Yep. We installed around 16 cold cathode lamps underneath (red & yellow for that re-entry effect). The wings fold up and will eventually be controlled with pneumatics. We added engine nozzels this week just in time for the Championship. The cargo bay opens & closes when the robot holding rack is removed. It's was designed by students in the drafting class, built out of wood in the woodworking class, and finished (including a fiberglass wrap) in the collision repair class.

Future enhancements include:

1) More Lights! (strobes, markers, cold cathodes)
2) Flames from the nozzels (We need to look at H.O.T.'s fire pots)
3) Actuated wings
4) Drive by wire

We will definately have it in Atlanta. Come by pit 34 in Curie!

That's amazing! Has great imagery appeal! Plus it just looks cool!

[Pjohn1959]

That's awesome. Good luck in the finals...

[Pirate_Nelly354]

WOW! That looks awesome!

haha, we're the Pirates so we have a Pirate ship =]

[Graham Donaldson]

It'd be REALLY cool if you could put some toolboxes or something in there as cargo...THAT would be the final straw on making it officially one of the coolest carts ever......but wow... that is awesome.

We can put tools in it.

Congratulations team 34 on the Imagery Award!

[Zyik]

.... That is the coolest cart I have ever seen.

Now, how to make my team have a cool cart like that...

So now you have to build a motorized crane or something that you can control to lift the tools out (or just put on a jointed arm you can move by hand just to say it's an accurate model-)

Just ignore this post.

Yay for Pirateyfullness!

We're Scalawags so we'll have a... Pirate ship too! I'd love to see pictures of yours. (so that ours aren't too much the same)

And as for the remote-controll cart, that's a great idea! I'll be looking into that. Our 2006 robot has big wheels... and low speed... oooh... and the top comes off... yes....
