25's Completed Field Setup

[nparikh]

After many hours of toil, broken limbs, pain, and just plain 'ol exhaustion, Team 25 has completed its field setup in record time. We believe this will give us a 'ballin' advantage. Pictures included.

We're re-uploading the images to imageshack now. They should work when we get them up again.

Wow, that's hilarious

[Tetraman]

very nice!

Now do legos! haha

[Bethany Mc.]

Great job you guys! I am so proud of your work!!

now all you got to do is build your robot!

I like the creativeness.

FKL!!! (First K'Nex League)

[JBotAlan]

Very nice!

I was fooled by the thread title; you got me. When I saw it, I went, "What the..?"--our team is still getting supplies to build the field with; we haven't even started building yet.

Funny, we actually talked about making a K'Nex field today...now for the K'Nex robots! (I wonder why there isn't a microcontroller sold by makers of K'Nex; they could easily wipe LEGO out if they did it right)

I believe at one time they did have a robotics type thing, and although it wasn't all that great, it still was something. One thing I liked about the classic k'nex was that there was only so many pieces, and unlike legos, they didn't come out with special pieces for each new kit (not so in the later kits....)

If you look closely at the pictures, you'll notice that the orange rods are the ones from the roller coaster kit (the ones with the little things that make sure the track is always the same width).

Sorry to tell you- this field is not FIRST legal.

I've checked and K'NEX is not a preferred FIRST vendor.


Oh... just kidding. Nice Job!
I can imagine some cute animation with this field.
