Our robot...


The mysterious box... hmm...


hehehe... i really wish we left our crate like this =]


Everyone at the expo seemed to compliment the fact that a rookie team got a robot to move, haha. We're still working on last minute things of course, so...
what do you think?

Nice! We're a rookie team too, but we couldn't get our robot to look as awesome as that. Nice job! (OMG - Is that an omni-drive?)

No, actually we have two big wheels separately controlled by different joysticks on our controller.

Yay rookie teams! haha

I'm guessing it awes you with its greatness, so while everyone is staring at it, they get a ton of laps.

Being serious, it looks to me like a great "run around really fast and get lots of laps" robot.

Then what's with the pole and pneumatic tubing? If it was just supposed to drive around, why would it need pneumatics?

Haha, yeah...
I'm guessing that they have something that shoots up & knocks the ball off.

It is indeed a lap bot. The pneumatic arm is to knock the balls off in both the begining 15 seconds in a hybrid controled mode, and at the end when other teams try to put theirs back on top. It is controlled via an X-Box 360 controler.
