639's robot and name the car
http://www.startateam.com/639/pics/2002_639.jpg

This is actually the best picture we have of our robot, taken by me blindly out the back of a car rushing to make our shipping.

heres your little challenge, the reward is my respect:

1) Just try and guess what we do it's not really that hard, but funny to think about at first since you really cant see very much.

2) Name the car this was taken in, if anyone gets this I think i'll die laughing since you can see only the backwindow and part of a seat. Bonus points for the make/model of the cars behind us, the route number we were on, and how late we were running.


Just thought that my team needed a presence here, and with lack of a better picture decided to see if anyone reconized the car.

Oh if your stumped you can take a look at this picture for help:
http://www.startateam.com/639/pics/2002_dontdrop.jpg

If you feel like cheating you can take a look at our robot in various stages of construction at http://www.startateam.com/639
but that just takes the fun out of it.

This has been my first thread started!
Greg

The robot is a double goal grabber. The car you are in is a Chrysler Sebring convertible. The car behind you is an older Honda Accord and behind that is a Dodge Neon. You are about 10min late.

No its not a Chrysler
No the car behind us isn't a Honda Accord (wrong side of the world)

Judging from the way the Cylinders are pointing you have air brakes. that either puts your frame on the ground or some sticky stuff.
The car you are in a Chevy Nova?

Air brakes? Why would we want to stop when we dont have to?

And i still want to know how you knew what route that was,

Greg

Random guess
I have no idea about cars, but maybe the white car behind you is an old BMW. Just a guess though.
Have fun with your 'bot and good luck at the competitions!

Common now folks
Okay...white car changing lanes...definately an Audi...my guess is an A4, and while i'd like to think that a robot would not fit into the backseat of a camaro, i have no choice to believe that it is...judging solely by the front seats, the rear break light on the hatch, and the hatch itself..my guess would be mid 80's camaro...z28...and the car behind...probably a mid-late 80's nissan

I'm on the same team as you Greg and these guys have already figured out more about that pic than I could explain.

I'm impressed.

The car behind you is definitely an older ('82? '83?) BMW
