Re: VEXpro Build Blitz
 

Our first scheduled Q&A has been postponed while we worth through some technical issues on the main Build Blitz feed. The individual team feeds are still up.

Re: VEXpro Build Blitz
 

We're back at it this morning with both teams' feeds live along with the main mix.

Live look-in #2 is on now and going in depth with some decisions from overnight.

Check it out on the main mix at www.buildblitz.com

Re: VEXpro Build Blitz
 

There is a shot of Paul and Karthik doing some hard core math on a white board. Can we get a description of what they were calculating?

On the JVN side there was CAD of a 72 tooth gear, something VEXpro does not make. Will this appear as a nse item, or is there a new base design?

Thanks

Re: VEXpro Build Blitz
 

VEXPro certainly does offer this gear.

Re: VEXpro Build Blitz
 

This is what I was talking about...

Re: VEXpro Build Blitz
 

Is their any chance that you guys will release your cads to the public of FRC designs?:D

Re: VEXpro Build Blitz
 

Yes, we'll be releasing all CAD files once they're complete.

Re: VEXpro Build Blitz
 

Oh wise one, whence is this 'complete CAD' of which you speak? ;)

Re: VEXpro Build Blitz
 

is the sound on copioli stream not working?

Re: VEXpro Build Blitz
 

The camera looking into the TeamCopioli CAD room is actually in the room next door because I refuse to turn off LL Cool J Radio on Pandora so the sound won't pick it up.

Regarding the drawings and CAD, the plan for TeamCopioli is to release all of the 3D CAD files and all of the drawings that we created for the build before the end of the day on Tuesday.

I'm only familiar with "Here's most of the CAD, the rest I got lazy and didn't add in, but you get the idea!"

:)

Very cool stuff! Watching the feeds for all these 3 day builds has been fun, can't wait to see the final results!

Re: VEXpro Build Blitz
 

"Complete" is a very relative term. (Anyone who has ever seen the 1114 CAD models know exactly what I mean.)

Re: VEXpro Build Blitz
 

Apologies if this was mentioned in the streams/chats/etc, I've only had time to tune in sporadically, and can't currently since I'm at work (hush, nobody tell my boss I'm on CD righ tnow). :rolleyes:

Quick question for team JVN (I have no twitter, which seems to be the preferred contact method?). Has the thought of the "lay-up"/easily caught shot been completely abandoned? I remember you were able to adjust the trajectory of your shot on your prototype by changing how the ball was held, the lever's initial point, and the release point. Did you ever try deflecting a (close to) vertical shot? Think 67 in 2006. It's likely far too late to add one to the final Build Blitz bot at this point, but it would be wonderful to see the prototype try a shot like this.

Re: VEXpro Build Blitz
 

We're back at it. Today's first look-in is live on the main mix at www.buildblitz.com

Sean,
I'll have Grant get back to you.
