Yes, all turreted shooters will be just as good as 1114.

lmfao, this is what I was talking to you about John. haha, but its awe inspiring as well. =)

[jblay]

i was wondering how effective you guys are when you are moving or your target is moving or both

[Herodotus]

Epic Win.

Seriously, 1114 never fails to impress. I absolutely cannot wait to see this baby in action, either in Atlanta or at IRI.

How does the roller system in the back align all of those balls that nicely?????? i see the spiral rollers but is that it??

[Jonathan Norris]

Another amazing robot by the Simbots, you guys continue to impresses me year after year. You manage every year to assemble a talented group of mentors, who inspire smart passionate students to not only create a robot that impresses us all, but a professional TEAM that blows me away.

That's going to be one tough bot to beat with the best Drive Team in FIRST... but that certainly doesn't mean we're not going to try

More like... This is why I think 1114 will do well this year.

1114 is always the cream of the crop. 2 weeks ago we saw their robot and it was something most teams would be ecstatic to put out on their field. A week ago it was even better. After these redesigns it looks ready to dominate just about everyone out there (and note that they could probably win both their regionals without ever firing a shot from range).

This shows the amount of time and effort they put into their design. Nothing is ever good enough, and they strive for perfection. This mentality is what makes them great year after year.

Imagine how good they will be by mid April...

They'll be really good because everyone else is dead of heart attacks from the imaginings of this nature. Either that or everyone else is right up there next to them in the alliance stations.

[AndyB]

I'm very impressed. Very simple (again), elegent (again), and quick (again). It might just win you guys a regional or 7... =)

So after seeing it a bit this year from you and your partners in crime, 148, I have to ask, what are the specs on that sheet metal?

JVN said that most of the stuff they work with is .063, .090, and .125

RC and I are definitely inspired to try out working with sheet metal over the summer thanks to 148.

Looks Sick. It'll definitely be a force to be reckoned with throughout the season.

[KF987]

Great Bot Guys!

Looks crazy similar to what we came up with...

I LOVE the back roller system!! The shooting is so smooth. Not to mention mad driving skillz. Not that anyone's surprised of course

Well done can't wait to take a closer look at Atlanta
