 My team heard another team describe the Championships as "10,000 kids jamming the Georgia Dome for 3 days…more nerds per square foot than a Star Trek convention…and more purposefully employed "
Is this true?, Because I don't think there could possibly be a more wonderful place on earth - Emily3204 [more] |

Our 2014 robot in (fairly) complete form. It's missing the "fingers" on the catapult and the sponsor board/catching assist.
Dahmenator is in honor of Madison Memorial High School principal Bruce Dahmen, who died suddenly while attending the basketball game of one of his alumni. Our team was started at Memorial, and many of our students still come from there.

I'd think at 13 tanks, a compressor and a single tank would weigh less...
EDIT: You do have a compressor on there, too.
Why all the tanks? Capacity for the catapult?

Do I see what could be one of the older larger Thompson compressors mounted beneath the bank of plastic tanks? Perhaps its mechanisms rely on a large volume/consistent pressure air? There are some pretty decent size cylinders there.

There is a compressor on there as well. We should be able to get about 6 or 7 catapult shots on those tanks alone, but we had the weight for the compressor and the tanks. We're at about 100 lbs right now.
