1625 Radical Redesign

[Looking Toroid]

I understand Team 1625 Winnovation has completely re-designed and re-built their robot, except for the chassis/drive train.
Apparently, they wanted to score more in autonomous, and found that their new autonomous mode was so good, they're just going to use it for the whole game.
I'll post more info as I get it.

Looking Toroid? Using autonomous mode for entire match? What sort of a joke is this?

Wait a second, I get it! This fella is beating us to the April Fool's punch by posting two days early. Good one!

Oh, and as for 1625's new design, I believe it looks something like this



I'm not sure it meets the bumper configuration rules!

This just made my day...the bumpers could have been purple tie-dye though...then they really would have rocked.

Hey, Andy, you sure that software to keep him inside the bumper perimeter and keep the trailer hitch in the right location works? You do that, I'll take care of the rover wheels...

[AndyB]

Rover wheel Segway walle?



I love it.


Edit: Jane, you are totally right!



Everything looks better with purple tie dye for the record.

[Chris is me]

Something seems very off. Those don't look like Rover Wheels...

That's an ingenious camera design, for sure.

OK guys, you got me!
I was hoping for another 24 hours to really milk this. Oh well!
I even have video of the upgrade, which was going to be a totally autonomous robot - namely, one of our team members riding around on the chassis, picking up moon rocks and throwing them into a trailer.
In any case : Happy April Fools' Day, from one of the biggest fools around!

A little birdie said that it was still March....



Now it has a red trailer... and team numbers.

Where is the name of the school and sponsers?

[rilesmitch]

this is Oregon robohawks' lead programmer and I happen to know that they made an awsome bot this year.
They placed top 3 teams at the chicago reginal
my team was mentored by them last year.

it looked nothing like that wana be first bot
(the bumpers are orange and it was a wide clear rectangle)

I love it! that would be really amazing at first when i read the name of the thread i was like o.O are you serious but then i opened it and started cracking up! xD

Don't forget the signal light Wall•E needs to pass inspection

[Ericgehrken]

Don't Wall E's arms exceed the maximum dimensions at times?
