This is Capital Robotics' 2007 robot, currently unnamed. Drive is 6WD with AndyMarks using big and small CIMs, geared for a cruising speed and a ludicrous speed--sort of a mix of 1293's drive system from last year with some 179/1889/1902 thrown in. Not the most innovative, but it gets the job done. The arm is two-jointed; the first stage is a CIM geared down through sprockets and a BaneBots, while the second stage is a window motor. The arm is designed to make it physically impossible to exceed the 72" envelope, provided the arm stays on the front side of the robot. The end effector was inspired by 125's from the Winter War Zone footage, while the material choice is, obviously, inspired by 71. It might be a bit too fast; we'll see come Palmetto.
