I believe the turret rotates to about 233 degrees (oh okay close to it... don't remember specifically). We carry roughly 14 cells.

Pro.E
You are probably thinking about Roccobot 2k or 2k2. No powdercoating this year. We left it gray and angry.

I would like to answer these questions (look up for amount of cells we carry) but we have some serious work to do on Thursday in hopes of improving our numbers to a more acceptable level. So sorry, won't give exacts. Ask again after Thursday.

Thanks Alex and Dillion, we will keep that in mind on Thursday. Video of us powering Roccobot 2k9 for the first time.

At least the bumpers will be pink...right? *sob*

These robots are always impressive when you think of how much CAD work goes into them. This team is blessed with machine shops that can keep up with the drawings that are being fed to them.

233 may have themselves a third Einstein appearance in a row.

There is one part of the robot that is actually PINK.

You can see most of the ground work here. Posted this since it will be very difficult to check out with everything else on top.

That's a Nice Robot but the Pro-E Model is even nicer.

I showed that Model to my mentor at work and he was amazed that you were able to make something that nice in 2 weeks. How many people worked on it? I'm assuming that it was a group of people because that would be almost impossible to do with one person. (Then again, you are the PINK team.)

Back to the robot though, that is by far one of the most beautiful robot's I've ever seen. I'd love to see it function, something tells me I'd be very fun to watch the balls snake through that delivery system.

From another team that is clearly a fan of pink....thats very cool and I love the design. Good luck to you all in the rest of the season!
