that robot is definatly a a new one, and the other "robot" that you see in the background appears to be a ball collection device.

i no wat the black box does, it sends out a signal to disable all the other robots and then a rele low frequency sound to have elephants come and step on all the other robots. the plow is there to push the remains of the robots off the field and the suspension is so it jus has a smooth ride over a dead robot parts.....hahaha jkjk

it looks rele nice guys. great job, but wat is that suspension for

Its a "gyro"/Yaw rate sensor that was created by the team. I give this team a huge hand and commendment for coming up with a team designed use and actual yaw rate sensr this year.

[Kevin Karan]

Oh, you MADE one. Im guessing to keep the cost down. We were going to go with an old first yaw/rate on our bot, but we made an accelorometer for under $10, then we decided that there was no reason to use it... Are you using it for ajusting your "legs" while climbing?

[velocipenguin]

Does the mysterious black box contain a board with a MEMS yaw rate sensor, or is there an actual homemade sensor in there?

I took one look at that picture and realized that that robot looked very familiar. I went to my pics that I took at the St. Louis regional and found your robot and found out why it looks familiar. It is very similar to last year's robot but this year's isn't purple. You must have liked that design.
