Re: WO-BOT 2009 141

85 B.O.B.

Just a simple roller with fingers to grad the ball. Its the same roller that will shoot the balls out. its all on one elevator. We should be able to hold 35-40 balls.

And for your pic question you will see it in a few days.

Re: WO-BOT 2009 141

Your robot employs a really good strategy. Opponents will treat a robot holding 2 balls a lot differently than they will a robot holding 20 balls. Unless all your opponents keep a close eye on you the entire match they will be forced to assume you are a perpetual scoring threat. Very clever. I wonder if we will see more translucent machines turning opaque over the course of the season.

I was under the impression that referees had to see the game objects inside your robot as a means of determining whether you are violating <G24>.

I thought there was a specific rule which stated this, but I'm humiliated to say I can't find it right now.

Edit: After much searching I still can't find this. I bet I made it up.
Now 148 can go back to our original plan for Tornado... wood paneling!

Re: WO-BOT 2009 141

My thoughts exactly. WoBots just made the hard job of seeing two empty cells onboard even harder. But then, unless the pilots remember, they won't see the empty cells either ...

What about
<R02> ROBOT parts shall not be made from hazardous materials, be unsafe, or cause an unsafe
condition. Items specifically PROHIBITED from use on the ROBOT include:
A. Shields, curtains, or any other devices or materials designed or used to obstruct or limit the
vision of any PILOTS and/or COMMANDERS and/or interfere with their ability to safely
control their ROBOT

Very cool bot

Very cool bot
ok... the walls of the box are used to lift the elevator and contain the balls inside.
That rule is for a robot that would drive to the other side and cover an alliance satiation from seeing, was my idea.

I distinctly remember this rule for 2006, and I recall being confused when I couldn't find it in this year's manual. You would think with the empty-cells this year it would be more of an issue.


Great looking robot 141, it's one of the more aesthetically pleasing robots released so far. A mysterious white cube that magically opens to spit out orbit balls... like something you'd see in an old science fiction movie.

Re: WO-BOT 2009 141

Wobot is one of the robot teams I always watch. You guys always have innovative problem solving and this year is no different watching that video. Good luck in your regionals.
