First off, I was not aiming any critism towards you, M Krass. I was being sarcastic towards the creator of this topic. I find it rude to thank teams who have posted pictures and to accuse other teams of 'hiding' their robot.

Okay

I was going to say... (I did, actually, to Ian...) "This...coming from a team who's teaser was a rock."

I've hesitated to post an image of our entire robot precisely because it is an ambitious design and is something my team, nor I, have ever attempted before. In fact, to my knowledge, nobody has done anything that emulates the challenges we are facing in making this strategy work correctly. As that is the case, I have yet to decide if I want want the entire community to see our potential failures, or if I would rather wait and share with them our success (and sweep failure under the carpet)

That's what our mentor is expressing.

Heh, I posted that up to basically point out how useless the majority of these 'teasers' have been.

Aside from vauge allusions, our robot will be kept secret, except to our sister team, until the very end of the build time. Then we will release some vauge photos, but the rest will have to wait till our first regional.

Good luck all

Those who visit our shop see what the scoop is .

Those who visit our shop can't find our the scoop.

Just a hint (could our robot be invisible? Mabey.....)

you have no idea how happy i would be if our robot was far enough along that I was able to post a teaser about it!

[Fiziks]

if our motors are fast and strong enough in the configuration we have them in, our robot should be able to do the "liquid" form of breakdancing. And i mean BREAK-dancing, if a normal human tried this out, their arms or legs would be dislocated in four places. We're also thinking about a cool light holder thingy. Vaporware at thsi point.

Strategy Tactic #14

Stay in the shadows. If knowledge is power: the more secret you are, the more successful you will be. If you remain completely unknown you will be completely invincible.

That's right. Remember folks, if you don't attend competition, you can NEVER be beaten!

It's a NO LOSE tactic!!!

You know, i have to ask out of the spirit of FIRST, why do people hide some of their robot? It's too late in the build for somebody to completely copy you and part of FIRST is to share science and technology with everybody.

Thoughts on this people.............

My compliments to all of you teams who are showing off what they have so far, good work.

All the posts sound possible....another possibility is that there are teams that design stuff that plain out and out fails to function....and they end up cobbling together backup stratigies....or just hacking off subsystems. (for weight sometimes too)

What embarresment there would be if there were pictures of a robot with "extra" subsystems that never made it to the prom.

Oh well....
