I have to agree with Kressly on this one. Sweet Jesus.

148 knows how to build their bots down there in Greenville and this year is clearly no exception. I bet this bot is quite successful this season, and guess what, rumor has it that they have improvements already planned.

Be afraid everyone, be very afraid.

Grats to everyone at RoboWranglers for putting out yet another quality bot. Everyone should strive to achieve the quality of build that 148 is known for.

Naw, that would never happen.

Hmmm its like I've already seen this robot before....Who designed these parts Paul? Because that seems very complicated for a couple of students.

If you want to call a team out at least have the guts to use your name and team number instead of a fake account.

I am in love and scared to death of that thing. Looks like it eats small children. Props for the articulating drive.

[Brandon Holley]

pfft...thats it? I thought you guys would come up with something a little more impressive...


Seriously though, what an impressive feat of engineering. Can you elaborate on the drive setup?

[Karthik]

Another amazing creation by the Robowranglers. These guys are by far the best team in FIRST at creating highly competitive robots that look like something that you would see on a showroom floor. I had the opportunity to spend a week with these guys during the build season and was blown away by how well this team functioned. Everyone knows about their all-star mentor base, but they also have some of the most ingenious students that I have ever met in this program. It's neat to see the "final" versions of the prototypes that I saw being work on in week 2. (In fact a couple of these prototypes had significant influence on the 2010 1114 robot.)

Congratulations on an amazing machine. I can't wait to see it in Atlanta and maybe even sooner...

Don't forget the memorable alliance of 217 and 229 from 2005.

Now who were those two mentors again...?

Well, if you want to go there and reveal yourself I can put you in contact with high school senior Charles Wensel and high school senior Parker Francis who designed the initial prototype Nonadrive and 50 - 60 percent of the robot you see in the video. Team 148 and 217 have the exact same philosophy when it comes to FRC: Students work along side engineers. Not all student done, not all engineer done, but completed together.


Your ignorance just makes me laugh and your cowardly way of creating a fake account makes me sad for you. I would like to know: how many high school students have you inspired in the last 10 years? I bet it doesn't come even close to the number that I have inspired. I usually hold my tongue in these cases, but morons like you just push my buttons.

[Ian Curtis]

Since you guys are right down the road from Caddo Mills Airport where Armadillo Aerospace does their thing, do you ever have any interaction with them?

Nice robot too!

EDIT: After watching this video a few more times, I think that this may be the year that one robot can carry 2 BLTs... Wowsers!

NEVER Underestimate a student...

Forgot to mention; THAT BOT IS KILLER! i dont wanna go up against it which I probably wont, but i feel bad for whoever does! The lifter is SWEEEEET! and I am also extremely curious as to how you hold those balls so well?! Is it classified? or will you spill the beans
