This other robot of yours looks a lot like it.

I've always wondered how the 233 telescope system works... now is as good a time as any I suppose:

1. What slides against what? (bearings on a track, grooved wheels?)
2. How is it extended/retracted? (cable? rack and pinion?)
3. How much overlap is there between the sections at maximum extension?

Wer'e not particularly focused on a telescoping system for 2011, i'm just curious...

[Chris is me]

Well that wasn't so hard.

Can I borrow it?

[sportzkrazzy]

Does it pick up the other two shapes as well as it picked up the tubes in 07? =)

[GaryVoshol]

Slap on some bumpers, and I think you might have it.

Haha, you actually think that'll make it to the finals of Einstein?? Good joke.

Much love for the 233 bots.

Is this a joke?

Yes, that is their 07 robot. They were finalists on Einstein.

Probably on the bottom side of that nice pivoting arm they have. They telescope it backwards to deploy.

Yes, I do.

XD Our '07 robot is almost entirely disassembled, so it looks like it's back to the drawing board

Heh. And OUR '07 robot performed horribly, so it's back to the drawing board for us, too...

We are using ours as a counter-example!
