Looks very nice. This is probably the first collaboration that was done in Florida. Can't wait to see these two monsters in person.

... Wendy, remember when I told you last week that you guys will be fine and done before the ship date?

That is really cool. Looks very sturdy and ready to have plastic pool tubes thrown at it. Nice job.

Just not the coaches, please...one George Wallace is all the world needs!

I can't wait to see Minotaur at Palmetto, and hopefully 1902 in Atlanta (grumble grumble spring break not the week of UCF grumble grumble).

you guys have to admit the green and orange looks much better

thanks for all the comments guys, can't wait to get to the competitions

Crazy. Probably the first six foot bot I've seen, at least I'm assuming it is 6 feet, looks big. How close does it come on the 72 inch rule? Besides that, looks good guys. good luck.

Heh actually its only 5 ft. We went for the 5 ft. 110 class for an easy arm. The arm at full extension including the gripper does not exceed the 72"x72" box that you are allowed in.

I think the max is something around, ~103" to the bottom of the gripper. So it has the height needed.

Hopefully soon we'll get some good close ups of the mechanisms and some videos of it completed and running around.

The only things really not seen in this pic are our ramps and our sensor packages for autonomous, and autonomous assisted drive.

Amen to that, brother. I don't think I could deal with me on my own alliance. I'd probably mouth off to myself. Then I'd have to put myself in my place. Soon I'd be fighting with myself. Then I'd stop talking to myself. It would be a messy affair, I'm sure.

The question is, Billfred, if I got into a serious argument with myself, whose side would you be on?

[Andrew Rudolph]

Looks awesome guys! That orange and green rocks the house, ready to see some videos of it.
