That is one beautiful robot.

Looks great! Can't wait to see it at VCU this year! :D

Re: Team Rembrandts 2015 Reveal
 

Compact, and it works great.
Good job!

Re: Team Rembrandts 2015 Reveal
 

Can't wait to see this machine in action!

Re: Team Rembrandts 2015 Reveal
 

Looks like a very cool robot. Do you have a second robot to practice with?

Re: Team Rembrandts 2015 Reveal
 

Looks great, love the use of the 3D printed parts!

Re: Team Rembrandts 2015 Reveal
 

awesome robot!

Re: Team Rembrandts 2015 Reveal
 

Thanks!

We've made a practice bot. But this is our first year with a robot almost completely out of sheet metal, and we had some drawing mistakes in cad etc. So some holes didn't align that good, design changed a bit during the build season.

So the practice bot isn't a good compare between the two but because we have some big fairs and demonstrations while our robot will be in America we're trying to make third robot.
We're talking with our sponsors at the moment.

Here is a picture so you can see the changes we've made.

Wow! What an incredible robot! I don't think I've seen any team's mechanism work so smoothly. I can't wait to meet you guys at the Virginia Regional!

One thing that I wasn't sure about in the video: can your robot pick the bins up when they have fallen over and place them on a stack?

Re: Team Rembrandts 2015 Reveal
 

we are still working on that, but it's not yet working as smoothly as the rest of the robot :yikes:

Re: Team Rembrandts 2015 Reveal
 

See you at the Virginia regional! It will be a really fun year!

Re: Team Rembrandts 2015 Reveal
 

This is a fantastic looking robot. I will definitely be stopping by to look at it in Richmond.

The high quality of your design and execution make it hard to believe that this is only your third year in FRC. The attention to detail is amazing! All those 3D printed parts...

What are those "collars" around the end of the small motors for? Protect the motor terminals? Are those ultrasonic sensors installed in the 3D printed mounts on your chassis below the air tanks? What are those for?

Re: Team Rembrandts 2015 Reveal
 

Hi Philso,
The Collars are used to protect the solder connections on the cables when they are pulled. This way your soldered connections won't break that fast when prototyping.

Ultrasonic sensors are indeed placed below the airtanks, they are used for some extra sensing.
Thanks for your interest!
