Well after long nights, mountain dew binges, countless “that’s what she said” jokes our robot is finally done!

Feel free to ask any questions

Thanks you cant see it but there is one on the inside also... it makes it quite handy when we are trying to get our treads just right

The only person that really tensioned it was Bill, once...... (Bill Skaff is a mentor)

Not true Ian check your facts before you post; often a lot of people used them

A lot of people messed with them. I saw Bill fix them at LEAST once per day, after people messed with them, and he was complaining about "people messing around" each time.

OK. (You asked for questions )

Can it go over the bump?
Can it go throughh the tunnel?
How far does it kick?
Does it control the ball at all?
Whats it's max speed?
Any thing that you'd like to point out that we might not see?

1. In theory, yes.
2. Yes.
3. We don't know in practice. In theory, all the way across.
4. What does that mean?
5. Roughly 1/2 ft/s, which we hope to improve, if at all possible.
6. Personally, I would like to point out my baby; the control box on the rear of the bot. It swings down and has a sliding tray for the Jaguars to sit on so that we can access the other parts and still fit all of those parts in a 6"x13"x10" volume.

1 and 2 are already answered, and for 3, we have 90 lbs at ship total, but we kept the control board.

Well Ian took care of the first 4 quesitons but as of now we have no ball control divice but we have room to add one

Also i want to point out the Perf. Aluminium Armor under the bumpers just because of the look of the whole machine

That aluminum also acts as a chain / tread guard. So, what started as decoration provides a functional purpose; we were originally only going to do that only for chain guards.

One more thing; Bryan, can you post a picture of the back / inside of the bot, for a little more insight? (Pun intended.)

So, you're not allowed to touch a stable gun OR a camera. Good to know.
