 Designing for failure tends to encourage failure. Worrying about failure analysis during the competition can become a self fulfilling prophesy. Break your pots in the fall and learn how to keep them from breaking. - Mike Betts [more] |

Re: Westside Boiler Invasion Team 461's Finished Robot
You're 100% correct Andy. The backup is complete except for the ramps(which we really don't need to practice with, all we do is drive straight up to the wall and deploy). It is Lexan on the ramps with a 1/16th inch welded box frame. If you look in the video, you will see all the 'speed' holes we added to make weight(~109.9). The only electrical thing on the ramps is a servo that pulls a pin. This is the first year we have built two robots, and hopefully it will pay off. The final robot only took about two weeks to build. It is nice to work out all the bugs on the first one, so the second one could be competition ready. We tried to keep the KISS theory in mind, and I think we did well at doing it. Looking foward to next week at St Louis!
