Here it is. Basically finished and in full competition condition(the picture is from about 3 hours before it was completely finished). The robot works like a charm. We've got pvc wings on pneumatics on the outside, at the great 6 inch height. We have the kit wheels on right now which allow us to drive up the side and manuever around the raised areas easily. We have a second set with our own special rubber to be put on. The drivetrain has two speeds controlled by a servo on the bosch gearbox, light simple and it works as long as you're not moving. We've got an arm, the bottom joint has two positions controlled by a pneumatic and the top joint has full rotational ability. The ball grabber has large 20 inch hoops which completely encompas the ball and lock it in. We can place the ball on the tall and short goals. We've got a goal grabber on the back of the robot. Its a drive on mechanism. We can just drive back onto a goal to grab it. To release it we have a pneumatic. The tube along the arm is our extender. The one in the picture isn't completely up to date, but it extends to well over 10 feet and is guided by the arm so we can grab from many locations and do it easily. So that about covers it, we do everything except grab the 10 point ball or store little balls. I'll get some pictures of it in action up today. Plus you can see more at http://stuypulse.com
