Re: pic: FRC973 Testing Bridge Stability
I don't think the shooter mechanism is on, 973 seemed a lot taller at CVR.

It's on there, it's just not powdercoated.

Adding bumpers probably also made a non-negligible change in your CG position.

What kind of tread do you have on your wheels?

Also, I'm not sure if the robot has an active breaking system on it or not. That could help. 256 had software breaks that worked so well we could be at a 45 degree angle and still stay where we were without falling. Of course, these disabled when the robot was turned off. |

also, with swerve you can turn your wheels parallel to the axis of rotation of the bridge, so that your wheels don't turn at all.

It's also AndyMark supplied wedgetop. the robot is missing the bridge mech in this pic, but that's only ~3 lbs and doesn't apreciably affect CG. The shooter as it exists on comp bot is on this in all it's heaviness. |
Re: pic: FRC973 Testing Bridge Stability
Cool, swerve! Does anyone know if there are higher resolution pictures of the modules on CD?

The wheel modules are 99% the same, the corner modules are 80% the same. |
Re: pic: FRC973 Testing Bridge Stability
Adam I have been meaning to ask, who came up with your front intake system? The side to side capability is a ingenious idea. I was wondering if it was a after though that was added on later or in the original design.

http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/22478 It has been very effective this year, utilized by 973, 177, 1477, 2415, and others at various points this season. It was also featured on a couple of 2006 robots, most notably team 27's (they also used the same concept in 2008). |
Re: pic: FRC973 Testing Bridge Stability
We also use this system on our robot. We call it the "Joe Johnson." It funnels balls down to a single column awesomely well.

Re: pic: FRC973 Testing Bridge Stability
Any chance 973 will post their 2012 rebound rumble robot CAD for the world to see?
