Mmmm... 8 wheel drive?

Looks sharp! The design looks very simple and effective, should do amazingly well in competition.

[VEN]

8 wheel drive eh....VERY NICE. I remember it was fairly hard to push you guys as opposed to other robots last year in Atlanta. 8 wheel drive should be close to impossible :D

sweet robot!

[AdamHeard]

8? wow.....


Also, does the grabber change its angle to the floor to be able to pick up from the wall? Or do you plan on just knocking them down.

[Bharat Nain]

Yes, it can change its angle.

[Kyle]

Once again it looks great I hope to beable to see it in person this year.

[thefro526]

Great looking robot again! Hope to see it in NJ. Two question though, how does your lift work and are you still using a similar kind of gear drive as last year.

[Bharat Nain]

A belt system elevates it and we are using the same drive system as every year.

[Kristian Calhoun]

We may have out-shined Team 75 (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/27288) this year ;) .

[lukevanoort]

Very nice. Was there a specific reason for the shift to an eight wheel drive?

[nuggetsyl]

yes

[AdamHeard]

yes

could you be more specific?

Are the two center pairs lowered, or do you still brute force the turns?

[Lil' Lavery]

could you be more specific?

I can almost guarantee they brute force it, it's 25 after all....

none of the above the to middle ones are omin wheels.

[Bharat Nain]

omni wheels? Hahahaha. I hope you have a sense of humor

And to answer your question, yes i think we are brute forcing it unless we made an error in the frame :p

[pacoliketaco]

everyone should expect another near-perfect performance from 25:D

[Billfred]

I'm not sure which is weirder: that someone on 25 would even joke about omnis, or that I actually went back and looked again at the picture to check.

Hope to see this thing in Atlanta!

you should see the square wheels they wanted to use.....:rolleyes:

[joshsmithers]

I like those speed holes.. those are nice speed holes.(our team determined that I think speed holes are sexy)

But really, it's a sweet robot.

[Rohith Surampudi]

We may have out-shined Team 75 (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/27288) this year ;) .

hahaha i think you may have :p

but this looks like yet another amazing robot, great work guys!

[sexybeast1251]

so does it or does it not use brute force turning?

[Bharat Nain]

Yes, we brute force, if that's what you want to call it.

[Kristian Calhoun]

[conacher]

good job. i wouldn't want to get in a pushing match with you

[nuggetsyl]

good job. i wouldn't want to get in a pushing match with you

ITs funny we build up our drive train because everyone seems to want to get into a pushing match with us. I would like nothing more then not to have a big target on our backs.

[slickguy2007]

Wow. This thing looks really intimidating. It is another clean machine from 25. It is just mezmorizing to stare at for some odd reason.:)

[Jonathan Norris]

Any crazy autonomous video's this year of your guys scoring like 8 ringers in auto??? :p

[Wayne C.]

you cant score 8 ringers in auto- at most 3

[Nuttyman54]

you cant score 8 ringers in auto- at most 3

Ahh, but you're discounting robots that can pick up the ringers form the opposite wall and score those too!

[Wayne C.]

Ahh, but you're discounting robots that can pick up the ringers form the opposite wall and score those too!

actually no I'm not- it is highly unlikely that a robot can score any more than three ringers in the 15 second auto period no matter where they come from

[petek]

I guess its a good thing the gum rubber is back...

My family used to have a gum rubber factory in India, but I don't see the connection--:yikes:

Where did you get your bearing slides for the elevator?
