Mecanum intakes FTW.

Super clean bot Scott & co. You guys have a lot to be proud of here!

Can't wait to be competing with you guys at Hatboro-Horsham! It looks like a fantastic robot! :)

Re: Team Nemesis 2590 - 2014 Robot Bellerophon
 

Beautiful robot, Scott. Looking forward to seeing you guys continue last year's success.

Turned out very nice! Reminds me of a Pink + Simbot SS.

Re: Team Nemesis 2590 - 2014 Robot Bellerophon
 

Great looking robot, guys! 2590 has become one of my "teams to follow!" I'll be cheering you guys on from afar!

Re: Team Nemesis 2590 - 2014 Robot Bellerophon
 

Set to be one of the best bots in MAR, if not THE best :)

Re: Team Nemesis 2590 - 2014 Robot Bellerophon
 

Can't wait to see this beaut in person next week. It absolutely looks to be up to the standard I've come to expect from 2590.

Not to mention it hopefully won't have to repeatedly ram field elements to clear jams this year. ;)

Love the Sony camera on there! :)

Re: Team Nemesis 2590 - 2014 Robot Bellerophon
 

I love more teams using a mecanum collector, that makes three or four I know of so far.

Re: Team Nemesis 2590 - 2014 Robot Bellerophon
 

What advantage do the mecanums on the intake give you? Not sure I follow the thinking there.

Re: Team Nemesis 2590 - 2014 Robot Bellerophon
 

Because the contact force vector on a mecanum wheel is off-axis, they can orient them in a way that it provides not only collecting force, but also centers the ball while doing so.

Re: Team Nemesis 2590 - 2014 Robot Bellerophon
 

Along with this, we went with mecanums on our intake as an alternative to side-rollers on our intake; it really does make a difference when getting balls from not head-on angles.

Re: Team Nemesis 2590 - 2014 Robot Bellerophon
 

Once again great robot! I will definitely watch your week 1 competition!

Re: Team Nemesis 2590 - 2014 Robot Bellerophon
 

Very impressive today at HHHS. I was especially impressed in the match where you guys lost one of the mechanum wheels off the top of your shooter and were STILL ABLE to collect and score the balls. Awesome, robust, solid machine!
