pic: 2006 HOTBOT

[George A.]

Without the falling over and the flames in the picture, it doesn't feel like the HOTBOT.

I've always has this thing about desiging robots and then they wind up winning


2001: Beast's loader from the ground
2002: 25's silver scorpion
2003: Wildstang's Wedgebot Idea
2004: 190's Haning and goal protecting
2005: Hot bot's falling over, pitchfork and articulating arm.

I draw them out in design phase and they look good, but no one on my team goes for them...personally I don't think 3 World Championships, a Divionsal Championship, and a really cool bot is all that bad.

This year 67 is almost what I wound up proposing...so I think they'll do well (granted, they'd do well even if I hadn't designed my bot similar to theirs.)
