pic: Team 842 - Twins



This is our progress after 2 weeks.

nice!!! 2 robots!!

I didn’t really think (and i don’t think it will be common) that any team was going to be able to make the ridiculously high bumper zone look good on a robot. You guys sure did!

Captain Obvious! haha just messing. Nice construction of your robots. seems pretty solid. 2 robots for 2 possible ideas??

One robot is for practice and the other robot will be used at the competitions.

There is a good idea.

We have been doing that for a few years, and it really helps! We haven’t done it in the past 2 years because of time problems, but in 2008 we did build 2 fully functioning robots, just no the same. :cool:

hahaha, I thought you meant you had twins on your team! We have two sets on our team, so I am a little biased. :rolleyes:

We did the same in '08. 2 robots 2 different ways to execute the game. It was quite amazing. We are doing the same. But haveing one this year merely for design and testing purposes.

Looks like 842 will be avoiding the bumps and taking the tunnels this year?

True, though we are a minority…

Do you plan on covering the top of the robot so balls don’t get caught on top? Is so, what will you use?

Would you mind detailing the hardware you used to attach the mecanums to the Toughbox output shafts?
