Heh, ok see you guys at UCF!

It is great to see another sophomore team with so many good ideas packed into one robot.

1. You used your arm extension motor as a counterweight. Cool.
2. Your four-wheel drive system is ingenious.
3. It lifts really high for such a short robot (did you notice that it looks like a trebuchet?)
4. Your CG looks really low.
5. You took the time to make it pretty.

Nice job! I only have two questions. First, do you have trouble with friction within your arm, or did you find a way to put bearings or UHMW or something inside? Please tell me you aren't coming to Portland.

Congratulations.

They have Juniors on their team and its a tread system, not 4 wheel drive.

It's the team's second year -- therefore a sophomore team. You say potato, I say potato.

I saw that the rubber belt runs along the ground, but since I couldn't see any bogies supporting the tread, and the end wheels both touch the ground, I thought it looked more like a four-wheel-drive-with-a-big-belt system than a real tank track. Since all I've seen are the pretty low-res pics in the gallery, I could be very much mistaken.

AS for the friction in the arm, theres very little of it. And the weight is a a lovely 101 pounds of pure muscle. Thanks for the compliments and most of what u guys said is correct

I am KoZa hear me roar

team 1251

[Conor Ryan]

probably one of the prettiest robots to look at so far. I love the paint job, i wish we had time for that. But your robot looks like it can win. Nice engineering job on it.

Looks a little familiar . Great job!
At that weight you have plenty of room for improvements and get even better. I think we better watch out for 1251.
