Ohhhhh myyyyyy gooooddd.....

[Cody Carey]

Wow, Impressive. That video was VERY well edited!

[Trample-Bot]

that thing looks beastly, and the driving looks insane... very, very impressive

[Lil' Lavery]

The single point of failure scares me too, but aside of that, I'm just scared of your robot.
I wasn't lucky enough to see your 2006 bot in person, but when I saw you guys in Denver (and for a little while at Championship) in 2005, it definitely left an impression. This has several features that reminds me of that bot, merged with a couple features that remind me of a design we didn't chose (but with a way to solve the issue we had with it). I'm definitely impressed again. Pity (assuming the process stays the same) we can't be in the same division in Atlanta.

Can someone please save the video and e-mail it to me at dan.hoizner@gmail.com .

My school does not let us get onto youtube, and I don't want to wait to get home to see this robot.

Thanks much,
Dan

Same as the above, can anyone post screens of the robot?

[Charger_07]

That thing looks even cooler than your robot last year....nice job

[Molten]

I would like to see some more pictures of the robot that truly show it's power.

As Travis said "SICK" ! I would like to see some better pictures of the drivetrain itself. 118 is defintely a team always striving to create something new they've done it again with that gearbox. Good luck Robonauts, may you go far in 07. Just for kicks and giggles who is the music in the video by?

Congrats to you all.

This is definetley going to be one formidable design to go against, considering you do not actually have to be pushing from just 2 sides, you can push from any point that the wheels are turned.

Also the simplicity of the gripper for the tubes is great. (will it work even if the tubes are deflated to half the normal size?)

From coolness and innovation point of view that is really awesome! Curious how it works, but I don't think it is very optimal. What are chances of all the motors spinning in sync? I know what you have there is living proof that it works great but if one or two motors start to fall behind and start generating current...


either way great work guys, nice and big team you got there
