It was, despite some of the minor problems in the beginning, a really cool bot! How long did it take to make?

September 09, 2006 we got the jeep

[(Click_Here)]

Our team was actually going to construct a robotic go-cart, but instead we decided to create another "frank bot" since the other one started attacking members on the team because it was severely damaged from an accident.

Your Jeep robot is very creative, and best of all you guys got it together before the ruckus. Good job 340

It was such a fun project. We had high expectations for it... ie) working windshield wipers, new paint job, working horn. This, as we should have known, weren't going to get done. We had the windshield wipers working on a 90 degree pneumatic, but took them off due to space and time restraints.
We will get the transmissions going again. We're looking into the servo shifters to eliminate the whole pneumatics systems.
After we get the basics fixed, we'll look into the new paint job and all the other accessories.
It was fun driving the Jeep, when it actually worked. The harvester worked like a champ. We scored 24 points in one of our matches all by ourselves, due to 1567 and 2567 both not working.
One time during autonomous, a team blasted across the field and hit our Jeep, which was standing still. Our drive team yelled across the field.."WATCH THE PAINT!!! I HOPE YOU HAVE INSURANCE!!!"
It was cool to have more fun then you normally would with a robot.

Haha, I remember one of the refs (greg?) saying to check if it was turned on. Then check the oil gauge!

Haha yeah. I remember that. I was turning around to head back to the player's station after setting the robot up, and Greg yelled from across the field "check the oil gauge!" I didn't understand him at first, but on my way back I got it. It made me smile, and I had to share it with the rest of the drive team.
