What sort of capabilites do the teams going to VCU have? Consider this some preliminary scouting for all the teams going. I am on Team 401…we have the capabilites to pick up and load balls. We also have a dual drive system that goes at both 1 ft/sec and 9 ft/sec.
Here’s a picture of our robot. Sorry for the bluriness.
Team 122, The NASA Knights, will be at Richmond. We have a basket, ball pickup, and two goal latches. Our wheel base is 5 feet wide (first thing we do when we start a match is fall over). Rear wheels are 8 inches wide and powered by a Chalupa each. Front wheels are omni-directional casters powered by a drill motor each. I dare someone to join into a pushing match with us ;). Sometime soon I’ll get some pics of our robot into the CD gallery.

P.S. Can’t wait to see your 'bot, 401. Had a good time with you guys last year at VCU.
The Miracle Workerz are looking forward to an exciting competition at VCU. As you can probably tell from the pictures uploaded by GNITICXE, MOE 2002 can grab on to all three goals and push them into the scoring zone. There’s more that he can do, but you’ll have to wait until the competition to see!
Be afraid. Be very afraid!
Team 116 can drive forwards and backwards and pick up baclls and grab a goal and drive at cough meters per second and score in the opposite endzone.
