The Redeemer is born!
This year, we decided early that we needed a second 'Bot to develope and test programing as well as drive practice. So as we started building the arm, we made 2 complete sets of everything for the turret and arm. Instead of building a new chasis, we just recreated last year's chasis. Extrusion is a wondrful prototypeing tool!! We called the rebuilt version "The Redeemer", because in It looks 100 % better than it did a week ago! Heck, aside from using the old Boch motors and the 883 Victors, she would be legal this year!! Now we have a useful tool to evaluate changes to the program and legal spare parts for the arm and turret. We always dreamed of having a second machine to sort out "issues" as they surfaced, instead of frantically trying to cobble something together in the pits that we overlooked.
