Aside from the "wow!" of the robot(s), it's neat how the colors in the picture perfectly match the colors of the forum. What a coincidence!

Not really a coincidence CD runs the forum, so it uses their colors (orange, black). They use their team colors for their robots, too.

One of those robots says 'OCCRA' on it (the local off-season robotics league)

This year's robot is UNDER the two you see. The two you see are the ones from OCCRA and 2006, respectively.

Incidently - MARVOLOUS ramps. I like the two stage deployment. That plastic looks IMPOSSIBLE to cut through .

Re: pic: Bots on Bots CD 47

awesome.

I'm curous about your ramps.. how do you fold the wings out after you drop the platform? How much does the ramp setup weigh?

They are unlatched by a servo, sprung out, and then rotated by the 2 globe motors, one on each side. They are close to 16.5 lbs for each assembly motor and all included.

Very Nice, a little early for 47 to be showing their stuff???

None the less, as usual, I am impressed, and I suspect it will get better as the season progresses......

The manipulator is a bucket split in half with a rack and pinion that opens and closes it. It is a pretty unique unit and hey it works really well.

Yeah it is very unique, and difficult to put together, but it was well worth it...

Re: pic: Bots on Bots CD 47

oh i didnt see the small one underneath. i just saw the tow big ones and they looked like they could do the task, therefore i assumed that those were competition bots for this year. it is very nice.
