looks pretty awesome guys. love the always prevalent tye dye theme. really unique shape and chassis among any that have been posted on CD so far!

[Hinkel Y.]

Your bot looks sweet! Again, your team never dissapoints me... Good luck on your competitions!

[Austin]

Awesome robot. Amazing machining, as always. You guys never fail to impress me.

What kind of ground clearance do you have? .5"? Looks super low, very good idea!

[Frank L.]

You guys have done it again...great looking bot. Hope to have the chance alliance with you someday, rather than against...Either way...always a lot of fun and exciting. Good luck in the regionals. See you at Nats.

One of their team engineers was down in FL last week and he was telling us about the robot. I was scared before, but now that I have seen the pic, im in near shock.

Awesome bot wildstang, once again. We will be seeing you at Midwest again, good luck. Hopefully we can both make it to the finals again and maybe pair up this time. See you at Northwestern.

Nice clean look guys. Very impresed every year. Can't wait to see her in action at Nats.

Odds are, they sense the beacon, pluck the 10pt ball off the pipe, grab the goal, take 10pt ball to human player while using their sides as flaps to herd balls, use same grabber arm to pluck the 2x ball off goal, release goal, use other arm to go hang on bar with 2x ball in hand - all during autonomous mode. The truss of the hanging arm allows it to pivot while hanging to decide which tall goal to place the 2x ball. Same drive system as last year which is very effective at hearding balls if it doesn't find the 2x ball on the goal during autonomous mode.

yes Wildstangs bot does go up the ramp...

[Tytus Gerrish]

[JVN]

Looks great guys!
Really impressive as usual.

Ya know Mike, for a full robot reveal this picture sure lacks detail.

Can't wait to see it in action, and find out what it's really capable of.


So... one national champ down. Two to go...
Let's see something from 65 and 469!

Time to answer some questions

Is it safe to assume that there is a swerve drive system under the side panels?

Pretty good assumption.

I see that there is a seat motor out on the end of the arm. Is this for "rolling" the balls into a gripper?

Two for two. Baker is on a roll.

does it go up the platform?

Wait for the video

What kind of ground clearance do you have? .5"?

I don't know the exact number, but it's close to that.

Ya know Mike, for a full robot reveal this picture sure lacks detail.

Wait for the video wise guy

I agree. Any pictures Ken?

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. It's fun to see everyone get excited about our bot. Now lets see other teams' pictures.

Wildstangs have done it again!

Wow, I think this will be a force to be reckoned with - just like last year! I will definitely be stopping by your pits again to talk at GLR. I cannot wait to see video of your machine, but I am definitely expecting some surprises. I must admit that I was a bit suprised that I saw pneumatics on this year's machine, I believe you only used a cylinder last year for your "skid mode" for driving. By the way, nice looking field.

You know what they say about them Wildstang machines....

Since you can't beat 'em, you better join 'em!

Good luck this upcoming season and make sure to stop by 302's pit some time on Thursday at GLR!
