Let’s just say that you will see some similarities between their robot design last year and this year.

So, the first thing I see when open up CD this morning is "pic: Team 254 Teaser". I almost jumped out of my chair in excitement. Then all I see is your 2004 robot. That definitely was a "tease".

P.S. Man, that 2004 robot was gorgeous. A work of art.

Was that your 2004 chassis? Most teams tried to make bots that could climb, and unless there is something I am not seeing that one could not. I do love the colors though. Makes it look very nice.

They didn't need to be on the platform last yr to hang, but that's in the past the real question is what is going on with this teaser....I guess this means they are taking some ideas from last yr and applying them to this year, but 254 I don't think ball herding will be useful this yr....

Didn't have to climb. They could hang from the floor.

You can find some pictures of Team 60 using their arm to boost themselves onto the platform though, so they were able to if they absolutely had to for some reason.

Great bot... probably one of the top 5 robots in 2004, in my opinion. for this year, just slap a tetra hook on it and you are good to go. We all should be scared.

russell - Many teams did not need to climb up onto the platform to do well last year.

Re: pic: Team 254 Teaser

What? The 2004 robot? Naw, you guys have it all wrong! This IS their 2005 robot!

Simply because it is identical to last year's model doesn't mean it couldn't play this year's game... In fact, I bet this 'bot would do very, very well in Triple Play - without any modification.

We went up against 'em last year. Andy is dead on - we should all be scared!

Great robot - can't wait to see what you've come up with this year!

Re: pic: Team 254 Teaser

from the pic... i could not see any drill motors... which means they could have cleaned out thier old bot, put in thier new drive train, taken off the hook from last year *which is no long there* and they have a 2005 bot ...

same with 45, where all they needed to do was change thier claw and they could use it for 2005... this was the case with many a teams...

Re: pic: Team 254 Teaser

Actually .. the drill is still on there. Zoom in and look behind the compressor. Not to mention, the wings are still there, and it was taken with the 2004 field. Either theyre behind .. or thats an early picture.

Re: pic: Team 254 Teaser

One small problem...what about the change in the robot size this year?

Re: pic: Team 254 Teaser

As long as it is merely modeled and every piece is reproduced then ya it would otherwise they'd have to consult rule <R11>, but I doubt this is their 2005 bot neways just a "teaser"
