Here's a shot of ROBBE Xtreme posing before yesterday's practice session. He's almost finished mechanically, but still a lot of programming to go on the auto modes.

Very nice looking robot, I'm curious as to how you grab the tetras with your arm.

Kelvin Ngthe hook at the back flips out and hooks onto the tetra while the brass thing keeps the tetra aligned? my best guess. sexy bot.

looks awesome! good luck |

jfischerROBBE will be appearing at the Sacramento, NJ and Philly regionals. Looking forward to getting started with the competitions.
The arm/gripper does have several functions. I'll explain the design after the ship date.

very good job 56 always amaze me. bravo
couple questions.
what is your drive train and do you have casters(thought i saw a caster)?
how does it work?
is your driver in the top shape to handle that beast?

jfischerThe drive train is 4WD using 8" pneumatic go-kart racing slicks. The drive wheels are located in the front and center positions. We put casters in the back to improve the turning radius and help get out of tight places. It provides a good balance of speed (8 fps) and maneuverability. It's actually easier to driver than last years model.
By the way how is 303 coming along.

jfischerROBBE weighed in at 117 lbs. without the battery. This maybe the first year we don't spend the last weekend drilling holes.

MikeA56Jerry,
You've always been a showoff, haven't you?
Just Kidding, This must be a first for our team not to drill holes last minute!
