Here is our Robot There was a big discussion about our robot. The picture was stretched that's what people didn't take into consideration. everything is the right size for a robot we've been through 3 comps everything is fine.

First off, thanks for all the compliments to our bot this year on the forum, thats great.

1. Team name and number - 322
2. Shooter/Dumper - Dumper
3. How many balls can you approx. hold? - 50+
4. Ramp capabilities? 100% with ease
5. Effective autonomous Mode(s)? Dump 10 everytime from any three starting spots, If a shooter needs spot one or two, we have delay that let's the shooter move to go shoot, then we dump. We scored 10 pts in Auto all matchs last regional. Also shooter blocking modes
6. Speed/Power/Maneuverability - Most say it's the fastest and most mobile bot this year. 4 motor, 4 wheel drive allowed us to push bots around and dead bots onto the ramp
7. Average scoring? 10 pts. always in auto, 30+ dumping and 5 pts. for ramp
8. Shooter location - nota
9. Camera/Manual - nota
10. Post a picture of the robot if you can! - see www.fireteam.org

Other notables - #1 seed at Western Regional, 2006 Motorola Quality award, two weeks later 2006 GM industrial design winners.

-basically un-tippable
-spare part for every robot detail
-lowest center of gravity I've seen yet
-8 different auto modes, including defensive ones

Hopefully this helps, email with further questions.....thanks.
