This is probably the most elegant design I've seen so far. Let's see if it can beat out that awesome 118 video!

It looks really top heavy!!! Are you able to make it up the ramp? And how many balls can you hold? I looks like about 5 or so.

Great looking design, I like the way you change the aiming position with the motor. I am looking forward to seeing this robot at some competiton, maybe at the Championship.

Always looking good Rage

I am shocked... ...SHOCKED!!!!

...Rage is going with a 6WD, red wooden chassis again this year ;-)

If it ain't broke don't fix it! Right Rage?

The rest of your robot looks pretty cool.

Does the shooter aim itself based on the camera & servo? I would expect so.

Great work. I look forward to a lot of high scoring Rage Matches*.

*the WWF can keep their boring "Cage Matches" FIRST has got its answer: "Rage Matches"

Actually we did make one change this year, its stained instead of painted. It looks really nice stained, we finally got some awesome plywood with very few imperfections on it.

The secret to RAGE success is not in the machine. Its in the motivated, enthusiastic people. These guys are gamers!!

Nice Machine.

Go RAGE!!! Can't wait to see you folks in Philly.

how does it keep the balls on the conveyor going up without a pinch plate?

Interesting, your using a similar lift system to 1278. Maybe ill get my advisor to let me post a teaser tommrow, And a teaser video soon Very cool looking!

[sanddrag]

Why do you use the AndyMark planetary and custom gearbox instead of a Dewalt XRP transmission?

Its a cable chain with 3/16 plastic wisker poles spread apart by 4inches.

No squeeze needed.

Yeah...
Usually I'm pretty good at looking at teasers, and figuring out what teams are going to do. This one just totally confuses me though...

Where the heck are they gonna mount the arm, and what is the rest of that stuff doing mounted on there?

Hey John good hearing from you.
At least I got some cable chain in there. LOL
Its to bad we couldn't get the turret in there. Had to scrap the design 2 weeks in for weight.

[MrBlack298]

nice bot. too bad you aren't turreting, that would have been sick. My question is, how are you going to be able to take advantage of the repeatability your shooter had in your original teaser video with a feed system like that? Or is this shooter a different one all together?
