Robowranglers 2015: Batman & Robin

A very innovative design. Props to the 148 team.

Fantastic robot(s)! Way to think outside the box. I can't wait to see this thing in action!

[Rangel(kf7fdb)]

Amazing robots. I don't think my jaw dropped this much since I watched your team's unveil in 2010. One of the most innovative robot's I've seen in FRC. Can't wait to see the robots up close at Vegas!

Perhaps I'm simply not seeing it properly in the video, but I'm curious how those hooks are not supported by the recycling containers at the start of autonomous, and thus in violation of G7-B. See Q&A 238

Are there even enough totes?!

I think they are "supported" between the two "robots", if that makes any sense.

It *looks* like they have the hooks suspended on a string from the "winch bot" to the "main bot". The hooks look to be just above the containers and fall onto the tops when the "winch bot" tips over.

Do you want your blue banners shipped to you now or for dean Kamen to personally deliver them at your first competition.

I'm loving that you guys accomplished the tethering! Should have expected the Robowranglers to literally wrangle the containers.

How are you gonna plan strategies to ensure that you don't get tangled with alliance members and game pieces? I saw some videos of our local scrimmage, and it seems like the "half field" has hardly any room to keep the tethering from getting in the way with the other robots and game pieces scattered everywhere.

I'm really curious about any testing for tether durability or tangle avoidance. Do you make sure in your strategy that the other alliance bots stay out of the way, or is there some way that the tether cannot get entangled?

Congratulations on another successful build season!

You tell them if they press their E-Stop button they will win anyways.

Man if there is a robot that tackles this problem in a more efficient and creative way I don't think I can take it... I just can't too much awesome...

[2090_Dad]

Amazing.. Just.. OMG.. Wow.. Plain old amazing... Congratulations on another fantastic design and build!!

[Chris Endres]

gg life. Oh, and if you play the last video clip by clicking pause and play rapidly, it sounds like the packman theme song...just saying. But really, nice job 148.

While having a robot/strategy that can win without alliance partners is great and extremely impressive, telling your alliance partners to hit their e-stop buttons so as not to interfere with your robot is not going to build goodwill and, in my estimation, is not really in the spirit of the competition.

I'd think a simple "please don't drive over our wires" would suffice, really.

I'm really happy our team won't be anywhere near them game wise we will just chill over here and do our thing in the landfill...
