Thats the funniest thing Ive seen in a long time - Im still laughing

The RC, radio, backup battery, main battery, main breaker, breaker block or other associated support wiring, flag mount, and team numbers. Also, you would have to plug in your OI to enable the RC

all that stuff, in a pile on the floor, wired together.... Frame?! What?!

It looks pretty good, a little more than we have at the moment, but we're moving along. I'm not sure if the wiring is supposed to be all over the place though, been told it makes it a little more difficult when fixing minor problems and the like. Plus you have to untangle some it looks like, just to figure out which goes where. The radio, I'm not all that sure, but, I don't really think it has to be vertical, if I remember right, it will send/receive signals from all angles, or however you want to put it, in more technical terms if you wish, I'm only a second year, so I don't know all the terms you people use.

Better than us so far, its my team's 6th year and we've yet to get anything rolling. We have grand plans and something pretty nice will come together but getting a bot out their and moving around is an important step that you're doing very well with. Keep coming up with ideas and adding to it. Its never too late to add something new. I remember a team that added a hanging device during lunch before the elimination rounds. They weren't even chosen but they kept adding things... quite determined.

I think as a bare minimum rookies should be sure they can get up on the scoring platform. Sturdy wiring and frame will also ensure they can play defense and stay in the game.

Ok, we will have a live bottom feeder system to pick up balls,and get them into the low goals, and we have a shooter, for the high goals, but as for the camera, we are not sure if we are going to use it.

I'm not sure we're going to use the cam either, all we have is the drive train and the base, we are still doing stuff to decide on for the rest of the robot, hope we get moving soon, I want to get back to work on machining parts, I find it fun, you all can handle wiring and programming, I just make the bot, and that's what I'm good at, even if my team won't quite except it.
