one contiguous appendage outside the frame. If this indeed is the case, a quick fix might be just to tie a cable/string from one side to the other so that they are "contiguous".

We have a piece of threaded rod connecting the two sides when it is outside the frame perimeter.

It is just waiting on software and a minor modification to the bridge manipulator.

Re: Team 166 2012 Robot

Thanks again for the great time in Vegas last year. Vegas was amazing! (We even got to stay longer because our flight was cancelled!)
Good luck this year!!
