team 180? 183?

[Billfred]

As the guy who did the rankings at Robot Rodeo that year (in a strange-smelling back room with Gary Dillard using a white board), I can say with certainty that 1083 (Team Emoticons) competed with their own robot. They were also somehow shorted a match in all the ZOMG-the-field-broke scheduling, but such is the peril of being the host team.

okay i dont think its 1083

i think its 183 i have a partial side picture if you zoom you can see a 3 or a 6 following an 8


we call it the disney bot because they were only sponsered by disney

they did hang from the bar attached to the pvc is a length of cable wich is connected to a very sweet looking grappling hook

That being said I suspect it is 1068 they were sponsored by Disney and only existed 2003-2005 from Orlando, FL

[gorrilla]

it is not team 1083 it does not have omniwheels



it could still be 1068 or something else

Ok, I dug through some old stuff I got from 1065.

Here's what I've come up with. (We're talking 2004 Robots, I hope).
In the background, 1083

Background once more, 1068.




I'll keep looking...I thought I had some left over 186 stuff. ><

A list of teams who competed at the Florida Regional in 2004. I'm not sure which are Florida Teams, or what Florida Teams didn't attend the regional, but hopefully the list will help. Process of elimination anyone?

Hanging on a bar could also be 2000.

Yes, but that doesn't meet gorilla's timeframe of being given the robot when his team organized in 2005.

[gorrilla]

not 1065 or 1068 it could be 2000 on the robot it has 2 cim motors and drill motors


i dont know how old it was when they gave it to us


you should see how it throws the grappling hook there's a piece of pvc attached to a moving arm that pulls forward somehow and springs back with surgical tubing and throws that hook which is reeled in by a window motor we never got to see it work because it was not working when they gave it to us(i really want to get it working but everyone else on the team wants the other old robots working)


i think it was from 2000 because that was the year the championship was at epcot and one of our metors son was on that team and they somehow got the robot when they started team 1557 we will all know for sure on thursday night

There were no CIM motors in 2000 though, so unless they retrofitted them on there 2004 is a better option.

[Greg Needel]

if you guys have never messed with it any chance you can just look at the dip switches on the RC. 2004 was the last year teams had to set their numbers that way. I am assuming from your description that you haven't done much with it and in that case i would bet their team number would still be the one set there.

Same thing goes for the OI, it should have the team number listed on it.

[gorrilla]

i can find out the team number tomorrow its on the side of the robot too i just havent got a picture of it and if i knew the team number i would still not know what happened to this team it would be really funny if they were still around

Yup, sounds like 2004. That was the year of the turnover to CIMs

[gorrilla]

i found out its team 186 so what happened to them
