Very impressive, as always the green looks super cool!

Is the little piece of metal in front a goal grabber?

Wow! How fast does your bot go?? It zoomed accross the field!

Nice robot... I see you're gonna use window motors to move the 2x ball and globes to move the arms... But the thing that puzzles me is the use of the van door motor, which I supose is to somehow with some device go up on the 10ft pull up bar.
There's a question though, does the arm have enough strength that the globe motors won't stall or backwind when lifting up the 3 pound 2x ball?

Once again, a very impressive robot by 179. It only gets better every year, I love it!

[Gabe Salas Jr.]

Nice robot, and I'm glad you guys are going to Nationals this year. I kind of expected a super POed robot from you guys this year, since last year's robot took up the entire ramp and is constently angrified.

Looks like you reverse engineered the 312 machine from 2001.

Might look like that, but I highly doubt they had that in mind. Many bots will have similar design, but will most likely not be identical.

If it runs as good as it looks, you guys will do great

[Dan Richardson]

they did.. yet they changed and who knows .. mayb improved a few things

Instead of the smaller drills from 3 years ago they used the globes.. and at the top they used the windows

very impressive guys :-)

I'm sure your going to have a very industrial grade and very competitive robot this year

actually they said the design was inspired by 312 in earlier posts....either way it looks like one heck of a good job....gl with it....

How does it climb the stairs? Those wheels look awfully small.
