Coolest thing on your bot??

[BT987]

the worm gears to raise the arm or.....the dong!

I would have to say besides our drivesystem, it would defintely be the kicker underneath the claw that we used to kick the ball foward over the overpass, it was shaped like a high heel and was just a comical/cool looking part of the robot.

The coolest thing on our robot was the IR Control. We had the most powerful IR system in the world on our robot. We had complete control over the robots direction during hybrid and could consitanly get 4 Lines and sometimes a ball.

One of the coolest things is probably not on the robot itself. Our IR controller was a hardhat with 24 led lights on the front. The hat then ran down to the control box and a nine volt battery.
The coolest things technically on our robot may have been the big yellow 'banana' arms, because they were made to be replaced every 2 matches, but we found out that when they bent, we could just bend them back, so we got a good few matches out of each set of arms. Or maybe our coaches old WOBOT license plate.

I would have to say our hoop. Not only did it win us the Xerox Creativity Award at the Buckeye, I used it to get out of a tight situation in one match. Because the robot has simple center-wheel drive, it can get stuck if one or both of the center wheels is/are lifted off the ground. When this happened on one of the plates stabilizing the overpass, I was able to use the hoop to push against the lane divider and move the robot back onto the track.

It also ended up being much stronger than we expected. See for yourself.

I would have to choose either between the mecanum wheels that we tried out this year or our line sensor that could sense the taped lines on the field that we used for hybrid

Perhaps not the most technically oriented, but the coolest feature on 2337's robot was our hammer!

I really don't think anything on our robot is that cool or amazing; It was all pretty simple and mostly inspired by other teams.

If anything I'd say the 167:1 Gearbox for two FPs and a 550 made from nearly entirely AM products (except for one plate).

2" bore, 24" Pneumatic Cylinder... it was our ball removal solution. On the first day of Waterloo, many teams offered us assistance just because they wanted to see it fire before the day was out.

any pics or vids of that cylinder in action???

The coolest thing on the 467 bot this year was the unibody chassis design,
no frame was used at all, as the skin supported the weight of the bot.

Wow 2106 that is the coolest manipulator ever.

Wow 467 that is the not only a really sweet skin, but an awesome paint job.

Nice work everyone for sweet designs.

I'm going to say RUSH's coolest feature was our harvester just because the tubes looked really sweet with lightening holes especially when they were spinning with their rubber coating...Not so much now though that they're covered in double sided tape because the rubber wasn't working so well by Atlanta. I'll get a picture from build season and post a link later.
