Man. I was gonna say that. But I only count 4 wheels.


The spinning disk in the loader is a cool idea. what's the max distance that the turret can shoot?

Great robot, looks like it has lots of clever little features. The record is probably my favorite. Interesting drivetrain, too. It looks like one FP motor driving each front wheel, steered by a globe? Are the rear wheels then each powered by a CIM?

I can't wait to see how it does in competition, it will answer the human-loading/harvesting question. Good luck!

Nice robot. That is an interesting idea of a system to unload.

Nice bot!

My favorite thing has to be that you have like 4 or 5 Kit Bots to practice scoring on.

[Nica F.]

Wow guys, looks like another great bot. And like Barry I counted 4 wheels on the drive as well.

Whats the max number of balls your bot can hold?

[R.C.]

First the awesome turret shooter in 08, now another awsome turret dumper. See you guys at nationals.

[bmarick]

I believe his thing was on 6 inches not six wheels.

and yes this is a similar drive train we are using except we went to all wheels how does it handle? I mean is it quick to respond. Good luck

I like how you guys have gone with a simpler design this year.
I noticed that in some of your pictures you have a camera mounted on your dumper, but in most of the video, you don't have it.
Are you using the camera?
Oh and the packman theme is really awesome!

I said 6" wheels, as in 6 inch diameter wheels not six wheels total.....

Sorry dear, I was probably reading through the thread a bit too quick.

On another note, I forgot to mention how much I liked the Pacman touch to the video.

Looking good, can't wait to see ya'll at work in Houston.

Stupid-awesome robot!!!

I will definitely watch whatever regional you're at via webcast, I can't miss this robot in action.
A thousand kudos, and good luck this season!

[spc295]

I miss Muse, but love the throwback to 2002.
Good Luck in DC, see you fellas at LSR.
