Alexander P. and I are on a robotics team and were commissioned to built a scale model of the robot and make a stop motion animation of it.

the actual robot is about five feet tall and 120 pounds. its "mission" is to knock a 42 inch ball off a rack, then pick it up or herd it around a track. doesn't sound too hard, but when you see that there are five other robots on the field of aproximately the same size, along with four balls... it gets kinda crowded. Alexander might be doing a better job of describing the robot than I.

the green peices on the end there are no mistake, on the actual robot we used self lubricating plastic as paddles for pick up the ball, and it happens to be green. the tan peices are where there is wood attatched to the robot, it was just something lighter than metal and pretty easy to drill holes into for attatching the PWMs and pneumatics and whatnot. the mast seen in an upside down "L" is what our robot uses to knock the balls off of their rack. the red spot is where we have an infrared chip, it came with the various parts given to the team and was colored red, hence the red.

THIS JUST IN: After being defeated only twice in eight qualifying matches, our team was undefeated in finals. At the begginning of the finals we were the bottom of all the teams that made it to the finals, and we beat the top team in the quarter finals. in short, we won, rather victoriously. Now it is time to go to Atlanta, Georgia for the finals.
