Re: 2009 ThunderChicken Robot
I for one am suitably impressed. This looks like the sort of simple and effective design I've come to associate with the Thunderchickens, and I'm willing to bet they will do quite well. Good luck, and hopefully we'll get the chance to work together again this year.

Paul, you may have fooled some of them, but I have proof this is fake. To quote you from another thread:

Re: 2009 ThunderChicken Robot
Wow. If this 217's real robot I am a bit disappointed... But at the same time I'm excited to see how they put the design into use on the field.
If it's not the real robot then this is by far the funnest teaser thread that I can remember. Quote:

Re: 2009 ThunderChicken Robot
Why? It's not the most complex robot in the world, but it probably works really well. 217 had a traction control system running just 4 days after kickoff, so they probably have that perfected and a lot of drive time. The CIM-powered pickup is probably really fast and efficient. I don't know how accurate the dump is, but it's unlikely to jam. I predict they'll be driving (often literal) circles around their opponents collecting tons of balls really fast, and then use their tcs to quickly pin someone for a dump and go back to collecting.

Re: 2009 ThunderChicken Robot
Guys, let's hope that's their real robot, ok? 20 balls in 2.5 seconds is crazy enough without all the fantastic extras they may have!

Re: 2009 ThunderChicken Robot
Any excuse to post this link is a good one:

Imagine if a team has all the equipment in the world but no one trained to use it. You know, those CNC machines sure do look spiffy, they are pretty intimidating, but I would be willing to bet you good money that a single skilled machinist and a good engineer can put together a better robot than that team. Personally I would prefer to see 217 put out a functionally awesome robot over a aesthetically awesome robot. That being said, I too call hoax, Paul said it would be shown when it was done, well we all know that these robots are NEVER done. |
