This is our robot on ship day. It just barely now fits within the 80 inches.

our bot was a two stage thing. We finished the frame and sent it out, but we got done with hand late so its not powder coated

Yeah, well we made up for it not being coated with tons of Carbon Fiber panels and green lights mounted all over.

A great place called ACI or wait...was it IEEE? i'm not entirely sure or drive team was the division that bought it all. We used it last year on (you've probably seen it) the 'Initiator'.

Hmmm...strength not strong enough to directly hold 120lbs but with reasonably spaced supports it can hold a lot and weight man it is light! A couple of pounds with 3' X 1' piece.

we got lucky that we saw the 80 inch rule before we shipped or else we would have been screwed

Where is this photo taken? Did you build a field?
It has a flavor of a pick up basketball game only it's ROBOTS and I like that!
Awesome.

Hey do you guys have any videos of the robot in action? It looks pretty cool, but videos of the robot hurdling, knocking off the ball or just the robot in motion.

80 inches is the maximum horizontal distance, in any direction, allowed during play. <R16>

1. If you guys thought it was 80, you're in HUGE trouble.

Re: pic: 1323 Robot
we do have vids, but our captian is one of those high def video people. So he has the vids and they are pretty big. We'll try to post them, the bumpers are black and we didn't put them on. About the field, we got some track turf and one of our shop classes built the overpass. Then the robotics class spray painted the overpass. Thanks and we'll try to post some vids

And I do have video, and I would really like to downscale it and upload it...BUT
I've been building this thing for six weeks and I haven't really been doing homework, and my parents are expecting another 4.0 GPA or higher and I am failing all my classes.
