I call for Saturday to be the unofficial unveiling day on ChiefDelphi for teams to show their bots. No more teasers…trick pictures or 2002 robots. lets see what everyone has out there…proprietary technology aside.(some of you might need to protect sensitive designs)
We’ve already posted a pic our robot at about 80%, and unselfishly revealed our plans. On Saturday I’ll be posting pictures of the completed robot, minus customs.(like paint, graphics and finishers like the light)
The funnest part of the season is seeing what everybody has come up with! So consider this the official personal invite for veterans and rookies alike.

This saturday!? The saturday before the ship date would be appropriate. We would have nothing to show until then, anyway, considering the fact that we haven’t begun the build cycle as yet.
having an “official day” may likely cause performance issues with the site. It’s more fun to guess what pieces are. Many teams don’t have their bot’s done yet and some havn’t even started putting pieces together.
its okay, i didn’t expect anyone to start posting this early. we always post as soon as possible because we love to get the process rolling. either way, you can see our finished product this saturday!!

Don’t at all suggest it is selfish of teams to not post pictures of their robot. Teams hold the right to keep their design and work a secret. Don’t expect any team to show you their robot unless it’s at a regional, because till then, no one really cares if you want to know what they’re doing. Part of the fun of FIRST is working together as a team to create new and innovative ideas for performing a task, which is why people aren’t sharing. I’m getting tired of these calls for pictures. If you want to see something magnificent, look here and gaze in awe:

… As soon as we have a robot to post pictures of, I promise I’ll post all the pictures you want!
Yeah… possibly one of the motors lying around our shop may be used on the robot eventually… at the moment… umm, designs are still not final, let alone prototypes

:ahh:gasp! not building yet!?! oh my, RAGE has really lost its edge now it seems!
for us, 15 minutes before the UPS truck arrives would be more appropriate.
I’m uploading 1 picture friday night. I’ll tell you that it wont show all (not even most of our robot) and it will not show our progress to that date. But it will be good, heck you probably wont even be that surprised.
“It’s all been done…woohooo…It’s all been done…woohoo…It’s all been dooonnnnnneee before!”
Our drive base is completed, although we still need to manufacture our servo shifter for the drill motors. The base was driveable yesterday, although the program had not been uploaded yet. Pics will be available as soon as I can take them/get approval from advisors.

Err-- assembling yet. We haven’t begun to put anything together. We are still drawing and making parts. Don’t worry…
