Wow... Beautiful.

Still wish you guys were coming to GLR...

[Rich Ross]

I agree with Don, wish i could see you in GLR. I guess championships will have to do. What drives the elevator?

I'd love to see the ramps

[AdamHeard]

simply amazing... Seems like you guys will be nearly immune to defense.

[AdamHeard]

Are the ramps not on the practice bot just because you don't need to practice them? or are they not on the competition bot yet either.



One thing is for sure though... 254, 330 and 968 will make LA a very high scoring regional. And that's just the teams we know about, I'm sure there's a few more in there as well.

[Joel J]

Those wheels, lol-- They look so small.

Very simple design, looks effective.. good luck.

The rack doesnt move at 16 fps...

[Guy Davidson]

Cory, weren't you guys going to have outer panels to protect the wheels? Or are they just not pictured?

They aren't pictured. We didn't put them on the comp bot yet... just tossed them in the box.

They just aren't pictured. If you look next to each wheel you will see a total of 4 standoffs, they go there.

I wasn't reffering to their top speed. I was referring to the fact that they hug the tube close and the orientation of the tube to the rack doesn't seem to matter. these two together make it look like defense won't have as much of an effect as if they had an arm. If they are spun by another robot, the tube doesn't move as much as if it were on an arm.

[Scott Morgan]

very nice
I look forwards to seeing it this weekend

[AustinSchuh]

Do you have any plans for an autonomous mode?

Great efficiant robot. Tell Matt that I like how well he drives.

[sanddrag]

gotta see if that blue really is darker in person No worries dude. I'm diggin it! C ya thurs.

[Jeremiah Johnson]

That's the sweetest blue I have ever seen. Please don't let it be any darker than what it is pictured.

Are you guys worried about the big black wire dangling off the side? It could be an entanglement issue, unless you've already fixed that problem.

[rachal]

Wow, gorgeous design, and very nice wheels I can't wait to see this at LA.

How is the elevator mechanism actuated?
