Re: pic: 233 Pink Roccobot 2k9

Pink you continue to astonish YEAR after YEAR.

This looks like a serious piece of engineering. I can't wait to check this thing out in Atlanta. Kudos again on what looks to be another great robot.

Any videos???

Also just curious...how much sheet aluminum do you guys go through?
We use a lot of sheet metal and box tubing, but we focus a lot on using as much scrap as possible, that means jetting out every little plate on left overs as often as possible, and using scraps that are up to 6 years old.

Looks like another amazing bot from 233!! hope to see you in Atlanta!
oh...are the bumpers at least pink?
Those two questions are connected.
The reason we have modified our original design is so that we can actually shoot almost directly behind us. The hopper originally limited us to aprox 180 degrees, we should have aprox 270 degrees after this modification.

We will still have a hopper, just not as dominating of one.
