Summer Musical Set Moving Robots
So who has been given an interesting project for robotics? Laser Robotics Team 2077 has been contacted by our schools drama club to design and build robots to move a 40' long, 8' tall, 6' deep stage piece for the musical Les Miserables. The set piece weighs an estimated 600lb un-decorated. So far we have built two 6' long kit bots out of wood, mounted C-Channel to mount motors and wheels, and have an amazing control board which has an IFI controller, four spikes, and six Victors mounted. One of our mentors built it this season to help us with testing. There are four CIM connected to Toughboxes mounted to drive, and they all respond to a single joystick. We tested and had one Toughbox actually drive the whole set. Does anyone else have any really awesome summer projects?

Would FIRST be as amazing if not for CD? I mean it would still be this amazing place for students and mentors to be but the explosion of innovation and gathering of people together across communities has to have been greatly effected by CD. - dodar [more]
