It reads FRC 340 I believe. A new cart with a license plate? That or they made a new shooter.

Rees needs to post a picture because I left the pictures of the ROBOT in his camera. I'll give you a hint, the robot looks something like this including me!

Not to be rude Matt, but has anyone ever told you that you are really good at making people crazy? Just enough information to make imaginations go nuts.

Re: pic: 340 Ruckus Teaser

I have been told that I am good at that. I apoligize. I will explain it here, and you will have to wait until Rees posts a picture to see what it actually looks like.

We have two teams this year. This presented a problem for the Ruckus because we only had one robot from the previous year. So, we gave the rookie team our robot (which they modified) and the veterans built a new one. The students thought that it would be a cool idea to use a Power Wheels car as the body because it would look sweet . We went out looking for one, and I found one at a garage sale. To make a long story short, the students took the Power Wheels car and turned it into a Jeep harvester bot with a two speed .

Now that is simply awesome, and original too. What was the Power Wheels car reinforced with?

Thank you for the explanation, Matt.

You will see when the picture is submitted that there is a aluminum sub frame underneath the body with a 6-wheel drive AndyMark two speed on it with IFI wheels. The original wheels were kept on for good looks .

i believe that would be a piece of diamond plate steel with the reflection of a 95' - 01' Ford Mustang that has a New York license plate on it
