Pictures of Curie!!

[shaharsss1690]

As we saw over at Newton Division, if we we could compile the pictures of every robot in the Curie Division, it would be to the mutual benefit of all teams in the division. At the bare minimum, a picture of your robot would be great. If you have pictures of other teams that you attended events with, that would be even better. Let's get started with just my team, and make it to 100!:

If you don't have pictures, robot dimensions would be cool to post. Or simply post if you are wide or long oriented. (stinger is a plus)

[jblay]

I created this google doc (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuF1A5cZW-3sdEJIMHVnRnVNY2daa3p4dzRaaXg2dGc#gid=0) for information on teams. If some of my information is wrong please correct it. Also there are a few teams that I could not find information on so if you know the information please add it.

And here is a photo of our robot (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/img/656/65616710518baa03b66f02e4effa49ed_l.jpg) equipped with a stinger that has already enabled a triple balance and was with 100% success on the Coop bridge.

Now for the pitch:

Six wheel tank drive. 4 CIM's. Great pushing power and traction.

We can cross the bump.

We can tip the bridge down from behind, or push the bridge up from the front for someone else to get on.

Yes, we are a long base robot, but we have a center wheel drop and an extremely low and back CoG. Thus, we can hang about 17 inches off of the bridge, and still be soundly situated on 4 wheels. See our quadruple balance at 45's practice field here (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/37887) for more dynamics.

We are very willing to balance on the scoring bridge or co-op bridge, and can do both effectively and quickly.

Our shooting was about average at our two competitions, but at DC we discovered we had a Jaguar that was shorting. We have since fixed this and just yesterday we made 21 teleop-style three-point shots in a row without missing. We use a microsoft live webcam that we stripped of the IR filters and added a filter to only allow IR, and a beagle board off-board processing to not lag down the cRIO/processing (im not a programmer so my nomenclature could be wrong). This leaves us with an IR-based super accurate turreting shooter that won't be affected by outside lights or colors.

We have a lot of experienced mentors, ranging from previous members of our team to programmers studying currently at Purdue University to the Senior Mentor of Indiana FIRST as our lead mentor. We are very well known for always having a part someone needs, so if you break down in qualifications/eliminations, we're there to give you stuff. We even bring pneumatics even though we don't have any on our robot.

I (the strategist of the team) will also talk to all 5 teams before every match in qual's, so you can also guarantee a vast knowledge of our opponents and their game plans.

Good luck to everyone!

Here is a picture of Team 987's robot.

See you all next week. It's going to be fun.

[SteveGPage]

Here is our robot at bag and tag day. Since then, we have added a new bridge manipulator and balancing device. It should also let us consistantly score coop bridge balls in HM, rather than just capturing them.

Our Current "Resume" for Curie
* We have a long configuration, but hang over the front, leaving only 21 inches on the ramp, as seen here: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/37859
* We have a front wheel raised, 6 wheel drive drivetrain.
* Wheels are 10 inches in diameter, and made of Baltic Birch - yes, that's wood!
* We weigh 119.9 pounds
* We use AndyMark SuperShifter transmissions, with 2 CIMS
* We have a brake system to allow us to completely stop at any spot.
* We can do a complete 180 spin on the bridge.
* We use two cameras to give us angle and distance, allowing for auto targeting from anywhere on the field.
* Our HM shoots 2 in the 3 PT about 90% accuracy, but changes to the code should bring that to ~97%. We have scored as many as 4 in HM.
* In TeleOp we can score from in front of the key, to on the other side of the barrier, and have also scored from the bridge. In our best match at DC, after FMS issues were solved, we scored 7 of 8 shots in the 3 point baskets, and balanced on the bridge.
* Our overall OPR is 11th in Curie, which includes 3 matches at the Chesapeake Regional where due to FMS issues we didn't move.
* We were 5th Seed and Quarterfinalists at Chesapeake
* We were 2nd Seed and Finalists at DC
* We can cross the barrier and the bridge, and balance on both bridges.

We look forward to help break the Curie Curse!

What you see there is the front. What you can't see on the back is another ball intake and our bridge manipulator. Also, for our shooter, our elevation adjusts so we can shoot from several points of the field.

Picture from packup day
So far we changed only two things
We improved the bridge arm from an anemic slap to being able to take the bridge down after a couple of attempts
We adjusted the camera so that we can use it to line up our bridge manipulator as well as for shooting

We will be adjusting the bridge manipulator some more to get the bridge on the first try

[Akash Rastogi]

3929's robot (picture courtesy of team 25)

http://gallery.raiderrobotix.org/MAR-2012-Events/Mt-Olive/MtOliveDSP/IMG_2083

Mt. Olive District winners with 25 and 222. 3 time Rookie All Star winner. 2nd best bridge balancer at the MAR Championship. Capable of triple balancing (in practice, not tried in real match). Hangs 8-10" off the bridge. Consistent 1 ball 3pt auton, working on consistency of the 2nd ball. Multiple autonomous modes (fed team 25 in Mt. Olive http://gallery.raiderrobotix.org/MAR-2012-Events/Mt-Olive/MtOliveDSP/IMG_2608) (http://gallery.raiderrobotix.org/MAR-2012-Events/Mt-Olive/MtOliveDSP/IMG_2608%29). Working on getting better shooting this weekend with our practice bot and indexing balls better in the conveyors thanks to a local 'flowery' team.

Biggest thing we can boast is our bridge balancing skills, our drive doesn't roll on the bridges, we're geared for around 10fps with 8wd. We can also tip our robot 60 degrees before tipping over. The CoG is about 5" off the ground and weighted a bit more towards the back so we can hang off the bridges.

As Shaun (coach of 25) said in an EWCPcast, we're a pretty darn good "gopher bot" ;) meaning "go for this" and "go for that" and we will get it done. I trust my drivers to play smart and calmly in most situations.

[smistthegreat]

Team 1507 is excited to join Curie with our entry for this year's game, Zeus. Zeus is 33 and 2 through 2 regionals, with 2 number 1 seeds and 2 blue banners.

Picture here: http://www.warlocks1507.com/gallery3/2012/Buckeye-Regional/Friday/IMG_0936

Some Facts:

Drivetrain: 6 wheel drop center drive, with kit wheels geared for 12fps. There is also a set of small idler wheels located between the middle and front wheels, ensuring that we can reliably hang the front third of our robot off the bridge. Also, our robot has mechanical brakes (literally bicycle breaks) powered by a window motor that greatly assist in balancing.

Arm: Powered by an AM Gearmotor with a sprocket reduction, our arm doubles as a ball pickup and bridge manipulator. Our arm gives us plenty of power to bring bridges down easily, as well as widening our intake for balls.

Elevator: Continuous elevator, capable of holding 3 balls, including a "singulator" to index balls and feed consistently.

Shooter: Single axle, hooded shooter with 120 degrees of rotation on a turret, upwards of 80% accurate shooting 3s from the key and 100% accurate shooting 2s from the fender.

Hybrid: Capable of scoring 2 balls and bringing down the coop bridge, or getting fed and scoring 4 balls. One version of 4 ball hybrid shown here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AH4bZgZIBa0. We are also able to be fed and shoot 4 balls without pushing the other robot.

Good luck to everyone else in Curie, and we'll see you on the field!

Edit: Haha forgive the double post, that was entirely coincidental.
