On the way to Battlecry this year, we were going to put the robot under the coach bus. Unfortunately, this coach bus was about 4" not deep enough underneath to fit the robot. We had to stick it in the back of a mentor's pickup truck. Double unfortunately, it was raining. We covered the robot with a tarp. Triple unfortunately, all this extra set up made us late. The robot beat the team to WPI, and team 40 helped our mentor unload the robot, because we were in the next match with team 40. They lent us a battery, and we dried the robot off with paper towels and put it on the field sans bumpers or dashboard. Nothing smoked! |

Re: pic: Robot In The Rain
Haha, this reminds me of the July 4th parade we were in last year. We had to first cover the float the day before because it poured like crazy. Then we got to teh parad starting site in teh morning and it began to rain so we had to use our supernatural magic powers to find tarps to cover up the robots so that we could run them later on when it wasn't raining. Too bad our float was made out of paper...

Re: pic: Robot In The Rain
Great story, I'm not sure I could justify putting a robot out in conditions like that. Luckily the kids probably wouldn't listen & would still take it out.
Looking into your picture, that doesn't look like a 578 poof ball sticking out of the end of your bot. ![]() |
