MakeShift 4039 Robot Reveal 2015 - ROY G BIV

[Matt Ciprietti]

Team 4039, MakeShift Robotics, is proud to present our 2015 Recycle Rush robot, ROY G BIV - a three-part, tethered, tote-centric stacker!

ROY:

• mobile platform housing the battery and electronics
• transports stacks from human loading station to scoring platform
• forks out front have passive hinged plates for lifting bins and up to six-high tote stacks
• potentiometer allows touch-of-a-button pre-programmed vertical positions
• co-op capable

G:

• manages the critical transition of the first tote from the CHUTE DOOR to stacking

BIV:

• ROY without wheels (which makes for common spare parts)
• allows the human player to constantly load totes, even when ROY is not present

See you at Waterloo and Finger Lakes!

Absolutely amazing. Robot to release video to the team in general, it's hard not to appreciate whatever MakeShift puts out. Big props to everyone on the team and it's a shame you wont be competing in NYC after all the fun we had last year! Good luck, 334 will surely be rooting for you all.

Awesome bot, awesome music, and an awesome reveal video! The container set at the end had me laughing out loud.

4039 continues to be one of my favorite teams in FIRST

Awesome job! Love the design!

This is going to sound totally weird but I have a crush on 4039. I've never had a crush on any human before except Anna Kendrick, but I have a crush on 4039. This is so cool. *fangirls*

Thanks for burning that song into my head!

Hilarious song, potentially great robot combination. Too bad I won't see it in person this year until Champs.

Do I see an Einstein paring with 148?

Haha perfect finish

I've seen a lot of reveal videos in my time (haven't we all...), but this is easily in my top 5 of favourites.

I was really impressed by the entirety of your team after getting to work with you in St. Louis last year. 4039 is the real deal and I'm glad to see you put out another competitive machine. I especially love how you incorporated your team branding into the robot's design and name. Best of luck to you this season!

Count me in as a member of the 4039 fan club. We've worked closely with these guys over the years and they never fail to impress me. I love the robot, the video, and the team branding.

1) is there a real club
2) can I be president
3) does this mean I get a shirt
