Absolutely amazing. Robot to release video to the team in general, it's hard not to appreciate whatever MakeShift puts out. Big props to everyone on the team and it's a shame you wont be competing in NYC after all the fun we had last year! Good luck, 334 will surely be rooting for you all. :)

Awesome bot, awesome music, and an awesome reveal video! The container set at the end had me laughing out loud.

Re: MakeShift 4039 Robot Reveal 2015 - ROY G BIV
This is going to sound totally weird but I have a crush on 4039. I've never had a crush on any human before except Anna Kendrick, but I have a crush on 4039. This is so cool. *fangirls*

Thanks for burning that song into my head!
Hilarious song, potentially great robot combination. Too bad I won't see it in person this year until Champs. |

Do I see an Einstein paring with 148?

Re: MakeShift 4039 Robot Reveal 2015 - ROY G BIV
Haha perfect finish

Re: MakeShift 4039 Robot Reveal 2015 - ROY G BIV
I've seen a lot of reveal videos in my time (haven't we all...), but this is easily in my top 5 of favourites.

Re: MakeShift 4039 Robot Reveal 2015 - ROY G BIV
I was really impressed by the entirety of your team after getting to work with you in St. Louis last year. 4039 is the real deal and I'm glad to see you put out another competitive machine. I especially love how you incorporated your team branding into the robot's design and name. Best of luck to you this season!

Count me in as a member of the 4039 fan club. We've worked closely with these guys over the years and they never fail to impress me. I love the robot, the video, and the team branding.

Re: MakeShift 4039 Robot Reveal 2015 - ROY G BIV
Another fantastic entry from 4039. You guys quickly have become one of my favorite teams to follow.
Nice job! -Brando |
Re: MakeShift 4039 Robot Reveal 2015 - ROY G BIV
This design balances simplicity and functionaly really well !
I'm already putting together a plan this offseason to play with tethers and multiple robots. I have a feeling that the GDC has fully embraced tethered robots. Do you have any detail on your tether ? |
Re: MakeShift 4039 Robot Reveal 2015 - ROY G BIV
This is my favorite robot this year due to the elegant use of COTS components to build a super effective robot. Great work guys!

Do the forks on BIV get out of the way so that robots other than ROY can pick up from it? How is BIV controlled? Did you bag the "mechanisms" for manipulating the RC's too? :D |
Re: MakeShift 4039 Robot Reveal 2015 - ROY G BIV
I have to say thank you. The picture and video of your stacker helped us solve a really blindingly obvious problem with our stacker fingers.
We actually had some door hinges and poly-carb in our shop so when we met tonight to continue working on our fingers we came in with a fresh idea and you're team's stacker gave us the inspiration we needed to solve a big problem! Great robot(s) and good luck this season! |
Re: MakeShift 4039 Robot Reveal 2015 - ROY G BIV
Awesome robot. Good luck at comps. #teamtether

Re: MakeShift 4039 Robot Reveal 2015 - ROY G BIV
Incredible execution and absolutely beautiful simplicity. I'm floored. Incredible job.
There are some robots that amaze me with their technical gizmos and crazy cool complex ideas, and there are other robots that accomplish huge tasks of the game in a breathtakingly simple, elegant, and polished manner. The latter robots, like these by 4039, make me feel really, really stupid. I love this machine. Please don't beat us too hard at Finger Lakes. :) |
Re: MakeShift 4039 Robot Reveal 2015 - ROY G BIV
Awesome robot. Nice touch on the end. :p

Re: MakeShift 4039 Robot Reveal 2015 - ROY G BIV
Thanks to all of you for your kind comments. In response to some questions:
lynca - our current tether system utilizes 25 ft of 10 gauge wire pair (to limit voltage drop) running in a split nylon corrugated loom protective sleeve. This is after we tried many alternatives including retracting extension cords, expandable sleeving, coiled pneumatic tubing, home-made festoon systems, and spring-loaded dog leashes. Many of these may be good options for moving in a limited area but we want ROY to be able to reach the co-op STEP if our alliance partners cannot. We'll continue to test alternate solutions (including wheel/gear mud guards, BIV-mounted fishing poles, etc) leading up to our first competition. philso - yes, BIV's forks move upwards to clear room for fork-out-front-style robots other than ROY to access stacks. However, we've found mecanum wheels don't play nicely with our current tether system. BIV's vertical is driven by a single motor whose controller is mounted to ROY. Our second driver controls raise/lower manually. PayneTrain - good luck at Palmetto and Virginia. If both our teams make it to World's we'll gladly trade you shirts. JohnF - glad to hear you could use the idea. Hardware store door hinges are a bit makeshift but if they work, why not? Good luck to all teams competing in week 1 - work hard and have fun! |
I like the bin pull method best.

Re: MakeShift 4039 Robot Reveal 2015 - ROY G BIV
Great Bot, you chose a really uncommon design that seems to be very effective :)
I look foward to playing with you again some day. |
Re: MakeShift 4039 Robot Reveal 2015 - ROY G BIV
Outstanding!!! I love how you have a tethered 2nd half! Great Job!
