 Their robot moves so fast that it changes colour due to the Dopler Effect. By rapidly alternating between driving away from the viewer (Redshift) and driving toward the viewer (Blueshift), they can make the viewer see it in their traditional purple colour. - philso [more] |

Meet our 2006 robot. The 'Scorpion'. Not quite finished, but almost. We will be able to score both 1 and 3 point goals.

Wow...that is really awesome.
Good to see the rivets are back! And I love the battery placement.

Incredible product, once again! I, too, am glad to see that the rivets are back - you guys really do a fantastic job of building a robot that transcends the bounds of form and function

oooohhhh, shiny...
no, seriously. Looks really solid. What kind of drive configuration do you have? It looks really awesome...keep up the good work!

| What kind of drive configuration do you have? |
The back four are all driven. Of the two pair, in back, the two front ones only make contact on the ramp. They have a single strip on conveyor material on them so we get more weight on wheels. They are also 1/4 of an inch off the floor when on flat ground.
The trannies are a two speed configuration we had last year. They are shift on the fly.
The gold trough sticking out the front is for practicing shooting. We will have a chute to bring the ball from the magazine to the shooting wheels.
We are using two large Cim's for the shooter. We can get the correct distance with only one Cim if we have too.
The robots name is 'Scorpion'

It might be because of last year's robot.

Cause we did the same thing this year. Used Monocoque construction. It's 0.40 thick Gold Plated Aluminum. There is no "frame" per say, just channels. Like how an airplane fuselage is made.

We buy it from Sherman Racing. He is a race car body guy.
We got it for $75.00 for a 4 x 10 sheet.

I like how the ball collector looks like a magazine on a gun (even curved so the balls dispense faster). Very aesthetic. Make sure you polish it before competition!

Looks nice, but due to the nature of the compitition this year (hitting is allowed) that design seems EXTREMELY prone to being tipped.

Ooo. Pretty...
I'd show you a picture of our robot with all of it's parts on... if I had one.
They parts are all on, but none of them do anything We frantically put it together before Unveiling last night so we would have more than just a driving chassis.

The monocoque design is very light weight when you use .040" aluminum. There are going to be allot of bots with a high COG this year.
We practiced going up the ramp, a couple of days ago, with the battery in the middle of the bot. It went up the ramp on it's back four wheels. Didn't tip over. We plan on having the battery towards the front to get the front two wheels on the ramp.
