Re: pic: The Bobcats 2001 & 2003 & Admirers

First of all, John, I hope you know I meant my post all in good fun for the comments you made in the redemption thread. Bob-kittens ;D I seriously like your arm and am actually glad that someone keeps the legacy of extruded aluminum arms alive so well. The bobcats felt that this year extending, extruded arms weren't the way to go, so it cool too see someone else think it was. Every idea is a good idea... except forgetting to leave some Mt. Dew for me when I need to stay at a meeting, wiring till early into the morning.

Secondly, I'm well aware that arms aren't a "Bobcat" thing. I just felt that Clarkson obviously had some 'Bobcat arm design' in there, seeing as you know, you stole our alumni! Jeez, stealing EO and Joel... Call it pride, but its just a deep found love for that arm. 2001 was a great year. Most people are probably traumatized by their freshman year, but I loved it because of that arm and how well we did.

Thirdly, I look forward to seeing every arm design. Even our own... seeing as we have not even had a chance to try it out ourselves really. I suppose we'll have to find out who can win an arm wrestling match on the bar in competition.

Fourthly, you must be thinking of a different robot Jon K. We used aluminum knurled rollers. As someone said... Wood is evil. I never knew how R.A.G.E could stand the wood frame, but I give them lots of credit for making it win. Also, no fancy green tubing on our robot. The only color tubing i'd allow on our robot without crying foul are Gold, Maroon, and black. =D

Fifth, good luck to all the robots this season. Whether armed or unarmed, inspired by previous design, inspired by experience or inspired by a moment of clarity in constant insanity, that can only be labeled as an epiphany.

P.S. to Clarkson - I'll try to get word to our folks who are going up to NH to bring you a container of mothers polish. No arm is complete without it ;D I know what the bobcats will be doing practice day.
