Would it be a safe assumption to say that it looks like the top lifts up around 8 inches higher with four pistons?

[DavidGitz]

I don't know, the frame looks like fiberglass extrusion to me. If that's what it is it is probably pretty light.

[Ed Sparks]

110 Lbs total, all aluminum.

The top extends from 17" to 22" and serves to extend the "Platform". Our intent was to serve as a ramp to help others score the extended points. Not sure about the ramp part now .......

I'm thinking about starting a contest to see who can guess the total number of holes in the entire robot.

[Josh Drake]

We won't be competing at Peachtree next week, but we should have some scou..., I mean representatives there

[JamesCH95]

Holey robot batman!

[Ed Sparks]

I think I'll name it "The Cheese Grater".

Go get the Cheese Grater ...........
Where's the Cheese Grater ........... ?
Has the Cheese Grater been inspected yet ..........?
Did you swap batteries on the Cheese Grater .........?

Don't bring any cheese to Peachtree or we'll grate it !


Yea, that works.

Does it whistle when you're moving?

If God made an FRC robot, this would be it... Holy.. get it?

You say it kicks good, but I think your story is full of holes...

OK, I have a hole lot more but I'm done now..

Is the robot name Holy Grail?

[Swampdude]

That would make a nice doggy fence

That thing has more holes than a rack full of dunkin doughnuts... mmmm doughnuts...

Emeril called, he want his collander back.

Easter is coming, that will make a great egg holder for painting.

Well lets start then. My guess is approximately 470.

[EricH]

Bring it on...

Excluding mounting holes, 528 large and 1030 small. Total 1558.

[BrendanB]

378.

How far can it kick/can it kick?

Yes, it kicks very well. There are 4 kick modes, all pneumatic. We can kick the length of the field if required. We actually had to add a second regulator to slow it down a little bit.

Just looking at the Open Holes (i.e. not holes with bolts)
4 very large,
356 large,
500 small,

Grand total around 860.

Now counting the holes with bolts (including the mecanums)....

around 1200 total

It is actually 8 very large holes. 4 standoffs with 2 holes on each(if they speed holed both sides).

You didn't by any chance weigh the robot before you cheese holed it did you? That would be cool to see the weight savings.
