Team 330, Beach Bots 2012 Robot: Skyhook

[IKE]

The missing bumper section is clearly there to showcase that this bot has got some major UPs.

Wiki: "Sky hookThe hook shot became a trademark of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the National Basketball Association's all-time leading scorer, who was proficient at the shot at a much greater distance from the basket than most players. The greater distance and resulting higher arc on the shot led to the name sky hook, which was coined during Abdul-Jabbar's tenure with the Milwaukee Bucks and came from the team's radio announcer, Eddie Doucette, who felt that "that hook was so high that it was coming out of the sky".[1] Blocking the 7-foot, 2-inch center's sky hook was a rare feat, accomplished by few players.

Magic Johnson used a similar shooting technique during the 1987 NBA Finals, which he called his "baby hook" in reference to teammate Abdul-Jabbar.[2]"

I believe Kareem's number was 33, so a 330 Sky Hook seems very fitting.

The more I look at this robot, the more things I find a really like. I can't wait to see it in action.
