By the end of it you'll be saying "y'all"

[JohnFogarty]

Well I figure I'll start this out for this season.
Pictures or videos it doesn't matter.

I'll get pictures of the practice bot by tomorrow, and perhaps video.

[KeeganP]

2059 has gone for an offensive bot, with a accuracy of 4 discs in the 3pt goal from 30ft away in under 4seconds, extremely consistent. We've also got a fast 10pt climb at the end. Here's a CAD rendering of the bot -- my very first time attempting a build of this size, so I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Look for an official release video soon.

[ttldomination]

Updated with 1648's beauty shot. The comp. bot is definitely a lot hotter.

We're still tuning things, but the basic gist of things is 10 point hanger plus your run of the mill feeder + shooter.

Here is a better picture for you.


I've been holding off on releasing anything to give the multimedia team time to finish the robot release video. They are running a bit behind.

We just finalized our pieces and will be making 2-3 extras. Really depends on how you prefer to attach it, but what we have right now weighs less than a pound.

[JohnFogarty]

Okay...Now you need to come see me with that one.
That would work. I'm going to guess you're using quarter inch lexan for it aren't you...

Some nice 3/8" wood (or 1/2", not sure) with standoffs. It's surprisingly light, but after a competition's worth of hangs, it's starting to wear.

- Sunny G.

[JohnFogarty]

Hmm. I'll make sure we bring some wood with us then, and some 1/4" Lexan. Just for fun. I'll be coming by to check it out for sure.

[team1102a]

I am excited to return for my 9th year as Game Announcer.
We've got Ted Creech from 2 years ago as MC.

Both Ted and I are fighting sore throats this week and might not last the competition, but we are going to give it all we've got.
