The Robonauts 118 - 2013 Video

[Jonathan Norris]

WOW... What?? How did they do that?? How does that even all fit??

Simply incredible.

Edit: Ohh and GREAT Song choice.

[Botwoon]

Wow. I thought I'd see some pretty OP robots this year, but this is just mind blowing.

[TheMadCADer]

I liked the game piece hand-off from Magic last year, I'm glad you guys did it again this year with Endeavour.

Also, the new robot's a really nice piece of work. As always with a 118 machine, it doesn't really fit in the 'categories' we have for all the other robots out there, and has some crazy mechanism nobody else has.

Awesome robot, but everyone on here appears to have turned into surrender monkeys...

See you guys at SVR. Should be one of (if not the best) events of the year.

There are some teams that impress me because I see their robot every year and I think "wow, why didn't I think of that?"

...Then there's the Robonauts. Every year I think "jeez you could give me 20 years and I still would have never thought of that."

Great looking robot! Good luck!

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

[pmangels17]

We always have a "Why didn't we think of that?" moment. And this is it for me. Also, those LED's are "dope" (Will.I.Am) and Macklemore just tops it off for me. Good luck this year, I am stunned.

[NotaJoke]

Absolutely stunning. A robot that fulfills every objective with grace and style, and that can fill any role on any alliance. Excellent design, and execution. I'm at a loss for words.

Not all of us have given up!

Luck and skill permitting, we'll all meet on Einstein!

I suppose this means you and 148 plan on bringing that SVR banner to Texas?

Won't be an easy task. Quite a few elite teams ready to battle for it.

Awesome robot though, love the climbing mechanism.

[Kevin Sevcik]

That's definitely an awesome bot. Minibotting up the corner and doing the clamp airlock maneuver around the knuckle came up in our brainstorming, but we nixed it as too complicated to pull off. Clearly that's not the case for everyone.

So I'm seeing stock in tall-ish nimble defenders going up at LSR this year...

Will you be releasing any more in-depth information on your beautiful machine this year? I'm sure we can all learn something from 118.

[Jash_J]

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

[Kusha]

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

[Blackphantom91]

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