Here it is. We have been working extremely hard on this year’s robot. Here are the specifications:
Drive - 2 CIM motors 4 wheel tank steer.
Intake - CIM powered floor load and human player bin.
Dumping - Powered by a 1 1/2" bore 6" long pneumatic cylinder.
We can dump 20 balls in 2.4 seconds.
This is not the normal ThunderChicken robot, but this is not a normal FIRST game.
We will see you at the competitions this year!

Wow guys, it looks awesome as usual. 20 balls in 2.4 seconds is very impressive. Great luck in your district events, we hope to see you at Championship!! 
I did think there would be more rivets… 
Hmm, it apears this picture shows the details that 254’s teaser left out! I imagine that it also looks great in 148 and 1114 trim.
I think this is a fake. There’s not nearly enough rivets for this to be a 217 bot…
Paul, are you sure you aren’t just yanking everyone’s chains? 
Yeah… I’m seriously doubting the legality of them there bumpers… They don’t appear to be fully supported along the length of the frame!
I’m kinda doubting that that is actually there robot, completely different from there base cad posted earlier (you dont make cad drawings that spiffy and not use them). and it just doesnt seem 217 style.
call me suspicious
Or what about this 'ol post from good 'ol Paul.
I think this 2 CIMs for drive and one for intake is just another red herring. 
And, camera? I think we caught ya Paul. 
Beat me to posting that link, I agree seems fishy…
Please don’t let the other post lead you astray. We never received our sheet metal so we had to go to plan B. We had to scale down some of our original plans, but this robot can deliver a really fast punch with the 20 ball dump and wicked traction control.
Any chance for a video?
Paul, where’s the camera???
how do the balls get from the bottom roller tothe top bin? all i see is one single roller, and not nearly enough rivets.

Magic!
Paul, where’s the camera???
We decided that the camera will not matter much this year.
Then what are you going to use Simulation Mode for this year!! :ahh:
And the dumping with the pnu-cyl. Are you just gonna tilt and slide?
v.cool.
I personally don’t think this is thier robot, but even is this is still relevent:
Imagine if a rookie team posted a fake picture of thier robot or said it worked using magic when asked how it worked. I’m sure you won’t get the same reaction
This post sums up the double standard well: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showpost.php?p=819965&postcount=8
Edit: Eh, I probably should not have posted this in this thread. My belief is that its is not fair for some teams to post teasers or not answer questions while other rookie or ‘unknown’ teams do the same get negitive rep and ‘run out of CD’. I still believe that, but understand that by posting in this thread, it puts the blame solely on Paul and 217, which is completely unfair. They did nothing wrong. I guess I should have saved this rant for those who are the ones giving negitive rep out. Anway, sorry again for causing a distraction.
I too call shenanigans.
I better go home and get my broom

First of all, why do you think it is fake? Second, nowhere does it state in the CD forums rules that we have to answer all questions about the robot.
And another thing: why are you so uptight about a so called “double standard”? Some people get uptight about the silliest things. Personally, I don’t care how silly the teaser is I just ignore it. I think some of them are hilarious and others are stupid but who cares?
All I can say is relax, I thought this was supposed to be fun …
Paul
What happened to your turreted shooter?
