WOW! THAT IS IMPRESSIVE!
You look great.
Ford-Kingman is going to be a real playing in 2002 that much is certain.

hmm… i cant figure out how they grab the goals… position that is.
That robot brings a tear to my eye it is so beautiful. Team 60 has produced another great machine. Only hope they practice driving more this year.
I was completely terrified when I first say the pictures… And I still am, but just not as much anymore.
Through out the years of competing with them at California regionals, this 2002 robot of theirs are the most intimidating one by far.
I also heard that the pictures posted earlier were from a while ago, meaning they have as much driving practice as they will need.
At least right now I am little more prepared in planning strategy if teams are going against them… It’s going to be tough, but not impossible.
very nice, very clean, hehe wait till u guyz see ours, its really nice
Oh yeah, forgot to say, to Team 60:
GREAT JOB! This robot looks really really cool. No matter who win or who lose, this year is still going to be a great year!
Looking forward to see you at competition!
Is it me or does it look like the arm can spin the goals around the body?
That would be really cool. Frightening, but cool.

Wetzel it can. look in the center there is a drill motor there to turn it.
I want there team to start posting. I saw a member named team60 on but they wont post so i say. Come on!
I suppose those window motors and the nuematic pistons are to push against the goal’s top board and gain additional traction through their weight? Now that’s something formidable…with the weight of two few hundred pound goals and four motors driving it, it’d be real tough to push that robot around.
That is a defensive feature of there bot. It spins the goals so you can’t get near it to steal the goals without getting pounded.

Yep that’s right. Theoretically we can spin at 30 rpms
Does anybody but me think that their robot fits more under the category of “attack bot” then…“ANYTHING ELSE”. I wanted to make a bully this year but we weren’t allowed to. Not that that is why i’m complaining, we have a great robot, but that aren’t you all thinking the same thing “If they get up to speed my robot is in many, many pieces”. Goodbye gracious professionalism.
I would call trying to take a goal away from them and geeting smashed ‘driver error’…
Oh, and did they make a ‘spare’ or just repaint it?
Spare?
The 60 robot is anything but an “attack bot”. If they are able to lift the goals and have the time/ability to make them rotate, there is nothing wrong with that. In one scenario, they might be stationary or moving towards a scoring zone and another robot drives itself into those goals (or tries to attack 60), that is not the fault of 60. However, in another scenario, if 60 got the goals rotating and then started moving towards and after robots in order to bash them with the goals, then yes, I would agree they would be “attacking”.
This is one of the teams we know very well, and can predict with great confidence that they have probably planned on scenario one and have no intention of “attacking” robots. My take is that they designed this ability to rotate the goals as ‘encouragement’ or a deterrent to attack robots to leave them alone - basically, I think they built the “anti-attack robot” robot. If so, I think it’s brilliant.
Another year, another great Kingman robot.
Congrats to the Bionic Bulldogs.
Amazing job team 60. Hats off to the design team and the people who built it.
It seems to me that the ability to rotate the goals would make it very easy to move them into (or out of) scoring zones as needed… I don’t think the Bulldogs were thinking of swinging goals around to hit other robots either in attack or defense. I can’t imagine Glenn or his team doing anything like that. Sure, they will play hard, but not mean.

I saw the spining and though of Son of Wyachi. Yes that is a Battlebot, but I lok at it as a succesful engineered machine.
I think that defense entered into the mind of whomever was designing it. Looking forward to seeing them at nats.
Are you able to pick up one goal without having the other one to balance it?
