Go to Post One last thing, if a mechanical part fails on you, sometimes you can get a little bit of noise back into it by yelling at it, kicking it, or pounding on it with your fist. This might put enough back into it so it will work for a few more minutes. - KenWittlief [more]

Haha. *displays broken piece of what used to be a metal file card*

We have two parts of MOE from last year: that file card...and there's some MOE green paint on our frame.

Can't wait to see you guys in action at the Championship.

Hahaha!!! no more bent aluminum

i would have to agree with both ducky and joe... and i definitely think that creaking aluminum is a bad idea, coming from someone who hacksawed about 15 new sets of wings at each competition. all i need is a red marker, a piece of U channel and a hacksaw... anyway, i can't wait to see these new wings in action, good luck guys!

After watching the previous regionals, just looking at that robot makes me think of all the tall bots that toppled... and even the short ones that flipped.

I agree, tipping is potentially a problem, but there is a reasion this robot is called GeroniMOE, not Tippy the Wonder MOEbot (yes - it was on the list of potential names). Although it is quite possible GeroniMOE will be tipped, we have worked very hard to make it as difficult as possible to take down GeroniMOE.

Keep an eye out for the Miracle Workerz at the Chesapeake Regional, Philadelphia Alliance Regional, and the National Championship Competition!

Go GeroniMOE!

Yup.
I have a feeling that this one is going to end up getting shoved over like so many of the other tall bots tend to.
This was a very good year to be very short (like 1126 Sparx).

I see much lack of faith, there's such things as wheelie bars and self-righters (like 384) I would be surprised if MOE didn't have something like that, or perhaps they are just really bottom heavy.

Wow

I saw you guys on the NASA channel... and all I can say is Wow. In the match I think you guys stacked 6 and we're about to stack 7. It looked like something came loose, but it was amazing. I loved the little poker in the front! Can't wait to see you guys at nationals.

-From a member of a team with a fellow stacking bot.

GO STACKERS!

Definitely awesome. You guys had it all. The maneuverability, stacking was excellent. That little bin poker works great, 73 has the same thing. Your 2 bots seem like they were designed together. I wonder if more stacker's will mount those little articulators instead of cutting off there stack gizmos, now that they've seen how it's done. Congrats, I'd love to have you guys as an alliance.

Yeah, I agree with swampdude. STACKERS RULE.
I just wish people won't so worried about trying to compete. I don't careso much if we win, I just want to stack. I watch the Miracle Workerz and their wonderbot today. Great job guys. Stacking make the game interesting.

what a name. GERONIMOE....... You guys did a very nice job getting up to the finals. Really lived up to your name, The Miracle Workerz, coming from behind in all those matches. Very kewl looking robo, just sucks that it tips over every other match. No robot tipped as many times as you all did, but then again, everyteam pretty much went after you, tyring to push you over.

When we played you guys, we had found a way to beat your autonomous, and it worked. Since that match on, all the teams put it in stone writing and did it too. Unfortunately we still lost our match, you guys popped our teamates tread off. DOH.... we couldnt handle the 2 vs 1.

See you guys at Nationals
