TEAM 1183 ALMOST DONE ( more pics ) ( that work )

[Stormhammer]

well guys - we're almost there! 5-6 man build team, a drill and a sawzall, and some free welding done by my boss, and $700 - I think we've done surprisingly well with such an underpowered team this year

here's our "workshop"


and tadaa!!! ( yes, its that big, we might cut it down some )


a side pic - with the arm somewhat laid together ( to give an idea ) it'll reach up to about 12ft ( at least thats planned ) - the short piece is... well just to show it - each length will be 4ft long, and giving some overlap - but add the ride height and yea...


and yea - it rides 4in high in the front, 3 in high in the back... looks like we could literally run over some other bots that have been shown

not bad for getting all the stuff from Lowes, salvaging parts from last years 'bot, and sacking our tech ed room and physic teacher's garage for tools

and oh yea - this year - no machine shop - which also meant no mentor

and mad props go out to the girls who are designing and doing our webpage
