Speed Limit 45? Baker that is waaayy to slow for this game! 
I'd tell you it's a nice looking robot but it looks like you've prepared it for a little rain! Care to share some real pics?
See you at the comps!

Re: pic: Team 45 and their robot.
A few members from team 45 made it over to Muncie for a 6-team scrimmage last Sunday. We transported our robot, "ham tray", in the back of my truck. Since it was raining, we made a tarp and saran wrap cocoon for it. This picture was taken at the end of the day, as we were ready to leave.
The rest of the team was home in Kokomo, either working on the backup robot or resting from a long day on Saturday.
Thanks to team 1720, PhyXt Gears, for hosting a great event.

Ham Tray? Is this a pig farmer thing or a pig latin thing?

If the TechnoKats have a ham tray in their pit, I believe several volunteers will be stopping by for a visit.

nice robot. Hope it works well for you, although the colors clash with the shirts.
Care to post any of the specs?

Where was this product in 2005? 116 could have used it at a certain offseason event.

Psst....Andy and team 45, you guys didn't get the memo that it's not a water game this year
. Sorry I couldn't resist and I'm surprised nobody beat me to it. I'm sure whatever is under that tarp is a high quality Technokat machine Good Luck!

The shirts say "Ft/S" also you just can't see it =].
"Ham Tray" comes from and Andy Baker story. When we were deciding on the design of our robot Andy decided to tell us a college story. He talked about how he was in a Frat and the meetings always lasted way longer than what they should. If I remeber right there was a guy that was in charge of punlic affairs or something like that, and he went on and one about a ham tray at one of the meetings. After that any time someone wanted to stop a certain discussion in the metting, they said "Ham Tray" and that was the end of it. After Baker told us this story we started using it during our meetings. When we were trying to come up with a robot name that somehow snuck its way onto the board of ideas, and it won.

Andy were you at Muncie and I missed you? I kept thinking when i was driving... "Don't hit andy... don't hit andy... bad luck if your own transmissions run in to their creator..."
You're guys robot is SO awesome! Love the concept!
I remember we were watching your gripper-go-round (as our team dubbed it) and had trouble concentrating on what we were doing. (Not that that would be a strategy... 
)

It reminds me of Mission Mayhem at the Fort Lauderdale, FL Science Museum in 2005. I had to do something similar to get the robot back to Jupiter, FL. Hurricane Dean was off the Tampa coast.

Re: pic: Team 45 and their robot.
OK, so I was asked to explain what "Ham Tray" means. To make a VERY long story short, when Andy was in college, the term was used at meetings to prevent people from going into tangents and/or over explaining something. When this would happen, a person would raise their had, say "hamtray" and then the meeting would continue with what was next. So this year, Andy noticed that we would go into many different tangents with pointless discussions, so he introduced "hamtray" to us. Fast forward to the last meeting before ship, and we were deciding on what to call the robot. Someone began to go off on a tangent, so I called a "hamtray" to make the very long meeting hurry up. From that point, we decided to add it to the potential names on the board, and it ended up winning. So in other words, it is an inside joke.
P.S. As a team decision, you will have to wait for a while until some real specs and pics are posted. For some, this will come at St. Louis. For everyone else, it will be just a little bit after that. For now, treat this picture as a game hint! : )

Re: pic: Team 45 and their robot.
Come to think of it, their robot reminds me of their team trailer at IRI a year or two ago!! Is that where the saran wrap came from? And would it be a legal defensive maneuver to saran wrap your opponents together on the field??
Hmmmm...

I'm a mentor on Team 1720 (the team who hosted the event), and let me tell you, 45's robot is awesome!
As was every team who came to the practice invitational. You all were great! And it was a lot of fun.
(Ever see Andy Baker do a belly roll over four trackballs? I have... )
