Re: 2009 REAL ThunderChicken Robot

You know, after what I saw at the scrimmage this weekend, I like the first bot pictured better. The bot with that system was kicking our butt. lol

I'm willing to wager that there shooter bot will have even more butt-kicking ability. It is the Thunderchickens after all.

I'm going to have to disagree with the complexity statement, at least in its entirety. The only "dumper" robots this year that I have seen that look like they could truly decide a match I would not classify as simple. They all have multiple belt runs, custom transmissions, rollers, and structures, a helix, etc. These are not simple machines and have just as many possible places to fail. There are other "dumpers" that are simple, but IMO these will not be particularly effective. Any dumper that takes more than 2 seconds to dump 10 balls or so seems to be out of luck since they rely on being next to another robot. I stand by my statement that both shooters and dumpers will be equally effective this year so long as they are built to maximize there strengths. I also believe that a combination of the 2 types is truly the most effective.

It's a beautiful bot and seems to have the potential to go very far, but why does it have to be gator colored.

Re: 2009 REAL ThunderChicken Robot

I have to admit, the lack of green actually makes me more suspicious of this one than I was the first bot. Plus, I decided to trust Paul last time. Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice... still shame on me actually... wait... I think I messed that up.

Whether this be the real 217 bot or another team's robot, it's looking pretty sweet and I'm sure it will be a beast. (though I think if 3069 get's some drive practice in they'll be doing pretty well too.)

And you know, I didn't think that other robot was so shabby. Great job again making your own robot while helping another team.

Re: 2009 REAL ThunderChicken Robot

The more I see of these teams going to Midwest, the more convinced I am that this regional has the potential to be legendary. Absolutely awesome looking robot by the Thunderchickens. I can't wait to see it live.
