 I bet a lot of us (mentors and students) got into this line of work first because we wondered how things work, and stayed in it because we thought "I can make that work better". Thus starts a life-long battle between perfection and time. So far, time is ahead. - petek [more] |

hmm... apparently in this photo the extra fencing on the top wasnt trimmed down. looks like a prototype of some sort. They didnt send you a final pic, ellen?
Here are some statistics (from what i remember)
- Helical Hopper capable of holding ~15 balls, with active rising system to prevent jams and keep the ball constantly ready to shoot
- Turret capable of rotating 360*, limited by software to 270* (or else it would shoot the not-present-in-photo-camera)
- Shooter has an accurate range of about 8 feet, can shoot at max 12, fires about 5-7 balls per second fully revved up
- Software controls for target tracking and motion prediction, and traction control
The robot's unofficial name is "Master Chief", mainly because of the shape of the camera guard, but dont tell anyone that.

Love it, Uberbots. Though I must say I miss the umbrella of doom you guys had last year. 
The only event our teams have in common this year is Championship... who knows? Maybe 2009 will be another Uber-Kil-a-Bots year.

We figured, though, that an umbrella of doom design this year may not fare so well with the referee's, so we came up with the fence of doom
thanks for the compliments guys (:
