Go to Post Engineers are not eligible to join NEMO, but that's OK! For us, there is an ad-hoc disorganization, notionally dubbed EMO. Meetings have no agenda and are called at random, usually in the evenings following long days at FIRST events. - Richard Wallace [more]

Re: pic: 179 Swampthing 2009

Well I have video of the practice bot, but I hope to get some of this one this morning before we stick her in the box. This one has a number of upgrades from the practice bot, but basically the same. I'll post one or the other tonight. It will have traction control crab drive, uses camera to score. The balls feed into the bottom of the basket and the basket is dumped by rolling up the strap on the top crossbar. In theory it could hold and score well over 35+ balls. Also the backboard shape makes it easy for the payload specialists to throw balls in the basket. It's a lot of fun to drive. She eats any ball in any condition. Also the real amazing thing here is that it weighs 100lbs.... So We're having trouble adding weight inconspicuously. I love the 1x1x1/16 alum box tube, we've never used it before.
