We had plans for that, the whole thing will be upgraded when we have more time. He needs eyebrows badly, and a front right wheel that taps when he gets impatient.

Brilliant!

Your team should start a kickstarter and sell mini dozers.

But mini Dozers would take the fun out of it. Part of the joy of this is that it weighs 200 lbs., can do a nice burnout, travels at speeds that are decent for outdoors (but terrifying indoors), and has a steel frame that we have witnessed destroying our 2x4 low goal without thinking twice about it. The blade is non-functional, but the name Dozer is very well suited.

Honestly, if anyone has leftover kitbot parts from 2011-12 they can build the same thing. The only things that didn't come from the kit of parts was the frame, the non-marring wheels, the battery, some wiring, and a relay block we use for testing. The steel was donated, so I figure we have about $150-$175 into this project and everything else was recycled.

Although...a mini Dozer would probably be fun too...I just can't handle another project right now.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.

Re: pic: Dozer
our team has been toying with the idea of building li'l dozer for a while, but the kids want to use him as the robot cart. He'll pass that inspection!
