Hey Joseph,

Its powered by 2 window motors through a gearbox that is chained to a large sprocket on the arm. No more cables (I hated those stupid things)! Have not broken a window motor yet during our week of practice (can't say the same about the couplers, but we fixed that).

Its mounted under the tube on the back end. Same pitch and starts leadscrew, but 20:1 banebot instead of 64:1.

4 Cim's and 2 Banebots 775's.

Some questions:
What are you using to pivot the arm at the base? I hope you won't go through 30,000 window motors like we did last year.
I know that the FP motor is no longer *in* the arm, but it looks geared down a lot less, is that true?
Why 6 motors in the drivetrain? they can't be all CIMs, are they?! :O
(if you don't want to give all your trade secrets away, you have my email )
Good luck at NJ and DC!

Thanks for all the kind comments.

Looks like our twin for this year is 383 . hahaha, we miss 2753!!

Anyways as much as you guys all give me and Tyler credit for this robot, the team as a whole put in a lot of time and trust me all the concepts and basics are all done by the students with the help of several other mentors. We may have been more involved in refining and tuning. But I cant emphasize enough all the work thats gone in from the entire team..


The team is looking forward to NJ as well, should be a lot of fun (*hope I can be there*)

Out of all the robots that have been revealed so far, I have been drawn to this one the most. I love the overall design, especially how clean it looks. Your claw is extremely effective and it gives 573 hope for our claw(we're using the same wheels, but we broke ours before bagging). I also love how simple the controls are. You really can't beat scoring with the push of one button.

Very impressive. I'm sure it will be a successful year for you guys.
