What vacuum in the KOP? I couldn't find one, and I did the inventory. It's not on the list either

Besides, I can generate a vacuum with nothing but the compressor, a solenoid, some storage tanks and two cylinders.

And I second the call of fake.

[Uberbots]

The rules say we can generate a vacuum with any FIRST-compatible motor.

Drawings for suction design/reservoir? Even just an explanation of the basic premise?

I just can't see the KoP compressor providing enough air movement to create a vacuum with that much volume.

PLEASE, Prove me wrong!

You dont need to use the compressor... you can use a super-CIM if you like, and then hook it up to a commercial vacuum.

I'd love to see this on a video..and yes, 4 hours is pretty insane and probably some sort of build season record.

[Vanquish]

look at the robot, it looks like there is a ramp on it... Nice hoax. Its just last years robot with a hose stuck on it

If you were talking about our robot, it was very heavy duty. it is extremely reliable and can withstand almost anything. even though it is photoshopped it can withstain the pressure!

Yeah, imagine trying to play the game with a photo for a robot...

[ScottieDo555]

Thanks... on behalf of Erik. It's funny, because I watched him do it, and to me the part of the picture that looked photoshopped was the trackball attachment to the vacuum... and I KNEW that was real because I was there when they took the picture. It's just so round and shiny, it looks unreal.
