Team 121 Teaser Video

[Jonathan Norris]

Great job guys, always loved your bots simplicity and great control over the game piece in 04', 07', and this year you guys have mastered the roller claw system to control the game piece. Very very nice.

Here's our mockup, followed closely by our current machine:

The transformation between the two took ~2 weeks.

that last video is pretty funny and o so true

[=Martin=Taylor=]

What material did you use on the rollers to grip the ball?

Nice Claw

[Billfred]

That warmth you feel from the south is my glare of admiring envy. I will be quite interested in seeing this one.

You guys did an absolutely awesome job.

[EEliteDefender]

Good job I hope ours turns out like yours we only have our chassis done.

zomg that's the coolest thing i've seen since the end of last season. you've inspired me to go work on my teams 'bot. *Dustin Rushes out the Door Just To Realize That It's Cold And Dark Outside and No-one Works on Sunday*

[Arefin Bari]

I feel like I attended team 121's design meetings after the kickoff.

[team2061]

mind if our team "borrows" some of your ideas. i promise to return them.lol
our bot sucks compared to this. Great Job

Its a very Rhode Warrior Robot,

Looks great and they still have over two weeks left, how is that fair to the rest of us?

Apparently when you take a great New England Team, add motivation, a large ball, and a Midwestern refugee this is the result.

What out BAE regional,

Best of luck guys


PS: Guess i don't know what the secret weapon is, but i bet if it can be wedge shaped it is.

Oh how we would love to do that. We had a great idea for one, the other day.... Darn 10 degrees from vertical rule....

First off, finally a teaser on CD that actually piques my curiosity. It's a nice change from all the kit and COTS items people have been "teasing" us with.

I'm very impressed by this video. Getting a robot to this stage in only 3 weeks is a huge feat. With 3 weeks of practice and tweaking time, there's no doubt in my mind the Rhode Warriors are going to be a force again in 2008.

whats you ground clearance? looks extremely low i just wanna make sure you aware of the half inch bump in the the field.

sweet manipulator, should be pretty quick to grab that ball. As far as hurdling speed goes i think this'll be one of the fastest arm types second only to the shooters.

go shooters!
