In short the HOTBOT will hang a keeper, hangs ringers at all levels, and can lift two robots to a height of more than 12 inches. We will post a video tomorrow afternoon.

That is an incredible robot! It looks like a ton of thought went into every little part of it. I will be shocked if you don't outperform almost every other bot on the field!

Re: pic: 2007 HOTBOT
From the other picture you guys posted, it looks like you guys are going under robots and picking them up. Do you think teams will like that?
Very nice bot. I like the arm. Can't wait to see it in action in person.

Definitly an great looking bot (as exspected from 67) but, call me old fashioned, but I'm missing the days of your old drive train set up, where you'd start a match on your back end, then fall forward, to me that's always been the signature of HOTBOT. Though I can understand why with the last few you've drifted away form it.
Nice job guys!

We didn't do a flopbot because we couldn't figure what do do with the flag when we flopped! Just kidding. We felt that the game this year didn't require the extra stability that the flopbot gave us. I hope we are right.

Looks great. Just out of curiosity, how close are you to the 72x72 limit?

R12 Once the match has started, the ROBOT may assume a PLAYING CONFIGURATION that exceeds the size dimensions specified in Rule <R07>. While outside of its HOME ZONE, a ROBOT may expand up to a maximum width of 72 inches and depth of 72 inches. While entirely inside of its own HOME ZONE, there is no limit to the maximum width or depth of the ROBOT, as long as it remains entirely within the HOME ZONE. There are no height limits for a ROBOT in its PLAYING CONFIGURATION at any time after the start of the match (other than those naturally created by the ceiling height of the competition venue). |
Yes we lift under the robots. This is something we put a lot of thought into. Our "racks" are 16" wide and 1" tall, and lift to a height 16" off the ground, which allows for robots to have up to 4" of ground clearnace. Our lifts can safely lift all our previous robots without fear of damaging them. We were originally planning to have a drive-on platform on the top of these lifts. After much consideration, we felt all-in-all this was a safer way to lift other robots. They're much less sensitive to the positioning of the robot (wheels hanging off the edge and whatnot) and it prevents robots from rolling off while being lifted. Hopefully we can work with our partners before the match to ensure we can lift them without fear of damaging their robot.

Many people may not be aware but last year it was against the rules to "flop".

Looks interesting, and can't wait to see the videos. Your arm looks simple; is it as easy to pick up the tubes as it appears???

Can it reach all three levels of the rack? It sure looks like it can with ease. Good job, too. Looks Great!

Re: pic: 2007 HOTBOT
| It's kind of funny how people have associated what we call the "flop" with our team. We only did this for 2 years of the 10 or so that we've been building robots, and those two machines couldn't have been more different drivetrain wise. |
The new one looks great by the way.

Wow, I love it.
That CMU camera mount is great! A very small feature in all of them, but a great one at any rate. Great job design team! Can't wait to see it in action at GLR and WMR!

yeah i was in charge of the camera and adam did the mounting, he said it makes the robot look about one hundred times better

Gosh, I wish our team had mentors like Jim, Dave, Tom, Kenny, Lori, Rodney, and everyone else that devotes so much time to your team! :0 your robot is too good!!! If anyone sees this tell the people listed that there robot is amazing, and tell them that Mason (Mikes Kid) says that the robot is increadable!

Thank you all for your kind thoughts and words.
A lot of work, as usual, has gone into this year's robot.
See you all in competition and may the best robot win!

There haven't been too many flopper bots in the game, but I know of two of them that were on national championship aliances. Ours in '05, and Beatty's in... I believe that was '03. You know the one that grabbed all 3 goals and then used file cards on it's slow march across the field.

Good luck this year 67.... Good news... well maybe... I am the driver for team 548 and will hopefully be in alience with, or agenst 
team 67 for one or two of our matches, and hopefully will see them in the final rounds of Great Lakes. Good luck all, and see you at the competitions.

Wow, I just saw video from the great lakes regional and this machine looks like a beast. I especially love the lift system on it. I definitely will be watching out for the "Hotbot" in Atlanta. Good luck team 67!
