Marines build Stronghold Robot
They are a little late, but the Marines are weighing with what would have won Einstein hands down.

Seriously though, with the exception of the gun it looks like it would play the game pretty well.

Re: Marines build Stronghold Robot
I don't know how the robot would fare with weight rules.
But in all reality that's awesome and helps me realize the good that can come out of engineering we learn through frc.

Re: Marines build Stronghold Robot
Geared for just a bit over 10fps though... seems a little slow.

Re: Marines build Stronghold Robot
I must have missed the part in the video where it can shoot foam balls with high precision into a tower.

They must have misread the rules... I think they say "defeat the tower" and stopped reading. Of course when they get done with a match the field will look a lot like week 1.

Looks to me like someone's been playing a bit of XCOM.

Re: Marines build Stronghold Robot
How wrong is it that I keep looking at all of these and just start thinking "We have the technology. We have the capability to make..."

Come on First... let next years game be BattleBots... what could go wrong?

I agree...cool robot, and definitely has interesting applications, but a FRC Stronghold robot this is not.
