Wow. Definitely looking forward to getting a closer look at this at Kansas City.

[Jared Russell]

Very nice, Robnots.

What are the micro-omni wheels for?

[Electronica1]

Are the micro omni wheels powered like a butterfly drive or are you using them as drop down casters?

Also, I assume this is what a transformer that transforms into a pinball machine would look like.

Not sure if it's a robot or artpiece.

Who says it can't be both? Functional art?

[Jibsy]

So when is 118 going to join us at the Waterloo regional?

[protoserge]

Awesome work. I like the new Voyager-like design!

On the mobile format issue, we had something like that occur on our Gangnam Style video. I believe it was how it was encoded - Mac users pay attention to the encoder that is used for the exported file.

This is a convo for another thread, but I think you would feel differently if you were the one making the music.

I believe they are for drifting/J turn when driving. Lower omnis down right before the turn and Drift/J turn to reverse direction. West Coast with the ability of omnis for turning and reversing direction of the robot. Check out the video starting at :30 seconds and watch the action of the robot right before the wall.

Love the position locking mechanism for the arm rotation, that there is pretty clever. Lots of other beautiful little details in the mechanisms, I'm always amazed with how your design team is able to agree on and implement so many aesthetics into your parts. Can't wait to check it out at champs!
