Re: pic: Team 254 Teaser #3
When I first read the rules I was dissapointed to find out that we would no longer get to see the new things 254 did to their wheels. Looking forward to hearing about your robot from team members who show up at your scrimmage.
"Team 846 needs a pair of 54 wheels, preferrably in the chrome model...again that's 2 54 wheels for 846." |

Re: pic: Team 254 Teaser #3
I never thought I would see 254 with a "wide" robot
How about taking that t-shirt off the bot? See you guys in San Jose! -Keaton |

Re: pic: Team 254 Teaser #3
Hmm... I'm going to take a wild stab at guessing what's going on here. I see a touch of a mechanism at the top, and a massive hopper with collector at the bottom; however I don't see any belts in between them. (I guess one could be hidden by the guy at the front, but it'd be a pretty small conveyor) So here is my shot in the dark: the robot human and ground loads (based on the position of the t-shirt it looks like an open top) to fill up a huge hopper for a power dumper. The floor of the hopper is actuated upwards to bring the balls into contact a roller at the top that spits out balls until the hopper is empty. I'll guess capacity at 40-50 balls and dumping speed at 8balls/sec. Am I close?

Ok, if no one got it yet, I doubt this is 254's robot. This would explain the change in color. What the Poof's have prepared this year is still a mystery...
And a nonagon would be pretty hard to make in compliance with this year's bumper rules, just saying ![]() |

I'm going to take a random stab, could this be....the Space Cookies(1868)'s robot? I don't know, an earlier post sort of raised that possibility in my mind. Last edited by 115inventorsam : 12-02-2009 at 00:30. |

I am 99% sure this is the Space Cookies robot, I saw them a lot yesterday at 692's practice day and this picture looks exactly like their robot

The collaboration of these teams is a scary thought and as much as I would have liked to see it happen, I don't think it did happen. Mutual ideas here and there, but no real triplets/quadruplets. |

Re: pic: Team 254 Teaser #3
If you look at our past robots they have never been the same shade of blue. The color this year is very similar to the color of our 2007 robot, the blue in 2006 was so dark it was almost black, and in 2004 half of our robot was red.

Re: pic: Team 254 Teaser #3
Judging by the two clamps, I'm willing to bet that the Poof scoring mechanism/internal belts aren't even mounted yet. A lifting hopper seems like too many moving parts, with too much possibility for failure. The poofs don't work that way.
My bet is that we'll see some internal belts and roller going up to a MASSIVE spitting device. I bet we're going to see a more refined version of the 2006 bot, that could unleash DOOM onto an open goal. |
