[Ryan Albright]

[Arefin Bari]

Dan and Tyty, you guys are still not going to show us the whole robot (the tetra grabber is missing in this pic), Are you...?


... Great paintjob.

OK OK, I wanted to wait till the fix it window past. But if you want to see the evolution of our capping designs go to our website (see link below) and go to the gallery\video section and click on the 179 capping evolution link. You'll see an Ode' to all the arms that came and went, God bless their little souls... But the flinging was the original. I wonder if anyone else out there will do it....

[Tytus Gerrish]

the world wasant created in a day... but our arm was and it caped 12 in 2 minutes and stacked the center goal 6 high. and its arround 13 FPS and can push a full grown man and spam's robot too

here's a link right to the video

[Ryan Dognaux]

Looks very good, I can't wait to see it in about two weeks

[BoyWithCape195]

Aww...that flipper thing is sick, you should have gone with that

[greencactus3]

i see your top sprocket isnt quality painted!!! hahaa
oh and your shoulder pipe? or waht ever that is is rubbing off? or sumone didnt paint enough lol
looks AWSOME!. green.. pink... natural finish of silver.... waht else will i see.

[Swampdude]

It's definitely not as high end as Pink. Although inspired by there quality we always try a little harder. I don't see how you pull off something better than 233 though. I'll never forget my first Roccobot experience The UCF regional has always wowed me with teams like Pink and Heatwave. Also Metal in Motion is back in town! There's so many great teams, I can't wait to see. It's going to be another great season.

Anyhow it's wearing some battle scars and those in my book are perfectly acceptable...

[Gabe Salas Jr.]

I have to say, I really like the finish of your robot for this year. I cannot wait to see it at UCF.

Swampdude, thanks for the kind comments about our team.

As for battle scars, I view them like Han Solo does in Star Wars, "She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid."

[Sterno]

wow..12 in 2 minutes...10 seconds each. nice.

[mizscience]

i love the paintjob! And the robot as well, lol. We were supposed to go to the scrimage that you guys were holding last Saturday, but our bot had a little..."accident" in Thursday building, and it wasn't fixed until Sunday morning...but yeah. See you guys at competition!
