In a way I hope may teams prove me wrong. Marjory "Frosty" |

I can't wait to see Boris on stage. Good luck! Mike |

Can't decided which animal.

Other on team Blue Lightning Alumni Association from RWU sponsored by FIRST-A-holics Anonymous. In Reply to: Re: Spider-bot Posted by Michael Betts on 1/16/2001 1:23 PM EST: Mike, Don't give them to much credit. Apparently they can't decided with animal they want thier machine to imitate. First it was hampster's now it's spiders. I expect that they will be flying over the stage like brids soon and dropping the balls into the goal. Spiders, and Hampsters, and Goats...OH MY!!! Only problem with spiders is that they usally get squished. -Justin |

I will be very impressed with robots that can get over the bar before the match is all over WHILE not leaving pieces of their robot all over. Hit the ground running! Joe J. |

Engineer on team #111, Wildstang, from Rolling Meadows & Wheeling HS and Motorola. In Reply to: getting over before it is all over... Posted by Joe Johnson on 1/16/2001 8:33 PM EST: Well I can think of one design that can "swim" and "skim" over the bar in less than 3 seconds. You just need the right software and a variation of the Aztec bot from '99. But it would take some extra motors to get over quickly which would not leave much for other functions. What am I doing on this forum giving people Wild ideas? I should be doing some analysis or Stangthing! Raul : I can thinks a lots of ways to go over that bar, I will : be honest I didn't much any of them : I will be very impressed with robots that can get over : the bar before the match is all over WHILE not leaving : pieces of their robot all over. : Hit the ground running! : Joe J. |

Posted by Justin on 1/16/2001 5:27 PM EST: We weren't "imitating" hamsters.. we were using them as an alternate source of power.. Hamsters can drive spidery legs.. you can only imagine... A Goat which morphs into a Spider all by the wonderous miracles produced by a little furry powerhouse.. Harness the magic.. |

But don't worry... the genetic re-engineering required by the combination of the Mountain Goat, Hampster, and Spider powers will satisfy our need to be design-happy.

Student on team #192, Gunn Robotics Team, from Henry M. Gunn Senior High School. In Reply to: OVER THE BAR = #%? (not the bridge!) Posted by Anton Abaya on 1/16/2001 1:31 AM EST: : As I asked who goes under, i know must ask who will hop the fence? : i wonder... : -anton abaya It is actually quite easier to get over the bar then under, because that allows a much bigger space for the robot to go over. I can already see robot with tank treads able to raise the front of their base up there, and just ride right over the bar. And don't forget the pneumatics... one thick actuator can have 180 lbs of force comming out of it, imagine a robot with two of those hopping over the bar. A large arm can also flip a robot over those bars... plus many other ways. As for T190's spider robot, I can't wait to see it in action. |
