it kinda looks like a clock with wheels

How you turn your shooter?

[kjohnson]

Looks like the robot is tipped up on its side and this is a bottom view?

[vVigglEs]

awesome looking base... how much weight is that adding to your robot?

[sanddrag]

I must know at once where you got that insanely large internal gear.

[Jonathan Norris]

WOW.... just amazing

[Andy Baker]

Wow... lots of things here. Let me comment after picking my jaw off the floor.

First of all, I think that is the most awesome, coolest turret ever in FIRST. How did you make the ring gears? Are they wire EDM'ed? Did you have to be precise in how the ring gear segments were lined up?

Secondly... nice holonomic drive. This may be the first worm gear 4 wheel Killough platform in FIRST.

You have this innovative drive base with a drop dead gorgeous turret. These two innovations together takes alot of guts to pull off. This is surely inspirational stuff. Way to go Metalheads!

(edit... initially, I thought this was 85's robot...)

All I have to say is WOW!

Er, isn't Built On Brains team 85?

Regardless, this looks awesome. What's y'all's world tour shaping up to be?

[Eric Scheuing]

I like it. That must have taken a while to build.

How does it work though?

(Note to self)-He's not going to tell, that's the point of a spoiler.

After staring at it for a while like this ... I would like to ask just like another member asked in this thread... how much does that beast weigh?

[Alekat]

I've never seen so much and yet so little.An awesome drive and turret, but I have no clue how you intend to shoot or gather balls. I can see you have some wheels on top, but they seem so far apart. And the canvas on right is very intriguing. I guess you intend to fold out a conveyor system from your starting position?

I get that it's a teaser though, I just can't wait to see it in action!

good call. I had a similar design that I thought up for our bot, and it got shot down for that reason. Needless to say, this is one sick, sick robot.

[Stuart]

that is the coolist thing I have ever seen . . . all I have to say is WOW. awsome job 81

[Nita]

Nice battery box (if that's what it is on the left). My team built five battery boxes because the previous one just didn't work. The final version was tweaked to fit from my design, so I'm happy.
