Probably cause the angle of the picture makes it look taller.

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.

wow way to go wild stag!!!!! but the thing is how long did that take you to get that high .... i bet its not 2 min. see you at regionals!!!!

[Ryan Dognaux]

That's impressive, I'd like to see some video of it in action.

[Gary Dillard]

OK James, you were right - we do need the deployable wedge again this year

[UsmanB]

at the bottom of the picture i bet there are 3 or 4 kids holding that arm up, not a robot. ha.

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.

Wow how high is that? a good 15 feet perhaps??
You guys are crazy...

[Collmandoman]

does the goal bend inwards with 130+ pounds on it? if so.. you can get more height.. hah -- that's why they are going that high

[The Cyborg]

Awww.... Where's your signature Tie-Dye?

That is one amazing trick you guys can do! Awesome! How do you keep your robot from tipping though?
I like your design! Its better to be different from the average 'bot, that's what makes an idea like that a winner .... And you are probably going to the same regionals as us, aren't you? I gotta see your robot in action!

[abeD]

From the looks of that gripper i wouldn't be surprised if the get 2 or 3 in there somehow and then plop them down on a goal.

[mizscience]

OMG!!! How high is the reach on that arm?!? Very good job by the way, though idk if anybody would need an arm that long in competition....

[Salik Syed]

now that i'm a bit more confident in our robots abilities ... i am sad you guys aren't coming to UCD ... ! it would be cool to have some more elite teams like the cheesypoofs etc... to see some more competition
