Well this (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/30494) looks strangely familiar...
I should know. I copied it to make this (http://picasaweb.google.com/RionAtkinson/CAD#5424203492852997170).
from the looks, looks like a typical chassis for 1024 but it does seem like you wont be very willing to go over the bump
I wonder why you'd want a robot so tall unless you plan to climb the tower and not go over any bumps.

No reason a tall robot can't go over a bump, as long as it keeps the CG low enough. The tall clearance indicates to me that they're very much intending to go over the bump.
well if i remember your robots pic from this year, it was also tall...190 & 1024 collaboration??? lol

Cool chassis! How do you plan on overcoming turning scrub?
i doubt this but is this as far as you guys are this far into build?
How is the turning with those wheels?
edit: beat me to it Chris_is_me!
Maybe a blocking system of some kind? They will be able to block shots if there is a panel covering the space between the bars.

I think the side is like a half roll cage, so if they tip forward, you can push under it and gain leverage to right them?
Or, much more likely, "just" a hanging arm.

this was taken last weekend.

Turning is overrated

Bouncing balls back towards your zone off
the tower? That'd be my best guess.

As well as mine. Can't wait to see what else you guys have in store :)

pretty sure the GDC made that illegal

Rule or Q&A link?

That rule only limits the intrusion of the ball to 3" inside a mechanism above the bumper zone.
A ramp has 0" of intrusion. You could also have a funnel of some sort with 3" tall sidewalls, that would be 3" of intrusion.

I'm with Vikesrock on this one. As long as the ball bounces off without 'depressing' the deflecting mechanism/ramp 3", your golden.:cool:
id have to disagree, id have to say that there is like walls around your robot at 3" and if at any point a ball comes in contact with your robot within those walls, then that should be the 3" rule penalty

It's been clarified here already, it's perfectly legal. Also, if your "pretty sure" why don't you actually look it up before posting??
pretty sure is a confident statement if i didnt know, i would have said i think

That rule only limits the intrusion of the ball to 3" inside a mechanism above the bumper zone.
Here is <R19> in its entirety:
<R19> ROBOTS must be designed so that in normal operation BALLS cannot extend more than 3 inches inside
a) the FRAME PERIMETER below the level of the BUMPER ZONE (see Figure 8-5),
b) a MECHANISM or feature designed or used to deflect BALLS in a controlled manner that is above the level of the BUMPER ZONE.
Indeed, Vikesrock's interpretation is what I get as well.
ok, so then let me see if i am understanding you guys correctly, the 3" rule only applys to the mechanisms or the robot?

Above the Bumper Zone, yes, that is correct. That part is covered by <R19-B>.
Below the Bumper Zone the ball may only intrude 3" inside the Frame Perimeter as detailed in <R19-A>.

How about some details on those wheels? Are those the upgraded sheet wheels you guys were showing off in 2008?

are you guys planning to have kickers on all sides or is that for ground clearance

I was wondered how long it would take someone to catch my title about the wheels.
Hopefully our students will be assembling some tomorrow and I can get a good picture of one. They are similar to the design that was created in 2008 but 8 inches and have a biohazard symbol as the lightening pattern.

It looks like the structure could be used to right the position of the robot if it flips over when going over the bump

Id love to see pictures when you get them assembled. Also are you planning on marketing the wheels anytime soon?

Here is one of our traction wheels. Right now we don't have any plans on marketing them but maybe in the future if the right opportunity arises.
