(sees the 2004 robot, looks for the 1992 robot)
...where is it?!

That's hotness. Can you give us some specs on the '92 robot? (I always love finding little chunks of information on the OG (original gangster--meant in a positive sense) robots from back in the day.)

Well, I am only a student that has been on the team for one year, so I am not really sure about the specs of it. The person who would probably know is Andy Baker. All I know is that it looks cool.

lol... of course i am joking...

the small one looks like its the baby and it cant do any harm... the big one is the killer with the killer arm!!!

Here is another picture DJ uploaded awhile back.

1992 --> 2004

Here are some Misc. specs that I can think of just from memory. It runs off 2 seat motors, one for each side. What you are looking at is only 1/2 of the robot. There was a detachable part used for collection of the tennis balls. See this picture. The robot (part seen) is pretty much all steel and aluminum and the wheels where actually machined from one aluminum plate; giving each wheel a little different pattern. The "ball collector base" actually had an air powered canon that shot a free projectile towards a high point ball which sat on the PVC pipes as seen here.

Wow, how things have changed...

I remember watching a vid from our team in 95 (or it could have been 96) and I didn't recognize any of our mentors, where the bot was being built and where the rest of the bot was . It was indeed smaller than ours this year (which had a arm thats about 10 ft tall (guess)) and didn't seem to be nearly as complicated. I can hardly imagine what things will be like in another 8-10 years.

I know I think it is so cool how it went from being a little baby thing, used played on corn; to being a huge mammoth that can hang itself (not 45) 10 ft. high!

Kat's Klaw looks like it can eat the old bot like a 13 inch ball. Heck, it can probably even crawl up in the small ball holder of Kat's Claw. I looked at the picture, and I didn't see the cool "esophagus" robot. What happened to that, and does anybody (Kyle, DJ, Clark Gilbert) have a picture of that robot? (I think it was 1998)

This is the best picture I can come up with for the 1998 robot.

I also had that pic available, but i thought the 92' would make it look "bigger and better" haha. There are more pics of the robot here.
