Team 25 2008 Unveiling

Team 25 goes live at 9 PM Eastern Standard Time (GMT -5). Check back in this thread at 9 for the YouTube link.

Let the speculation begin.

t-4.75

EDIT:
Team 25 2008 robot, Evil Machine 6: Jughandle, revelaed!

Oh noes! :ahh:

Yippie! Also, better upload it to youtube before 9 if you don’t want to wait for the absurdly long processing time anymore…

We already have a plan to combat that.

t-4.5(ish)

hmm well you’ve got my attetion

Yeah. You have my attention. But if I don’t see it I will see it tommorow :slight_smile:

T-4

Nuh-uh! Minutes count too! :stuck_out_tongue:

You should’ve added an “ish.”

Predictions:

Hmm. Well, 1885 based our elevator off of the magnificent elevator I saw on your bot in Baltimore last August. So it’s either a shooter bot or another one of those elevators since they work so great.

Or you ditched the geared power drive and are now holonomic…

25 going holonomic? :ahh:

Awesome! We had an excellent time at the Battle O’ Balitmore - knowing that we were able to help inspire others is an added bonus. :slight_smile:

T-3.5ish

Predictions:

After looking at pictures and video of Team 25’s previous robots I am willing to say the following:

  • They consistently like to use the KISS principle on design and function (which means no holonomic)
  • Expect to see very few moving parts
  • 25 will incorporate an amazing IR system (especially for use in Hybrid Mode)
  • I would even dare to say that 25 does not even have a grabber

You never know… :wink:

t-3ish

I’m gonna guess that 25 took their Aim High robot, clicked the enlarge tool, spead it out, croped some parts away to fix their canvas size and gave it an even better resolution.

Holonomic? I thought we were holographic. Or was that autonomic? I’m confused…

(naw- can’t be autonomic. Otherwise we’d be playing in Vagus- not to be sympathetic)

No ohms here- sorry

WC :cool:

t-2.25ish

No need to fret…“Tis Only a Gentle Giant.”

Well, based off of this picture, I predict 25 has a fast elevator arm (1501 comes to my mind, but I think this one will not have elastic bands… I saw another bot like this…), but knowing 25, it will most likely have a (insane) grabber on the front and hurdle from the front. Also, I’m sure they came up with a “magical” hytonobrid mode… Just my thoughts :wink:

Perhaps The Office season 3 disc 4 will be done by 9pm…

FIRST needs to officially use that as the name for hybrid mode.
