Here is our 2006 robot. The driving is kind of shakey because we have new driver, but he has been getting better. It has a very low CG, so tipping on the ramp should not happen to often, but it did make me kind of nervous on the video.

Let me know what you guys thinks.

that is one solid collector. your robot's sillhouette resembles last year's bot quite a bit =) there will be no mistaking it at the regionals. good job!

your a solid robot and would be a perfect fit as a second round robot at nationals. You will be a high seeding robot. What reagional are you going to?

We are going to Detroit, Toronto, and Buckeye.

I hope we do as good this year as we did last year.

I have to second that. That's an impressive demonstration video.

Thats a very nice robot you have there, we had similar ideas about using a simple shooter and shooting from the ramp, but we got too ambitious, attempted a turret, and were unable to complete it due to a few unfortunate events in our engineers personal lives'.

Thanks for all the encouraging words everybody. We are very proud of our "baby" this year and we are looking forward to competitions.

One of the things we are proud of that you can't see in the video is the drive system. We are using all 6 available CIM motors (4 small and 2 big) to drive the BrecoFlex treads. And just like our past 2 years, we are doing it with no chain, only spur gears right to the tread pulleys.

Good luck to everybody;
