Here's one last shot of our little black box.
Wow, that bot is really cool
You might have a hard time getting up the step with the saw there. I think dewalt would win. It would be a good match though. j/k lol. Nice robot though. It just looks really cool, especially that control box. Good job team.
That is awesome! Is that independent suspension? It reminds me of the Mars rovers. That plow looks real good too.
besides climbing the stairs what exactly are you trying to acomplish?
I think they were showing the “mysterius” black box… which is most likely empty… or evil :eek: 
yea, that and there bot…
notice the title and the other bots in the background…
that robot is definatly a a new one, and the other “robot” that you see in the background appears to be a ball collection device.
i no wat the black box does, it sends out a signal to disable all the other robots and then a rele low frequency sound to have elephants come and step on all the other robots. the plow is there to push the remains of the robots off the field and the suspension is so it jus has a smooth ride over a dead robot parts…hahaha jkjk
it looks rele nice guys. great job, but wat is that suspension for :rolleyes:
what’s a soccer ball doing in the basket? 
hehe, I just noticed they have another pic, part 2a, that they apparently didnt start a discussion on http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/pictures.php?s=&action=single&picid=6382&direction=DESC&sort=date&perrow=4&trows=3&quiet=Verbose
very interesting… and… er … innovative design… looks realy great! Are all the wheels driven?
Yes.
We’ll post pix of our bar grabbing and climbing device tomorrow.
We also have a secret weapon which will allow us to manipulate the balls in an interesting fashion (weight allowing).
Climbing the 6" step.
and no info on the black box 
The answer is in this thread…
Its a “gyro”/Yaw rate sensor that was created by the team. I give this team a huge hand and commendment for coming up with a team designed use and actual yaw rate sensr this year.
Oh, you MADE one. Im guessing to keep the cost down. We were going to go with an old first yaw/rate on our bot, but we made an accelorometer for under $10, then we decided that there was no reason to use it… Are you using it for ajusting your “legs” while climbing?
Does the mysterious black box contain a board with a MEMS yaw rate sensor, or is there an actual homemade sensor in there?
