"Bumbles Bounce" Yukon Cornelius

Am I the only one who sees multiple Tetra grippers on that bad dad?

I am thinking that they can hold at least 2 and I would not be surprised to discover that Wildstang V10.0 actually holds and or stores 4, 5, 6 maybe even 10 Tetras.

Really.

I can see that crab drive of theirs going from loading station to loading station, piling up the tetras on their machine only to drive over and make like The Bumble with that stack of tetras, only it won't be Stars on Christmas Trees they'll be scoring but points on the board ;-)

Just some guesses into the mind of WildStang...

Re: pic: Wildstang 2005

I'm not sure if this idea has already been considered, but could the main use of such a long arm be to reach multiple goals from one position and not just for high stacking? The sense I am getting fromn these forums is that a long arm and high stacking is not practical or highly possible, so instead of using the arm for vertical purposes, could 111 use it for horizontal, aka multiple goal use?

Just my 2 cents...

How does the robot not fall over, and how far outside the 38" x 28" rectangle does it reach?

if the robot does ever fall over with an arm that tall there will be a lot of damage to that robot and any other that happens to be under it after it falls...

Considering Wildstang has so much experience picking things up very very high, I can tell you I would be extremely surprised if this robot tips over once all year long.
