RackStar Specs

4 CIM motor 2-Speed custom transmission
6 Wheel Drive
Brakes
Pneumatic end effector
11 design iterations on the gripper, highly tested
Needless to say, we packed it with plenty of fattening foods in the crate.

4 airtanks are allowed by this year's rules, and I would guess that because they have the compressor and 4 tanks they plan on using lots of air. There are some pneumatic tubes running to the manipulator we can't see...

Re: pic: The TechnoKats 2007 Robot(s)

We don't use too much air, but when u have the room/weight to have all 4, we chose to mount all of them. Oh and by the way, kit wheels rock!

Your machines look good. I wish we could get two built so we could get better practice after ship.

We didn't try the kit wheels, but were tempted. That rubber feels really sticky and should work well, even without tread.

Good luck guys, and I'll see you in Atlanta.

Luckily, by analyzing the shadows, our team was able to figure out many things about your gripper design. Here are the results:

It uses pneumatics
It's good...really good!

You should have just sent us the 3D model!
