The Robonauts 118 - 2013 Video

[LeelandS]

So many thoughts... Where do I even begin?

First, beautiful machine. Definitely a Robonaut robot. Sleek, stylish, a little boxy, but we're all open minded, so blocks are welcome.

Secondly, SWEET HOLY MOTHER OF KAMEN. What a robot. This monster of a machine is going to be running the field in almost every match. My first inclination is to say it is perfect. Though I know nothing is perfect, I think 118 may be a top contender for being closest. It's accurate from the pyramid or the loading zone, and has a climb that's really scary, to be honest.

Third, I'm jealous. You guys have the same climbing design that we had (and rapidly pursued until last week), but couldn't figure out how to make it really work. Kudos to you guys.

And finally. Wow. Just wow. You guys rock. You guys inspire me to compete at a higher level more than any other team. I've never felt so inadequate about my own robot. 118 is amazing.

Beautiful job. Not sure what's gotten into everyone here, but you've succeeded in inspiring me to make our robot even better. I look forward to Lone Star and SVR!

They like to travel so there is no place safe from them.

That about sums it up right there.

Wow. I thought I'd see some pretty OP robots this year, but this is just mind blowing.

[CalTran]

That is amazing. Your bot is just so darned compact. A few questions:
Good grief, how much spin are you putting on the discs??
What're the extra slanted white dashed lines on your field for?
Once you're at the top of the pyramid, is it possible for you to score colored discs?

That's an ingenious method of changing the angle of the shot. Have you found the wobble to be anything of concern?

[dcarr]

It does everything. It looks stunning.

+1 for Macklemore.

Well, Ultimate Ascent's a solved game now. Everybody can go home.

Nice robot, I really like it even if its cube shape reminds me of a printer.

I just watched the Endeavor video from Rebound Rumble earlier today and still enjoyed it tremendously. Apex is even better. I can't wait to see it at Lone Star.

My boys got out of bed to watch the video when they heard me describing it to my wife.

[Kusha]

No words. I am at a loss on how to express my feelings for this video. Simply amazing.

[Jonathan Norris]

WOW... What?? How did they do that?? How does that even all fit??

Simply incredible.

Edit: Ohh and GREAT Song choice.

Awesome robot, but everyone on here appears to have turned into surrender monkeys...

See you guys at SVR. Should be one of (if not the best) events of the year.

[sgreco]

There are some teams that impress me because I see their robot every year and I think "wow, why didn't I think of that?"

...Then there's the Robonauts. Every year I think "jeez you could give me 20 years and I still would have never thought of that."

Great looking robot! Good luck!

[pmangels17]

We always have a "Why didn't we think of that?" moment. And this is it for me. Also, those LED's are "dope" (Will.I.Am) and Macklemore just tops it off for me. Good luck this year, I am stunned.
