"Ham Tray" comes from and Andy Baker story. When we were deciding on the design of our robot Andy decided to tell us a college story. He talked about how he was in a Frat and the meetings always lasted way longer than what they should. If I remeber right there was a guy that was in charge of punlic affairs or something like that, and he went on and one about a ham tray at one of the meetings. After that any time someone wanted to stop a certain discussion in the metting, they said "Ham Tray" and that was the end of it. After Baker told us this story we started using it during our meetings. When we were trying to come up with a robot name that somehow snuck its way onto the board of ideas, and it won.

I like the pig farmer theory better. I'm stick'n with that. Oink.. Oink

See you at nationals.

And to think I thought it was a description of the robot. What was I thinking?!

But which one is the real one Greg? The one of the left has a 6WD and bumpers, while the one of the right has sporty 6" AM Mecanums and four additional pistons attached to the claw/shoulder.

I'm a mentor on Team 1720 (the team who hosted the event), and let me tell you, 45's robot is awesome!

As was every team who came to the practice invitational. You all were great! And it was a lot of fun.

(Ever see Andy Baker do a belly roll over four trackballs? I have... )
