Why do you only use 2 CIMs on your drive when the ones on your shooter only go 40 feet? Our shooter is run with two 775's through CIM-U-LATOR gearboxes and we shoot full court, if not farther at full power. It seems like those CIMs may be better used elsewhere (on your drive).

Here is the Robot unveil http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=N0im0XImxBg


Shooter:

Powered by 2 fisherprice 9015 motors.
Has a Max Distance of about 30 Feet.
Once we put on our 0673 motors it will shoot farther.
The Angle of the shooter can be manually adjusted before the start of the match.
Rotation of about 270 degrees
Rotation is powered by a andymark 9014 motor.
The shooter uses the camera for assisted aiming of the shooter.


Wedge:

Wedge powered by 1 window motor


Lift and intake roller:

Lift powered by a denso throttle control motor
The lift uses poly-cord to carry the ball resting on a series of PVC rollers.


Drive Train:

Kitbot on Steroids Modified by using 8 inch wheels instead.
Turns on a dime.

Was the estimated landing point. Including the bounce we can go ~60 feet.
Unless you mean your robot can shoot all the way to the end of the court without the bounce... :eek:

We had to lower our shooter power because we were shooting over the field. No bounce.

[CN-U-NEFCU?]

Team 4160 from Mission Bay High School is a rookie team attending San Diego regional. The shooter hood is soon to be replaced by lexan using the withholding allowance.


The ball was accidentely shot into a wall where it rebounded back into the shooter three times in a row! The second ball soon ended the incredibly fun cycle. Don't blink it goes fast!

[Bill_B]

Lookin' pretty smooth. Did you try recovering balls from a bridge? I also caught your "thank you" video - class act! BTW who's that guy wandering into the frame? Mentors aren't part of the team?

[Jon Stratis]

Bill - I assume you're talking about my video :) Myself and another mentor were there last night working with them, mostly running around propping up the sides of the "field" to keep the balls accessible. I swear, I never actually got to drive the robot!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLqO6oN_kjo

This has been our most successful build season yet, with the most members our team has ever had (25) and an incredible amount of support from our new mentor Eric (known as Cire on Chief Delphi).

Hats off to everyone who was a part of the 2012 Redbird Robotics build season.

We will be practicing hard in the following weeks before the Wisconsin Regional!

(And enjoy the video, I put a ton of work into it.)
