Team 1124's new robot

[chatterboxx333]

it definetly looks like a stable bot, the herding idea to capture the ball looks good.

What vacuum in the KOP? I couldn't find one, and I did the inventory. It's not on the list either

Besides, I can generate a vacuum with nothing but the compressor, a solenoid, some storage tanks and two cylinders.

And I second the call of fake.

look at the robot, it looks like there is a ramp on it... Nice hoax. Its just last years robot with a hose stuck on it

If you were talking about our robot, it was very heavy duty. it is extremely reliable and can withstand almost anything. even though it is photoshopped it can withstain the pressure!

Yeah, imagine trying to play the game with a photo for a robot...

Thanks... on behalf of Erik. It's funny, because I watched him do it, and to me the part of the picture that looked photoshopped was the trackball attachment to the vacuum... and I KNEW that was real because I was there when they took the picture. It's just so round and shiny, it looks unreal.

That's nothing. 177 can already cap vision AND shoot all 10 balls accurately into the goal.

Shoot 10 balls accurately into the goal? That sounds more like your 2006 bot when we played defense for you at the NE regional...

can you also cap 4 ringers in a single autonomous mode? in addition to chasing a rabbit and buttering my toast?

hahaha... ok back to java

[Ben_pharteen]

The part that looks like a ramp is for herding the ball and picking it up so the vacuum device can pick up the ball. There's a slight problem, because the vacuum is so powerful it lifts our ramp lifter up, so we're going to need some tweaking before we get it right... but we still have six weeks for that.

my team hasnt even set on an idea yet (let alone read the manual )

We start reading the manual as soon as it is released; we have a team who starts picking out important rules and letting everyone designing the robot know about them.
