We are still trying to figure out a name for this thing. Any suggestions would help. Im for Tallyrod Smithwick
Here is the video

Let us know what you think
That little camera on top reminds me of R2-D2 lol
The arm is toned down a bit in some of the shots. in our auto mode the arm goes from bottom to top in a little under 2 seconds. also we have started working on our 1 button scoring on the rack that will tilt the pivot a little bit further than in this video while it ejects the tube.
The bot has a 2 speed transmission running at 6 fps and 16 fps. the elevator is powered by 3 550 banebots. the tilt and the gripper are each run by their own 550’s. deployment was not yet put on the robot when this video was being filmed. This was also the second time the drivers had driven the robot.
Improving driving, awesomely fast lift. You guys are in for another great season. Great to see another southern powerhouse emerge.
That’s 5 motors…
Aligatron
It has green lighting.
The lighting looks Tron (the movie) like.
Its roller claw looks like an aligator mouth.
The slanted back makes it look like it could be coming up out of the water.
You guys are based in the southern US…
Whatever you end up calling it, that thing is well-built. Great job!
Looking good guys.
Driver looks a little rough, but I’m sure he’ll be fine tuned by the time regionals roll around.
She does look nice. Perhaps something like Lucy.
Yeah its actually 4 550’s and the arm joint is a fp.
Also as was mentioned, the arm is only running at 30% speed in the video and all of the auto scoring features are still being worked out. Also, all of this video is from the first time we have driven the fully functioning practice bot and as such the operator is quite rusty. Expect things to speed up a good bit before Alamo
This is without a doubt the best robot I have ever had a hand in and the team really stepped up this year to get this robot built in a weekend
with movement… the camera… and the slick look… id do what another person mentioned… name it R2-D2 and maybe even throw in a “mew” for the team name… R2-D-Mew
That robots pretty cool also like the deadmau5 music! robot is sort of similar to ours how well does the roller griper work if I might ask?
Roller gripper works flawlessly. We can acquire at full speed in open space instantly. It is also coded so that it always keeps the tube sucked in tight so we really cant ever lose grip on a tube
yup this is the first time they really got to drive with everything. The auto scoring is not yet done so they are having to move the elevator, tilt, gripper individually. We have aggressive drivers…so with a little learning…they will be fun to watch
POOHBEAR.
(In honor of awesomeness and Georgia.)
I like it. Although, if you want to honor Georgia, name it No HOPE or something like that.

With all that chain call it Link and dress it up like Zelda.
Awesome. Glad to see that your jags are protected now. My only question, I think I asked it at the scrimmage, where are you placing the minibot, or are you just going to rely on its scoring skillz?
The minibot will be swinging out the side
New video of our robot from Alamo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJyzZ_qUd4Y
Sweet Go Pro… I wanted to put one on my robot. Did you find a way to get the feed from it on the driverstation?
