Care to explain your mechanism or post a picture or two?

Is this 150 real pounds or 150 theoritical pounds?

*the kid only weighs 90 pounds, so what makes you thing it's photoshop?

He looks like he would have to be in a very uncomfortable position to have his body like that in a bin. If your bot is on than you have a very stupid member of your team in the red shirt not wearing his saftey glasses. Should be common sense and common practice to have glasses on whenever a robot is on around you, especially that close.

I once fit one of my friends into his backpack Freshmen year. Then there's Mike on my team's plane flight home from the 2001 Championship Event. I'm convinced that people can fit anywhere, in any orientation .

<edit>
Mike is 6'3" if not taller.

That guy is wearing safety glasses. And youd be surprised, it isnt common practice to wear safety glasses to many people.

Hey...didn't your bins come with a "Don't put people in here" sticker on them like ours did?

If you plce the jpeg into photoshop and zoom in, you can see the apparent pixel line at the top of the bin and around his face. Good use of photoshop though.

Sorry, I wrote my post wrong, they guy in the greenish shirt is the one I was pointing my finger at. With the glasses on top of his head. Also, I said it should be common practice to wear them, not that it is

Here's the thing guys...I'm a photoshop man, spent the last 2 years revolving around it.

Bottom line: this is photoshoped. The kid was never in the bin.

Well, neither of these statements are true...

1) It was done using "gimp" or something like that (not my doing)

2) The kid really did fit in the bin like that. We took one picture of him in the bin, then one with the lifter up.

The kid's small, and he really did fit in the bin like that...

Re: Picture

That explains why you don't look like u were never in the bin.

What is gimp? I've never heard of it.

gimp is an open source graphics package...somewhat comparable to photoshop.

it's pretty nice...takes time to get used to, but after you do you find you can do many things quicker in there than in photoshop.

it's free, and is available for any OS that can run GTK+ (linux, bsd, windows, and OSX are examples...).

www.gimp.org <- download it from there

Gimp

As my name describes i use unix, specifically Linux. Gimp is a photo editing program with the same idea as photoshop, except better I was actually in a box in the photo, but i took myself out of the left hand side of the box on the table, and put it on the right hand side of the box in the robot's controll.
