From one FCS to another, that's some nice shooting.

"It looks like they're trying to become a machine gun!"

[bkahl]

What kind of a wheel do you guys use?

[zachmartin1806]

We use a 7" pneumatic wheel with an aluminum hub

I feel like 1806 this year is like 2056 in their early years, where they were fantastic but got no where enough credit because they won events with 1114. I know 1986 gets most of the publicity, but 1806 has built a fantastic full court shooter and climber-dumper that has won two events.

If I voted, I'm sure I would include 1806 in my FRC 25.

Gotchya. We made our own wheel. Milled and EDMed a 12 inch wheel and poured 60 durometer polyurethane around it. Works like a champ.

I really like your trajectory. The problem we face sometimes is that our frisbees shoot so fast, they bounce out. You guys are shooting at the perfect speed for them to get there, but stay in.

[Grim Tuesday]

When I saw that you had both a full court shooter and a colored disc dumper my jaw dropped. Amazing machine, can't wait to see it in St. Louis!

I just saw their finals match.
1806 is a very well rounded machine.
Impressive..

Thanks for the comparison!!! Its great to hear what other people think of all the hard work our students put into making this machine come together!

And they are a capable pyramid-cycle shooter also. 1806 is already in the FRCTop25, and moving up.

Two regional wins, and they keep getting better. :cool:

[zachmartin1806]

Yeah, just a simple fix in our shooter wheel speed control had the effects of increasing the precision of our control, decreasing the recovery time of the wheel, and making our automatic firing more reliable.

I swear after we got it working right we spent an hour just shooting Frisbees for "testing" purposes.

Oh, and happy birthday from S.W.A.T.!

That's on the same level as 1551's 'point defense system' shooting a ball out of midair at Buckeye last year.

+1 for a neat block.
- infinity for doing it against your alliance.

I thought 1806 was one of the top teams on Galileo this year. Tremendously impressive FCS, but not discounted as a cycler as well. Plus that 20pt climb + 20pt dump. Take note people. 1806 just broke the first level into becoming a real powerhouse in the coming years.

Although it was great playing with you guys, we wish it had been under different circumstances.

You guys are a great group and had a great robot, but having 2 tall FCSes wasn't a good strategy at all.
3656 needs to do their scouting homework next time. They had a decent feeder station runner bot, but they ruined our alliance's chances by doing their picking based on average score alone, and just going down the list.
Truth be told, we wanted them to pick More Martians for their floor pickup, but they were dead set on using their scouting to choose.

Oh well, we'll get 'em next year.

Our robot throws custom $5.50 FIRST Frisbees at a rate of 75 discs per minute and a speed of ~32 feet per second.
It costs over $80 to feed our robot for 12 seconds.
