Re: pic: ThunderChickens 2007
FIRST designed the game to generate similar designs. 1 tube at a time, no herding, 72" rule. This year, the best robots will be separated by their strategy and skill, not their mechanical design. Which is good and bad I think...
But the robot looks awesome guys! And anodizing weighs less than powder coat...  |

Astounding. I can't wait to see you guys in Atlanta and Indianapolis.
I love the lift design, but I love the 8-bar even more. How well does the gripper work if the tube isn't fully inflated? |

Re: pic: ThunderChickens 2007
Its not often that a robot leaves me speechless, but this one sure did!
 I think I'm in love....can I have it when you're done with it?????? Amazing job guys...and those ramps, not only are they beautiful, but if they work the way I think they work.....pure genius. I have to see this arm in person too. I'm going to a lot of regionals this year, but you guys won't be at any of them. PLEASE don't break it before Atlanta!!! |

Re: pic: ThunderChickens 2007
Actually, the robot didn't remind me so much of legos as it did of a painted erector set. I think I get the gist of how the arm works, but I would love to see videos of this thing in action to make sure. Also, it amazes me how much a team can do in the weight limit with effective system integration.

Fear the Chickens ...
Paul, Can I pay you now for one of those parking spaces just in case the championship divisions line up?  In all seriousness, this is astounding. How you got all of that done and made weight is simply amazing. Then again, The Chickens seem to be turning the astounding into the norm these days. Congrats.
