The Robonauts 118 - 2013 Video

[StAxis]

I have never experienced such awe and wonder while watching a robot in my life, this is a piece of art 118. Congrats on once again raising the bar into space, incredible machine.

Motherf.......

Eyup. We give up.

Once again, the Robonauts have set the bar very VERY high. Really excited to have you at SVR, see you in week 6!

Very cool stuff guys. Didn't disappoint. Can't wait to see the bot in San Jose.

Where can we sign up for your pick list?

Well, you guys have reserved a spot on Einstein.

I always look forward to you guys reveal videos, never cease to amaze. Awesome work of art and amazing design of components. Take it easy on us at Bayou will ya??

Question: What's the max number of frisbees your hopper can hold? It looks like you can hold a lot more than 4. Just curious.

Once again, great work by you guys and I can't wait to see this in person at LSR and Bayou!!

This(large frisbee capacity) + very fast reliable floor harvest + rapid fire + 118's history (i.e. why not shoot and score while in a triple balance?)

My guess for sometime this season but likely during their very first regional: Their "auto goal" points from one match will be greater than the average regional total for the majority of FRC teams.

From that video I see no reason why they couldn't score at least 60 "auto goal" points in a given match.

Holy crap guys! I thought we had an awesome robot, but this is a little over the top

I'm speechless. Its actually the most beautiful and efficient robot I have seen since 469 in 2010. Just wow.

This means I won't be sleeping tonight because I'll be up rewatching this video over and over again.

I think you got a nice robot there. Can't wait to see it in competition! Great work this season.

So many thoughts... Where do I even begin?

First, beautiful machine. Definitely a Robonaut robot. Sleek, stylish, a little boxy, but we're all open minded, so blocks are welcome.

Secondly, SWEET HOLY MOTHER OF KAMEN. What a robot. This monster of a machine is going to be running the field in almost every match. My first inclination is to say it is perfect. Though I know nothing is perfect, I think 118 may be a top contender for being closest. It's accurate from the pyramid or the loading zone, and has a climb that's really scary, to be honest.

Third, I'm jealous. You guys have the same climbing design that we had (and rapidly pursued until last week), but couldn't figure out how to make it really work. Kudos to you guys.

And finally. Wow. Just wow. You guys rock. You guys inspire me to compete at a higher level more than any other team. I've never felt so inadequate about my own robot. 118 is amazing.

Beautiful job. Not sure what's gotten into everyone here, but you've succeeded in inspiring me to make our robot even better. I look forward to Lone Star and SVR!

All I can say is wow. Thank god we don't live in Texas...
