Ounces are hard to come by...the back panel with the nameplate got put on the chopping block.

They have them on a whole lot of their robots, look at the bridge here and shooter here.

What is the story behind these? I have always wondered...

All our robots since 2008 have been named after Decepticons.

Re: Team 254 Presents: Overkill

10 pt after match hanger and 30 pt pto? How does it all fit inside that tiny robot? I take it the 10 is on gas shocks, and the 30's are something similar to how Titanium's 30pt hooks come out of the abyss of their robot?

How do you get pistons to raise post match?

If the double solenoids are fired the instant before the buzzer, the pressure will lift the robot.

Re: Team 254 Presents: Overkill

Because it uses pneumatics, as long as you tell it to start moving before power gets killed, it will keep moving until it reaches the end. another option is to use a single solenoid that is always down when no power is applied. That way you apply power to raise it, and no matter what it will always retract at the end. Our climber lock uses a mechanism like this to make it so our robot cannot fall.

Any chance of posting pictures of those pto drive train gearboxes?

Awesome robot, I think I will have to go to San diego to see this robot and 1538's.

It is actually a single solenoid, default retracted (hanging). When the robot is disabled, the solenoid power is cut and the piston retracts, raising the robot if the hooks are over the bar.

On a side note, is CIM really supposed to be pronounced like "sim"? We've always said "see eye em".

I'm also really interested in seeing those PTO gearboxes.

We call it "sim". It's faster to say. Most people say it the same way, I think, though some say CIM.
