Go to Post There's no feeling quite like that one you get when you're behind the diamond plate controlling a metal beast that you've put your blood (literally), sweat (more literally), and tears (probably literally) into, and it working. Undescribable. - scali [more]

Re: A Robot That Inspires You

25, 40, and 173 were very inspirational to me... they both had very robust designs. they were the kind of robots you could repeatedly crash into the rack with and they wouldn't break.
Our robot, although it performed very well, was in fact very flimsy and a simple push in the wrong area would have put us out of competition. luckily, the only times that happened were at our scrimmage and the final match of the UTC regional.

in any case though, 25's robot was untippable and transferred its momentum very well when hit. 40 had a strong arm, a very well done autonomous, and could easily be driven around with as much recklessness as humanly possible. 173... that was one beast of an arm, and it was also extremely fast. you could RAM that arm at full speed and nothing would happen to it. It is mechanical aspects like that which i am planning to use as models in future design proposals for robots to come.
