There are other ways to position your robot, however. |

If anything, the fact that 254 can possess all 3 of their alliances starting balls at once is the real advantage here. Who cares if they score them? Just not having to chase one or two down for the first 20 seconds of the match is enough of an advantage. |
Re: Team 254 Presents: Barrage
Wow... lots of cool stuff going on. I wonder how many cubic inches worth of air reservoir tanks are on this robot.
I've been staring at that top deflector linkage for a while. When the cylinder retracts, it angles away from the shooter to assume a steeper angle, right? At first glance I thought it was for achieving a lower angle shot, so now I don't know the purpose of that thing. They appear to be in their lower angle position for the autonomous shots, which is already a pretty high angle. Maybe they wanted even a higher angle yet for a truss pass. There's a CIM visible through the smoked polycarbonate whose purpose I cannot discern. I hope we can qualify for the Championship just so I can look at this thing in person for a couple of minutes. Thanks for posting and warping my mind a bit. |

At approximately 6.5 points/sec it is a bit of a shame that you have to play teleop.
If you were able to keep up the points per second rate from auto in teleop, you would score approximatlely 975 points by the end of a full match. |

Re: Team 254 Presents: Barrage
Clean robot, as usual! Some clever use of pneumatic linkages and latches, very cool. I like how the deflector for the shooter is just floating up in the air on the end of a big moving frame.
I noticed a sponsor sticker on your robot that I haven't seen before... Team Whyachi. How is that working out? Do you have a rotational kinetic mechanism we can't see, or perhaps a new walking drivetrain? |
Re: Team 254 Presents: Barrage
A really impressive robot. I like how the design is centered around the 3 ball capability for autonomous. This would definitely provide you with the flexibility to pickup from both sides in tight defensive situations. Amazing as always, Poofs!

What are those gray covers on the pneumatics tubing just before it goes into the fittings?

Most importantly, they are super fast. DXF's were sent to them Sunday night, parts cut and shipped out Monday AM within hours. They stock most sizes of aluminum you would need, and can perform other full shop services as needed. They are very affordable because they charge based on actual hours spent, not an upfront quote, and the rates are not too high. I have known Terry as a friend/competitor for a decade, and had them also do work for FRC190 when I was a mentor over there. -Paul Ventimiglia |

Great Machine as Always.
Good luck to 254 this weekend. |

Will the build blog for 2014 be released?

Hey, so have you guys posted a video of that fantabulous catcher yet? I haven't seen it in action all season!

Re: Team 254 Presents: Barrage
Fantastic robot! Awesome two way intake. Surprised nobody that I heard of tried to block your auto after sharing what it basically does and how. However, as long as nobody blocks that, super effective. Also must be nice to not have to turn around the bot to intake the ball. :)

Re: Team 254 Presents: Barrage
Does anyone know what autonomous mode 254 used in match 138? It seems as if it was a driver controlled autonomous to juke 2648's blocker.

But you've got to wonder with those huge cylinders if they really do open up all the way: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/img...fb3db32c_l.jpg I'm dying to know! |

Re: Team 254 Presents: Barrage
I walked over to the 254 when they were sitting around and doing nothing in the Curie queue and got a closer look at their robot's wiring. I even got to touch it a little bit.
I'll be telling my grandchildren about that in 50 years. |
