Awesome bots! Great job maximizing the resources you have to make something that should hopefully prove successful on field. You guys are in a similar boat to my team in a lot of ways. Hope that 8wd is growing on you!

Hope you put those hockey sticks to good use however you do. Good luck this year! (and if you can give me any tips on making your ball magnet work...)

Beautiful! It looks like you have a lot hidden under there. I have always loved your skills in building with wood. We look forward to seeing you in Seattle! Bring on the hockey sticks!

Now if someone would only build a US hockey-stick robot maybe the Canadians could get a rematch of the Olympics matchup.

Nice robots, Jason, and I'm looking forward to seeing your smaller robot Saturday.

We made our spare moving arms out of hockey sticks. I just hope to not have to use them.

Re: pic: 1346 Breakaway Twins

We don't have to wait to see a Canada/USA Gold Medal match... the rivalry between the Canadian and American women's teams is quite possibly the most intense rivalry in all of hockey at the moment and the game starts in about 75 minutes.

I'm hoping for a rematch on Sunday, too. Regardless of what happens however, any tournament where we get to lay a whupping on Russia is a good one.

Oh... right... this is a robot forum. Back to work on the ball magnet now, and thank goodness for HD streaming video.

Jason

Re: pic: 1346 Breakaway Twins

The hockey stick roll cage is a sweet idea, but dont you lose the functionality of going under the tunnel? or was it never intended to go under? and does it go over?... honestly from what i've seen, if a team goes over, it will most likely go over sideways. and i honestly think the CG is low enough on most bots to not roll easily if at all. but at the same time this is FIRST, we've defied physics before any vid of rolling the bot over the hockey sticks?

OK, so another Canadian team in Vancouver knows how to use hockey sticks. Congrats.

Phew. That was close.

But the celebration going on in town right now is amazing. Wish we could people as excited about robots in this part of the world. Heck, wish we could get them 0.1% as excited.

Jason

Edit: Oh, yes... we've been back and forth over the bump several times with no problems, and have a practice robot and three weeks to refine our technique before the Seattle tournament. The sticks actually make it impossible for us to roll as our centre of gravity is just too low... unless we completely flip on to our top. With the sticks we can't do that. An end-over-end flip, is a possible, but unlikely method of leaving us turtled... and if we need to prevent that we can just bolt a "roll bar" on to the front, so we can't tip that way, either.

Should we want to go under the tunnel, the sticks remove with four bolts, but honestly, at this point the bump holds little fear for our 'bot.
