Very nice design, but you're missing one important thing: Your robot is still that ugly metallic aluminum silver.

Where's the color?

I'm sure the pretty features will be added later.

That robot is awesome. I wouldn't want to be on the other side of the overpass when the ball comes flying over.

I agree, depending on where that ball hits robots will be falling. But on the plus side you can have really cool quotes like "Our tackballs will blot out the sun!!!" Very cool 118, looking forward to the championship.

If that track ball comes crashing into Exploding Bacon's robot there is literally going to be an Oink Oink BOOM!

Actually, if 118 is operating as they have in years past, that robot you see in the video won't see any color. That's their practice bot. Their real one is being made, with color, now.

I think I'll have my share of stating the obvious. . .
Excellent robot - obviously a force to be reckoned with - playing defense on you guys would be interesting (that's a major understatement).

i am almost positive that that has more than 4 motors
because at the 20sec mark, you can see that there is 4 cims at the corners of the tranny, and therefore those additional tensioners on the top and bottom of the motor pic must hold FP motors.
at nationals i heard them talking about a CVT tranny
i hope this is the case
cus that would be amazing.
BTW, your robot is incredible.

Crab + turret + catapult + grabber. That's pretty much the most intimidating combination I can think of. Except for also putting the turret on a lift. But maybe they've done that too, and they just won't show us until competition.

[Drwurm]

Okay, the crab and turret is freaking me out. You guys are gonna be amazing this year, consider me a fanboy. I'd like to seem some pics of the control board for that thing.

[CCCP]

you have an amazing bot
good luck in competition
-post more pics

Hmmm is there a mode that auto controls the turret to stay in the same orientation relative to the field? Looks like it
