Also, as I'm unfamiliar with the term (sue me), what is a "jump drive" where 308 is concerned? Is it some kind of nonadrive/octanum/freaky thing?

I watched some of their matches and they seemed to operate essentially as a standard skid long bot.

Yes, a jump drive is an octocanum.

OK now if you're bored, feel free to provide bridge balance assist information, if you wish to share. I'm only looking for systems that can be used while your bot is ON the bridge, not while off the bridge helping others to balance.

I plan on visiting pits for this, but early info is good info. Thanks!

Please use the following classifications:

STINGER OUT - Stinger of any kind applied outside of frame perimeter
STINGER IN - Stinger of any kind applied inside frame perimeter
BRAKES - Braking/stay put system - mechanical brakes, pneumatic pad onto bridge surface, etc.
PID BRAKES - Deserves its own category if no other mechanical braking present, as control stops once match ends.
OVERHANG(+) - Can hang at least 12" of robot off the bridge. Use OVERHANG+ if you have additional features to secure the bot that don't fall into any other category - wood blocks, wedges, tilting arm to affect COG :-), etc.

217 - stinger in, overhang, overhang angle management (aka wood blocks directly behind the center wheels).

Re: M.A.R.C. 2012 Invite list

2337 also added pneumatically powered brakes (inspired by 1718) for the IGVC offseason event two weeks ago (used successfully for single, double/co-op, and a triple balance).

Added info for 217 and 2337. Presumably 2337 overhangs 12" if tripling, so I added that as well.

Re: M.A.R.C. 2012 Invite list

You can add stinger out for 1718 (along with brakes).

Re: M.A.R.C. 2012 Invite list

1675 - stinger out, overhang.

This is a different and much simpler stinger than what we had at the regional level, but its also somewhat untested as its been built away from our shop (uses the same gearbox as previous stinger and has a shorter moment arm, so theoretically it SHOULD work BETTER than before....)

Re: M.A.R.C. 2012 Invite list

Stinger/arm out.
If one partner has stinger, we like to be the first one up for triple balance and rotate our arm all the way down to under the bridge once the arm has gone over the edge. That way, there is no possibility of the bridge not balancing.

I didn't put that in, because I wasn't 100% sure of our overhang. Looking at CAD, without bumpers (wheel axle to frame perimeter), we have ~14.9 in. So, yep, we do get the Overhang badge.

For clarification, our "Stinger In" is simply a 'dingus' - 148-style - a large pneumatic cylinder.

Re: M.A.R.C. 2012 Invite list

461 overhang (~16 inches)

-Duke

Re: M.A.R.C. 2012 Invite list

51 has a Stinger(in).

Re: M.A.R.C. 2012 Invite list

My list above updated with info through previous post. Thanks for sharing - keep em coming!

Re: M.A.R.C. 2012 Invite list

548 - Stinger In, Overhang

Re: M.A.R.C. 2012 Invite list

Both Team 40 and 494 are both STINGER OUT, there front flippers are there stingers.
