Scary Bots

[Christopher149]

Scary: playing against 107 for three consecutive matches. There was no stopping them at Escanaba.

217 at Centerline had a shooter that shook the entire field when they shot.

230's "hammer bot" is a tad intimidating, to say the least. Their 2 ball autonomous is phenomenal. Props to them for winning the Groton District Event. I'm curious to see how they preform at the Southington District Event this coming weekend.

Here is one Scary Robot that I saw:

So cool, and yet so terrifying!


To be serious, I want to see some very scary bots, so thanks if you post a picture or video of one.
PLEASE GIVE CREDIT TO THE TEAM WHO FIRST TOOK THE PHOTO!!! PLEASE!!!

Note: By scary I mean so awesome that it is scary, not the kind that gives one nightmares.

Credit for photo goes to Team 3937. Photo first posted by Breakaway3937.

On Team 16 we thought this robot was scary good as well...

What? Our robot? Nah Howie is pretty cuddly!
Disclamer: Howie is short for Howitzer.
Disclamer 2: Howie shoots with almost 300 pounds of force, and has a 100T sprocket, so it is not very cuddly.

This is how you know when someone is in FRC, when they talk about cuddling with a 120 lbs robot that can fling a ball with 300 lbs of force!

In this thread, scary == awesome!

On the practice field at Orlando, we had a few teams say that our robot sounds like a tank or a mortar firing. And we kick with 400+ lb spring force

Team 195, The CyberKnights, will be competing this weekend at the Southington District event.

Check out how it's targeting lights illuminate before the shot. Notice how it spins the ball in its grasp as it carries it.

Great driving to elude defense.

This was the only match that they lost all weekend, until the QuarterFinals.
An aberration that should be corrected this weekend.

A unique design that can shoot on the fly. A necessity to make shots in a game that defense is changing.

I agree: if there's one scary robot I've seen in New England, it's 195.
Such speed and power.

Also, I think you have the wrong match where 195 lost-- that was match 15.

We were watcing New York Tech Valley and whenever we saw you guys do a shot we all threw our arms up and screamed. Like, there was an instance where you guys almost scored a goal from the loading zone and it was great.

Can confirm: Have spent many late nights shooting Howie. He is very cuddley when mech leaves so software can work

Scariest Robot? Sidewinder from 624. That is a scary good robot.
