Looks like one of Raul's creations finally turned on him.

Can't wait to see the whole robot at the Championship.

That is unsafe.

Yeah, Raul, you should probably have safety glasses on while being eaten alive by your robot.

(looks great, btw)

I hope the other robots don't get the same idea.

Nah, Wildstang 2007 is controlling Wildstang 2009. I don't know what Raul did to warrant this treatment...

This configuration should make it a lot easier for them to lose weight at Midwest this year

Raul

Re: pic: WildStang 2009 Teaser #2

Actually, we were well under weight for the first time since 2003. 10 pounds under. We started adding more lexan to add some weight - still 5 pounds under. I will probably add a hood ornament or mascot to get it up to 119.9.

Re: pic: WildStang 2009 Teaser #2

Same here. We actually just realized we shipped the robot without getting a final weight...that's never happened before.

Just leave 5 pounds of body parts in there, you'll be fine

Re: pic: WildStang 2009 Teaser #2

You mean you won't be drilling this year? You mean you will be leaving the bot alone and be relaxing in the stands?

The world is gonna crack.

Re: pic: WildStang 2009 Teaser #2

Come on Bill, it would be true Lunacy for me to relax in the stands - I would be the one to crack. No, I will be frantically trying to add weight in a sensible way. You know - just trying to add some functionality to keep up with 71, 16, 217, 1114, etc. I got 5 pounds to play with - wow!

18-02-2009 11:49

Lil' Lavery

Re: pic: WildStang 2009 Teaser #2

5 pounds is more than enough to add an LED display that states "1114 would just be 4 without 111," "Beatty Least," and other witty comments.

Re: pic: WildStang 2009 Teaser #2

I'd reccomend going old school and add the rotating light. We've always wanted to have the weight for it on a 177 bot.

Re: pic: WildStang 2009 Teaser #2

I know just before ship we were about 15 pounds under weight. Last year we added a 8 pound weight in the back of the robot.
we are going to find some way to use the extra weight to our advantage.

Re: pic: WildStang 2009 Teaser #2

Normally, hood ornaments go on TOP, not underneath. Are you now a mascot??

Re: pic: WildStang 2009 Teaser #2

5 pounds under?!? No more swiss-cheesing at Midwest?!?

Anyway, looks great, guys. I spy some familiar components on the robot, and I can't wait to see the whole thing. I'll be watching the Midwest webcast - don't disappoint! And Raul, I guess you are always up to your usual antics...

1038 working on keeping our MOJO calm and collective, unlike Wildstang 09.

I'm printing this out and bringing it to next year's brainstorming sessions when you propose we build a crab base and a 5 jointed arm that extends to 15' tall.
