Interesting how so there are so few videos of 2001.
Here's the only one I've found with bees in it:

It's from our old website. Our new website is very behind on creating pages for old robots, so they haven't linked to it yet.
That's a match on einstein, I dont know if it was semis or finals.

Its fun looking back at past robots and seeing just how simple yet effective they were. This one had four drive motors, 2 FP and 2 drill, two claws (yellow side and purple side), and a small arm to lower the ramp.

Q117 is the video with 267 in action with 48, along with WildStang's Rampbot.

Gradually, I'll be adding some match videos from 2002-2005 to this playlist.

Outside of the details already mentioned, the robot also had a 4 or 5 position CAM system for positioning the stinger. They had put the CAMs on the stinger shaft and then put limit switches under them so they could tell the position of the stinger. I can't remember the reasoning as to why they didn't use a pot for the sensing, but their system worked well. The purpose of the tail was to adjust for the varying weight of the goal, which also served them so they could place the goal down onto the ramp.
