wouldn it also tip over with the weight of those balls going at it? that would be cool to watch...

Re: How roboust is your teams robot going to be?
well im not going to give away any magical secrets but the robot that i went to is building will be robust like every yr and im hoping they can make it their 4th. yr with no mechanical failures.


Hey 522 you know what time it is rite its nearing robo time!

I had to put that in they'll probably beat me up later today when they read the forums lol.

Re: How roboust is your teams robot going to be?
We built our own trans so we won't have to deal with those infernal drill transmissions. We are also implementing "The Waddler", which will uber-increase our manuverability.

Re: How roboust is your teams robot going to be?
Our robot is being built using methods fairly new to our team, but it will me just the more robust. We will be sturdy, yet light enough to have more function than ever before.

For those of you out there who recall our game play in previous years (namely last ), stay tuned! You have just witnessed the beginning!!
