Team 1014 - Practice Bot close to complete

Here is a video of 1014's nearly complete practice robot. The 10 point climber is not mounted yet, the winch will be mounted under the shooter deck and the side shields are not on. Otherwise it is pretty much complete.

The final robot is in mid fabrication. Here is a time lapse video of the chassis pieces being machined on Saturday (for welding Monday and Tuesday). The plan is to finish the welding during the start of the week and have the final robot assembled by Saturday for testing.

While I am posting, here is a video of the pusher we are using to move the frisbees to the shooter. And one of our sports themed promo videos.

Nice design! Im wondering why it wasn't shooting straight (it was at an angle to the target) is that a design choice? If so why?

The left pull on the shooter came when we adjusted the shooter wheels once. It is because the side wall extends a few inches beyond the wheels. But since it shoots consistently we decided to leave it. We will have the camera mount at the actual shooting angle.

Here is a short video of our practice shooting at the eTech Ohio conference yesterday (Feb. 11). A William Tell reenactment.

It really wasn't as hard as I thought. We were just careful with the testing. (We shot a water bottle out of someone's hand first.) A couple of adjustments, by a little bit each time.

Here are a couple of other videos we shot last night:

Automatic Firing Sequence

Half Court Shooting

Harlem Shake

Testing the RGB light strip
