Code Orange 3476 2013 Robot Reveal "Mavericks" (Better Late Than Never)
 

Code Orange 3476 would like to present "Mavericks," our 2013 robot.

It is not shown well in the video, but we have a fast pre or post buzzer 10 point hanger.

The video's a little late, as we ran out of time during the season. :o

Feel free to ask questions and see you at championship! :]

We will be in the Newton division.

Fantastic as always! Love the autonomous

Re: Code Orange 3476 2013 Robot Reveal "Mavericks" (Better Late Than Never)
 

Arguably one of the best teams above 3000, your robots always look awesome and perform awesome. Great job!

Re: Code Orange 3476 2013 Robot Reveal "Mavericks" (Better Late Than Never)
 

Thanks! I like your robot too!

Thanks!

I saw your robot in 2012, and was very impressed by it. I see this robot and am blown away by it. That autonomous is killer. Great job guys, and I can't wait to see it in action again.

I am sitting here and as I watch, only one word comes to mind......"WOW"

Re: Code Orange 3476 2013 Robot Reveal "Mavericks" (Better Late Than Never)
 

Glad you guys nailed the 7 disc auto. Looks great, I will have to keep an eye on the newton webcast.

Easily one of the best autonomous modes out there. What kind of sensors do you guys use in it?

Re: Code Orange 3476 2013 Robot Reveal "Mavericks" (Better Late Than Never)
 

We use encoders on the drivetrain to see how far we have driven, and a gyro to make sure we are driving straight. On the flywheel there is a 1 tick/rotation encoder to keep the shooter consistent. All of these are controlled by PID loops.

Very creative use of the middle goal in auto. I'm always highly impressed both by your robot quality and the quality of the videos you guys produce. That Benny Benassi song is really becoming your official theme now.

very nice clean robot code orange the design of your robots the past two years have greatly impressed me, will your team be competing in St. Louis?

Re: Code Orange 3476 2013 Robot Reveal "Mavericks" (Better Late Than Never)
 

Yes, we will. We were in the finals of Inland Empire and lost to the Holy Cows alliance. We got a wildcard from the Cow's San Diego Chairman's.

Only a few days until matches start and we've been practicing. I really wanna see a 280-300pt game. :D

Re: Code Orange 3476 2013 Robot Reveal "Mavericks" (Better Late Than Never)
 

Do you guys have an autonomous that scored/picks up both the discs under the pyramid and the center line?

Re: Code Orange 3476 2013 Robot Reveal "Mavericks" (Better Late Than Never)
 

Looks great! I especially like your autonomous flexibility. I look forward to seeing you later this week.

Re: Code Orange 3476 2013 Robot Reveal "Mavericks" (Better Late Than Never)
 

No, there is simply not enough time to shoot 3 discs, get 4 more, aim and shoot, get 4 more, and aim and shoot again. If you have a video of anyone doing this I'd love to see it.

Thanks. I'm excited to see your robot in competition!
