This is probably the most elegant design I've seen so far. Let's see if it can beat out that awesome 118 video!

It looks really top heavy!!! Are you able to make it up the ramp? And how many balls can you hold? I looks like about 5 or so.

Great looking design, I like the way you change the aiming position with the motor. I am looking forward to seeing this robot at some competiton, maybe at the Championship.

Always looking good Rage

I am shocked... ...SHOCKED!!!!

...Rage is going with a 6WD, red wooden chassis again this year ;-)

If it ain't broke don't fix it! Right Rage?

The rest of your robot looks pretty cool.

Does the shooter aim itself based on the camera & servo? I would expect so.

Great work. I look forward to a lot of high scoring Rage Matches*.

Actually we did make one change this year, its stained instead of painted. It looks really nice stained, we finally got some awesome plywood with very few imperfections on it.

The secret to RAGE success is not in the machine. Its in the motivated, enthusiastic people. These guys are gamers!!

Nice Machine.

Go RAGE!!! Can't wait to see you folks in Philly.

Re: pic: Rage getting ready

how does it keep the balls on the conveyor going up without a pinch plate?

Why do you use the AndyMark planetary and custom gearbox instead of a Dewalt XRP transmission?

Its a cable chain with 3/16 plastic wisker poles spread apart by 4inches.

No squeeze needed.

Re: pic: Rage getting ready

Yeah...
Usually I'm pretty good at looking at teasers, and figuring out what teams are going to do. This one just totally confuses me though...

Where the heck are they gonna mount the arm, and what is the rest of that stuff doing mounted on there?

Hey John good hearing from you.
At least I got some cable chain in there. LOL
Its to bad we couldn't get the turret in there. Had to scrap the design 2 weeks in for weight.

Re: pic: Rage getting ready

nice bot. too bad you aren't turreting, that would have been sick. My question is, how are you going to be able to take advantage of the repeatability your shooter had in your original teaser video with a feed system like that? Or is this shooter a different one all together?

Re: pic: Rage getting ready

Hi Rage,

Nice robot! It sure looks familiar to me, based on the one I have been staring at over the last few weeks. We will have much in common in Hartford!

I hope you are farther along than we are!

See you in a few weeks!

Looks like a robot from NJ! I believe it was 486. They were the Postionic Pathers

Re: pic: Rage getting ready

It's also not too different from our's(180 S.P.A.M.)... The shooter isn't too dissimilar.

In fact, that's very close to our shooter design.

Re: pic: Rage getting ready

Again, very nice job. I wish you guys made it down from UTC like 181 did. Can you guys harvest balls from the ground at all? Are you more of a long or short range shooter? Does it perform anywhere near that of 181's shooter (that I saw at Chesapeakes)
