Robonauts '09 -- Revolution

Here's what really went in the crate... all 120#s of it heading for DC.
- Human player loaded hopper with ~18 ball capacity.
- Ackerman steering using "2 wheel crab".
- Dedicated empty cell delivery system.
- Camera controlled turreted shooter powered by the robonaut record player... LPs only (Rumors are wrong, if spun backwards robot does not say "Paul Copioli is dead")

It seems to have changed quite a bit since the last video you posted... Is there any particular reason why it's a wide robot now? The shooter looks new as well. Cool empty cell manipulator, too!

A very excellent robot as always!

Small possible flaw I see though......That space in the middle of your robot.....If an empty cell gets tossed in there, then you can't pick up anymore without forcing a penalty on yourself. Correct? (However if you have an empty cell and one is thrown in there by an opponent you're fine)

I think the empty space is designed so that one can place an Empty cell there and then there's a little mechanism that launches the Empty cell out.


That robot is sick though, but what was the first one? A really nice prototype?

What are the springs in the bottom rear of the robot for?

I was thinking about that but I can't see anything, hopefully someone from the team can clarify?
