Re: pic: WildStang 2010

Any chance we will be able to see some video of it in action? Or do we just have to wait till Midwest?

Also, looks like you can cross the bumps is this true?

Re: pic: WildStang 2010

Uh. Oh. Wildstang is simple and has a swerve. Where have I seen that before?

Now, the real question: what's it weigh? I don't see any lightning holes. That REALLY scares me.

Re: pic: WildStang 2010

Has Stang EVER done a narrow body robot? That seems so... wrong. That and the normal bumpers.

Looks awesome. Love the bump oriented swerve drive!

Re: pic: WildStang 2010

The lack of tie-dye frightens me a little bit.
Looks fantastic!
Can't wait to see it in action!

Re: pic: WildStang 2010

I was talking to someone on my team and said, "Yeah, 111 will reveal their robot soon. It will just be a picture of a box bot looking robot like nearly all the other ones. You won't be able to tell how it works of if it will be good".

After Wisconsin and Midwest, I'm sure I'll have a pretty darn good idea how amazing it is.

Re: pic: WildStang 2010

What makes this picture scary?

1. Camera is front and center, and I would bet a pretty penny that its working quite well.
2. Their wheels look like they've had some significant practice time on them...uh oh

Now I'm really, really scared... Not because of the fact that you have at least 10 lbs to improve with, but because of the track record...

I don't know how to answer that but the word 'coincidence' jumps to mind. We just see it as we forgot to add something. Uh signage and lexan, yeah that's it. Don't forget we had great partners too.
