Very cool Robot!

I never would have thought to use a scissor lift like that. nice job 3528

Re: Team 3528 Robot
 

I really like your design. Its going to be one of those "one of a kind" bots this year. This is just me I would be worried about someone hitting you while scoring. It looks promising!

Re: Team 3528 Robot
 

Love the robot! Very accurate, too! We have a similar scoring strategy, but with a shooter. I can't wait to see it in competition! What regional(s) will you be competing at?

Re: Team 3528 Robot
 

Thanks! I appreciate it! Yeah thats what we were worried about too. The scissor lift is very strong actually. When its up it doesn't shake much at all when its hit, is very sturdy.

Re: Team 3528 Robot
 

Thanks! :) :) We will be competing in the Kansas City Regional and the Oklahoma Regional.

Re: Team 3528 Robot
 

Thanks! I'll be sure to watch the webcasts! Good luck!

Re: Team 3528 Robot
 

2-3 second to lift :/ this is plenty of time for a defense bot to push you off alignment.

make it faster !@!!!!!!

Re: Team 3528 Robot
 

Depends on the defender and the drivetrain.

How well/fast do you collect balls on a field? How well do you maneuver?

Re: Team 3528 Robot
 

Si Senor!

Have you tested your bot with other bots to see if you can be pushed sideways by them? If not, it would be SO COOL if you had some type of outriggers or something to give you more traction....

oh man that would be so cool

Re: Team 3528 Robot
 

We were originally thinking about a robot like yours that had the feeder angled up towards the top hoop and we would have rollers shooting the ballls on the loader to the top hoop.

Re: Team 3528 Robot
 

We collect balls pretty fast. Its not to slow but not to fast, about medium. We had a little trouble figuring out how to get it running better with what motors we had. However, thats not our teams main goal (to score hoops). Our main goal probably like everyone else is to get on the bridge.

Re: Team 3528 Robot
 

No we have not yet, we haven't gotten a chance too. They are mecum wheels so it doesn't have the best traction.

Re: Team 3528 Robot
 

Oddly enough when I saw the action of your bot I remembered the rube goldberg-ness of Robotnauts 118 last year. I think that in the years to come, Up Next is literally going to be the next 469 because of how they have, two years running so far, come up with such brilliant and unique ideas for robots.

Re: Team 3528 Robot
 

This is a very well executed design.
