Remembering the best

This is a pretty cool project Zach. If I may add some suggestions to your already star-filled list (Aside from 929 bots), some teams that come to mind are
-2587Z Skyrise
-400X NBN
-8000 Starstruck
-62A ITZ
-448X Turning Point
Thanks for deciding to complete this project and i wish you the best of luck in Uni

You could go with 35216C if you need examples of what NOT to do.
Source:Was practically the only person who worked on it willingly (seeing as my parters goofed off the whole time)

How about QCC2 from skyrise? Definitely my favorite vex robot of all time.

Where can I got my bot in blue and gold chrome? I swear I will get this even if it means taking up my entire budget

Im pretty sure that 2587 just used Rustolium paint every year. 169 last year got the robots anodized and a lot of FRC teams do powder coating. All of those will produce a similar look but painting is the cheapest.

The point of this project is to be a resource for teams to take inspiration for some of the best teams and robots in the world. Taking time to CAD the worst robots would not only waste time, but not be helpful to anybody.

I didn’t mean to sound rude, I just wanted to get the point across.

Still though, any of you with literally nothing better to do could do it

Wait… maybe we could post CAD files of bad designs… and then have everyone on the forums work to make it better! Maybe we could breed a Danny lift and dr4b to get the best of both worlds!

Edit: I’ll bring this onto a new thread. Dont talk about this here :slight_smile:

Can we not derail this thread with a debate about whether or not bad bots are worth studying?

Wdym. The dr4b has reached its peak evolution in the form of the danny lift :wink:

This would actually be pretty cool. Maybe we can CAD new robots for old games. After all, VEX robots have improved in build quality.

Also @Zach_929U don’t be humble, we all want a CAD file of 929U’s ITZ bot. That thing was smoking fast.

Ah, you see, I already have a cad file made for our team lol. I might potentially post it in VF by the time we move onto our next robot.

Probably not possible due to lack of pictures, but I’d like to see 2W Gateway.
