I made an account just so I can say that that robot looks really really neat!

Pretty cool design. Looks like you collect the balls, then raise the collection platform to dumping height?


Interesting drive system also, very professional looking robot.

141 always delivers a new slant on the game. This year you didn't disappoint - big gray box! Balls go in box, magic happens, balls go in trailer! Genius!

I love the mystery of the design. I suggest you perpetuate the myth that the internals of your robot are actually a well trained monkey. If it doesn't work at any time you can just blame it on not giving the monkey enough bananas.

Really though it looks like you guys will be able to hold your own. You were fantastic last year and I'm sure you'll do well again this year.

That is until the monkey rips someones face off between matches.

Wow another Wonderful Wobot hopefully we will get a chance to work with you at West Michigan!

Can the balls be extracted safely from within the gray box when the robot is powered down at the end of a match?

How does it pick the balls up?

[Qbranch]

(I have to do this) Wo I love your Bot!

The door on the side for the balls make your robot look really slick.

Great maneuverability it looks like too. I agree... the opaque sides add some mystery, but from what I can see functionally, whatever's inside there was thought out pretty well!

Have fun this season,

Very cool!
But... no red paint? No hat/decorations?
