that looks really nice, im impressed, but i would be even more impressed if i knew how long it takes to reach the stacking height, and how efficient is it, can you drive with your arm up, w/o worrying about tipping over, or will you have to raise, then put, then come back down just to move again, but really wow, im amazed, but if you could tell the time that would be great too

great job

WOW! I count 16 red tetras capped...and there's a gap between the goal and the blue tetra...AND that looks like the centre goal Looks great.

It's not the center goal, there is a driver station right behind it.

*sigh* we don't even HAVE that many tetras.

i wanna see a full pic!!!!!!

[M. Hicken]

Daaaaaammmmnnn!!! Thats massive. For saftey reasons, i hope the stacks at the competitions are not that tall. Now that i see that, im curious how the field crew is going to take the tetras off, i dont think they are banking on that tall a stack too often

Ladders.

geeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzz! Thats a LOT of Tetras!
Great job as usual. One question, though. How many tetras can WildStang stack at one time?

[Specialized]

I count 17.. with the 18th being the blue the robot has in hand... insane guys.. it looks very impressive. One question- is your drivetrain as awesome as your arm length?

[santosh]

That has to be the craziest thing I have ever seen. Amazing job.

[Kyle]

That is just amazing, I cant wait to see 111 at Nat's again this year, hopefully on the same alliance though.

the following is not being said,typed whatever, in an angry way at all
There have been some comments so far questing how and why they would make there arm so long, Since they have not released the rest of the bot or how it works those comments are mostly uncalled for, maybe wildstang can stack all of those tetras in one match, who knows? so just wait and see what else they have to show before people try to bring down a really great achievement.
And I am not talking about constructive criticism
just my 2 cents.

I want to see if you have made any changes to your infamous crab-drive and stang-ps.

To everyone who thinks it is too high and that they would not be able to stack that many in 2 minutes: There are six robots on the field at a time and they are all (hopefully) going to be stacking tetras. If all of them start stacking on the middle goal, it will easily get that high in a 2 minute match. The question is not what one robot can stack in the match, it is how high will the stack from six robots get?

Why would you want to stack them that high, what about going after the other 8 goals and forming a row for 10 points? What about going into the end zone and scoring another 10 points? There is no reason to stack 18 high, sure, it'll look cool in the photos, but I'll be much more impressed with a both that can stack 10 all over the field fast and very reliably.

*jaw drops.

no ******* way. Now that is an engineering marvel.

[KTorak]

My guess is that it reaches...roughly 15 feet high, but, i doubt it is driveable at that hieght, one slight bump and it'll be blocking the whole field when it falls over.
