Somebody is going to build a robot

(1/16) > >>

Somebody:
I have the approvals in place from my school. I'm building a robot for my college senior project, and I have the money saved up to do it. I am unbelievably hyped. Building a 30lber for Motorama 2016 is the goal, going to mail off my registration tomorrow since the signups are opened I have noticed. 7 people already signed up on a 16 bot bracket  :thumbdown

R1885:
Any idea what the design will be?

Somebody:
Current mental picture is a vertical spinner with some uniquely designed wedge elements to try to solve some problems inherent with the design in general, and cover up some weaknesses of current designs. I need to make design goals for the project based on a lot of factors however, and that may influence the design some. But that is the current idea.

Sage:
Vertical spinner sounds really difficult. I've never built a real robot but I can imagine that stability and structural integrity will be a knightmare.

SKBT:
the hella massive nightmare disks are no longer cool. compact STD's are where its at


30lb vertical i'm working on for moto....
