Re: Coolest thing on your bot??

I loved our drivetrain this year (granted, there wasn't much else to the robot), but my favorite thing about Speedy Debris is the electrical panel. After a bad connection at the distribution block cost us the quarterfinal round at Palmetto in 2007 (and, admittedly, just not liking how we wired Uppercut), we resolved to step our game up for 2008. The new panel has far shorter wire runs, sits lower, is more compact, and is easier to troubleshoot. Oh, and it's not on a part of the robot that'll come loose and start flapping around.

Re: Coolest thing on your bot??

The final revision of our paws mechanism. It encircled the 300 degrees of the ball, got 2-3 hurdles/match at its peak in Atlanta (needed more practice tbh), and I didn't see anything like at the competitions I went to. Oh yea, and the purple on them helped the elegant aesthetics of the bot too.

Re: Coolest thing on your bot??

Hm...I would have to say our pool noodles. Knocked the balls down 100% of the times. And, to keep them down, we had them bent forward, under our forks, and so when the forks fell down, then our pool noodles went up.

Or it could be the picture of Dean Kamen we put on our pool noodles...I dunno..you pick.
