This looks killer. Only thing I notice is that you have a compressor, but no visible pistons (excuse me if I`m wrong). Are you going to have a transmission or something? or is that for the claw...

Also, only thing that concerns me is the battery and compressor in the front. Do you think that might cause CG issues?


Last, if it`s not too much to ask, can we see it with the arm out?

Those are AndyMark two speed shifters on the robot, I'd assume that is what it is for.

AndyMark Gen 1's with pneumatic shifter (only one gearbox shown, piston on the far side in this picture. Also pistons to actuate the ramp (not shown, but you can see the clevises in green), and the platform (again not shown).

We have all the power and electronics on the far side plus some of the ramp stuff is skewed that way to balance the battery and compressor. It's a little off center but not much.

I don't have a good picture of the current configuration deployed; I'll try to generate one on Monday
