 Because of the silly "What's the best 254 team" thread I recently found there is an Electric Sheep! 2546. TBA also says 2505 is The Electric Sheep But which team is the one androids dream of? - Katie_UPS [more] |

This is our new robot MAX 4 standing next to our old robot MAX 3. MAX 4 has all the capabilities of MAX 3 with the added bonus of scoring both on the 18" and 24" goals. MAX 4 is the robot that won at the NYC Championship on April 5.

Re: pic: Say Hello to MAX 4
I got to take a close look at it during NYC FTC. One of the most interesting aspect of the robot is its onboard autonomous selection method. Just above the "Teen" sign you will see two bevel gears stickin out of the robot with no apparent purpose. The shaft thats holds the bevel gears are attached to potentiometers which monitor the position of the gears and set the autonomous mode accordingly. They use the bolts around the pot to keep the gear aligned using metal attached to the gear so that it does not change settings. It is an impressive bot.

Do MAX 4 use an auto sort system for the rings? I know I've seen one on a vex bot before, I think it was '06.

The robot I saw at Snowday Showdown was amazing, I'm sure I'm in for an even bigger shock at the Championship! Best of luck guys!
