(naw- can't be autonomic. Otherwise we'd be playing in Vagus- not to be sympathetic)

No ohms here- sorry

ITS TIME

oops I guess my clock is off

[Bharat Nain]

Now we can play the "Where's Alexa?" game.

[Tottanka]

this thread probably has right now around 50 refreshes per minute

(By the way, 4 am, i stayed up studying, just to see the new 25...well, i HAVE picked them 2 times in Fantasy First, they'd beter give me something good )

[Scott Carpman]

Whatever it is, it will dominate. I can see it now, turning flawlessly at 17 fps.

BALLER!!!!!!

[Danny McC]

Can't wait to see that in actions over the next three days.

[Tottanka]

I have to say, that iv'e been waiting for more.
I know i haveseen nothin yet, but please, 25 members, correct me if i'm wrong.

Do you have to push the ball against a wall in order to pick it up?

(that's the only con i see by the way)

pros:
shoots from up high - hard to block.
cool all in 1 action to hurdle.
CAN PLACE BALL ON OVERPASS!!!OMG!!!

[Andrew Morris]

Nice hurdle on the move and placing the ball.
Can't wait to see it at Atlanta.

[=Martin=Taylor=]

Is that really how it picks up the ball? By ramming it into the wall? Hmmm.... I'm not sure that's the best idea but we shall see...

As for the hurdling part. AWESOME! That's pretty flippin fast!

[Branden Ghena]

It shoots really high too. You generally won't have another trackball on top of the overpass to go over.

Does the robot have to stop while it shoots the ball, or was that just for effect?

[thefro526]

Nice robot once again!!! We'll have to see how it performs in NJ though. Lol your '06 bot is still my favorite robot ever.

[AJ R]

I like the way they pick up the ball. It doesn't require a person to time when to close a gripper. It is also nice and simple not requiring any extra motors. I thought about a grabbing mechanism that would need to use a wall kinda of like theirs, but never really pushed it or just didn't bring it up.

[cziggy343]

another great robot from 25! i love that ya'll can throw over other balls... its a nifty ability to have

[Tetraman]

I kinda got it right
