 Inventions are not built using premade parts. People come up with new ideas, from different angles and with renewed enthusiasm. Playing the game is fun, building and designing is inspirational. - Steve W [more] |

Here's an ok picture of our 2007 bot. More importantly here's a link to see it in action. We have pretty much decided to call it Gator Chomp for obvious reasons.

That's exactly how I wanted to build this year's robot, right from day one. And all I got from people on my team was blank stares when I said telescoping arm. (Admittedly I couldn't find any pictures of a 2005 bot with this general design [team 68 maybe?]. And they were set on the ramp that we never made.
It's ridiculously easy to operate, isn't it?
Congratz!

it reaches well over 96 inches and yes its pretty smooth but the tilt has so much torque and speed that we had to damp it by 4
And just in case you want to see the video copy and paste this link

I edited that first post twice, since the first time i lost my changes. But I left out the word "certain" (a certain team) the second time.
The team was at the Western Michigan regional and quite possibly won it. That's all I remember 
And it was a 60s team.

I designed it hoping to achieve something similar to pink's '04 and '05 bot. I think I got it pretty close. all we need now is some practice driving it and there wont be much in the way of stopping us.
some quick specs:
drivetrain:
4x6 wheel drive
4 CIMs
2 speed (5 fps / 11 fps) mechanical shift
arm (telescoping):
full extension of ~90 inches in about 1.5 seconds
tube manipulator:
fully mechanical, spring closed
