When things start to come together
Our robot is.................. well starting to look like a robot =P



Even though the bot was on a table, it still can extend way past the overpass





With what we have the bot is only 85.5lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But more is going on. Also that railing around the back of it is just sitting on there for right now =P.

Nice, we are going with a similar telescoping design. We are using 80/20 with sliders though.. Nice 80/20 holding up the elertronics board

Very good job. This may just be that the picture is zoomed in a lot, but does it violate R<16>?

Re: When things start to come together
is that the 80" rule? If so the bot just fits in that with the flippers extended.

Nice! Wild guess: does it take about 8 seconds to lift?

Everything was made to be as light weight as possible. Since we used epoxy instead of bolts we save weight there. We started making our ball picker upper today and fabbed up some more stuff and we are at like 91lbs now. Our electrical stuff is all mounted on polly carb boards.

The frame is like 37 by 27 and the lift will go like 8ft high if not more. We wont use it all during comp. though
