One example is the “Beast” and the video is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--MSSAiEcT0.  My teams loves this video.

 

It would be my guess that this robot is the reason for the junk penalty this year.  I originally thought the junk penalty resulted from the orange quilt until I saw this video.

My team considered that, but besides the complexity issue, we worried about the transition time and robot bloat issues in trying to provide the switch-ability mechanism. 

 

That said, I'd live to see the video, could you post a link?

Answer for question two.

There is a team that does the multiple chassis plan. The motors and programmable brick are moved.

There are youtube videos that show them switching between missions.

2 separate questions. Hoping for 2 separate answers. 
 
1. Can you use multiple robots during the tournament, ie 1 robot (EVS) for the first mission we attempt then a second robot (NXT ) for the next mission we attempt? 
 
2. Can we have two different chassis but 1 brick that we switch between chassis during the tournament?
 
Thank you,
 
Larry
