You might have a hard time getting up the step with the saw there. I think dewalt would win. It would be a good match though. j/k lol. Nice robot though. It just looks really cool, especially that control box. Good job team.

That is awesome! Is that independent suspension? It reminds me of the Mars rovers. That plow looks real good too.

I think they were showing the "mysterius" black box... which is most likely empty... or evil

Re: pic: Team 356 Black Box - Part 2b

that robot is definatly a a new one, and the other "robot" that you see in the background appears to be a ball collection device.

Re: pic: Team 356 Black Box - Part 2b

i no wat the black box does, it sends out a signal to disable all the other robots and then a rele low frequency sound to have elephants come and step on all the other robots. the plow is there to push the remains of the robots off the field and the suspension is so it jus has a smooth ride over a dead robot parts.....hahaha jkjk

it looks rele nice guys. great job, but wat is that suspension for

We'll post pix of our bar grabbing and climbing device tomorrow.

We also have a secret weapon which will allow us to manipulate the balls in an interesting fashion (weight allowing).

Its a "gyro"/Yaw rate sensor that was created by the team. I give this team a huge hand and commendment for coming up with a team designed use and actual yaw rate sensr this year.

Kevin Karan

Re: pic: Team 356 Black Box - Part 2b

Oh, you MADE one. Im guessing to keep the cost down. We were going to go with an old first yaw/rate on our bot, but we made an accelorometer for under $10, then we decided that there was no reason to use it... Are you using it for ajusting your "legs" while climbing?

Re: pic: Team 356 Black Box - Part 2b

Does the mysterious black box contain a board with a MEMS yaw rate sensor, or is there an actual homemade sensor in there?

I took one look at that picture and realized that that robot looked very familiar. I went to my pics that I took at the St. Louis regional and found your robot and found out why it looks familiar. It is very similar to last year's robot but this year's isn't purple. You must have liked that design.

Re: pic: Team 356 Black Box - Part 2b

Yes, it bears a strong resemblance to our last robot (The Velvet Fog), but this one has more suspension (obvious reasons). Actually, it has more of just about everything.
