Very nice What regionals will you be at?

Nice collection of awards you got there - I'm impressed Hopefully, one day, our team will have just as many.

Oh comeon you weenies. Not even a chuckle about our PIMPED OUT TO THE MAX ride?

Dosent that contradict your earlier statement that it was as heavy as anything? So save your back on the tools to carry around a few hundred pound cart .

Has everyone lost their insanity and sense of humor in the stressfull times of... OH CRAP ITS NIGHT BEFORE COMPETITION! I better get packing!

I KNOW there are a few of us that have no use for that blasted camera (at least not in the current rush of Regionals and what not).

Make a cart that uses the camera to track your team jersey and follows you! That would be amazing. That goes under my list of "Things to do when I actually have time" Haha. One of these days...

We actually do not have a Hummer body. It has been talked about developing a Hummer body, but at this time we do not have one. We do however have 5 of the truck bodies. I am unaware of all of the different colors because they do change from time to time. We started with 6 bodies in 1999; however after that season each of the team members signed one and gave it to our executive sponsor, Tom Stephens.

That cart was actually 1305's. Great team!! We won the Waterloo Regional with them this year and were alliance partners in Atlanta.

On their cart last year what kind of battery did they use, and how'd they keep it from going dead so fast, since they had all the stuff on it? Also i was wondering if they were worried at all about leaving all the stuff in their cart throughout the night at regionals and nationals. Or did they take it with them for safe keeping?

I have actually uploaded a photo of our cart this year at the Boilermaker Regional which can be found at:

We did change bodies before Atlanta; going back to my favorite one, red.

The cart has 4 batteries, each 6 volts, wired in series. These are kept under the bed portion of the truck. We charge it every night and usually between when we use it during the day (depending). The batteries are great and they are actually good for a long period of time.

I really don't understand the last portion of your question, since we don't really have much on the cart at any one time. I can tell you that we have never had any problems with people messing with the cart; something great about the FIRST community.


I will keep looking for some more pictures of the cart from '99 and '00. Those two years there were some interesting paint jobs done to the cart.

I'll have to post photos of our cart before GLR or get some at GLR. We had it CAD'ed on Wednesday, ordered the materials (everything will be cut and machined) and we should have it by Monday afternoon. We're building it Monday night and then adding the cool features to it on Tuesday. It's gonna be pretty much self contained...just return to our pits and plug it in so we can charge our batteries and run some other top secret equipment
