Wow! Can that swing a tetra over the top of the robot?
I like the blue vision panel.

I guess if you really wanted to

The dual FP motors work real well for the arm, we had to slow it down quite a bit to be operator-controllable (or maybe we need a faster driver). The blue stuff is clear lexan sheet, still has it's protective covering on for shipping. We also have an active tetra manipulator, a claw you can just see there. C'mon there's something else very interesting here that you're missing...

Anyone have any guess as to what FMG stands for?

Here's a better pic.

I am guessing you are indicating to the omni wheel drive. The robot looks sweet. Great job!

Well, it's an inside joke, but our cover is: Friendly Metal Giant/Guy

And yes, the omni-drive works extremely well. I guess we'll all find out how well killough drive systems do in competition, I'm counting 5-6+ teams just on CD alone that have some sort of holomonic motion capabilities.

All the cool stuff's on the rc (OBVIOUSLY biased opinion)

People at SVR will get to see our stuff in action

An inside joke? I still don't know what it is! (And I don't think I ever will).
