Image Discuss: Team 1011

[1e875c022c8a6ecb2fadcd647db233f0_l.jpg] This is a picture of our robot on top of the ramp at the Gila Monster’s Arizona Invitational. As you can see we have wings on either side that make us 10’6" to gaurd the ramp. We have two suction cups at the end of each wing to hold us on top. On the front and back we have ramps that our partner can use to drive on top of us and sit or fully cross over us if they can’t go under the bar. That’s me on the left.

As usual, the deadline is Sunday at Midnight Eastern.

Go!

You said you measured the doorway and it would fit… Was it a loading bay door perhaps?

[EricH]

“Hey, I thought you said the suction would work. It doesn’t suck enough!”

“What do you mean, the less it sucks the more it sucks right?”

[gellnick]

“So remind me again why you’re lifting the arm when it’s supposed to be motor-powered?”
“CAD put a drill motor on a planetary in, Mechanical was out of drill motors so we used a compressor, Electrical wired it up as the main breaker, and somehow Programming decided a Victor 883 programmed in FORTRAN would adequately handle all driver station-robot communications.”

[GaryVoshol]

Bigfoot wears safety glasses - who knew?

[Wayne_Doenges]

The robot was supposed to be 10’ 6" long and 5’ wide. 10’ 6" wide and 5’ long.
Ooops1

[Wayne_Doenges]

[new entry] The robot was supposed to be 10’ 6" long and 5’ wide, NOT 10’ 6" wide and 5’ long.
Ooops! [new entry]

[ajs2]

This robot accidentally deploying its arms in auton and blocking its partners is what caused HQ to institute extension limits.

[cgmv123]

They’re supposed to be ramps, not catapults!

[EricH]

[New Entry]

I think we’re ready–JUST GONNA SEND IIIT!

[Osby]

“This was supposed to be a titer totter!”

[LuiTheFly]

With wings inspired by WildStang and a ramp flipper from Bronco, this bot is sure to be a real kicker!

[NPOE] probably biohazard at the time, not bronco, but that just doesn’t fit as nicely

[wgorgen]

If you are afraid of heights, this robot is not going to scare you.

But if you are afraid of widths, this robot is TERRIFYING!

[GeeTwo]

Wide we do this, again?
