Our Robot [Is a Box]/[Is not a box] poll

I'm going to guess 75% for box after 100 votes.

I think you'll get a lot of "box with thing sticking out of it" this year.

Re: Our Robot [Is a Box]/[Is not a box] poll

Out robot is a [very slick looking] box. Everything contained in that box is set for a perfect center of gravity. The battery is dead in the middle.

Unlike previous years where a box was a box, boxes this year have very important chassis configurations and designs. And with those bumpers, they look just as impressive and maybe more impressive then robots with big huge masses of metal jetting out the top.

Re: Our Robot [Is a Box]/[Is not a box] poll

Last year our robot was essentially a fridge. I think we did a good job this year of making something a little bit sleeker. And I really do mean a little bit. It looks like a mini-fridge from this angle.

1379's CNC beauty was one of the sexiest as P'tree, and I accordance with Alicen's picture...not a box.

My team's bot's a box...A BOX WITH ATTITUDE!!! All of our angle might not be exactly 90 degrees, but we're close enough.

Re: Our Robot [Is a Box]/[Is not a box] poll

We have a box than can go over the bump, under the tunnel, and still hang from the tower! Although we had a bunch of mechanical problems when we got to the NYC regional... We have to fix them before we go to some off-season events...

Re: Our Robot [Is a Box]/[Is not a box] poll

I said "not a box"... We've definitely got a slant on top, as well as a higher back to help block shots (and lets face it, visibility on the field).

These bumpers definitely leave you with less creative options, as far as the exterior goes. I'm thinking back to 2005 where every robot was different on the outside, and most expanded in some way or another.

Re: Our Robot [Is a Box]/[Is not a box] poll

Its a box, but it does articulate.
The top screen moves up to deflect, but can go down to go under the tunnel.

Here is a short video of it.
