5407 has a really cool RC grabber that is made of huge cable carrier. They are on the red alliance here. It's at 5:38:45 if the link doesn't work.

Our robot has elements similar to a lot of other concepts but I haven't yet seen anything else exactly like it (Deployed input ramp, sideways can arm, internal stacker on platform, etc). Here's a video (Robot was running a bit weird because the gyro died again in this match): http://youtu.be/nr-I2IJhY8A

Your robot is great, it is a very well executed design which I suspect will find it's way to St. Louis. Well Done!

YES!

How does that thing even work?

IGUS cable chain used as an extension mechanism? Someone is either insane or very clever. Probably both.

Re: Unique Designs

Is there anyone with unique autonomous routines or systems??

Kinda disappointed by what I saw in week one.. Seems like a lot of teams ignored autonomous this year.

Both 236 and 237 had incredible autonomous routines this past weekend in Waterbury.

236 had a unique tote stack auto, and 237 had a unique step container auto.

And 987's autonomous routine was incredible.

Re: Unique Designs

Our robot won the Dallas Creativity Award for our lift's 360° turning capability and our "terrifying" arm mechanism, which was done by blending two robots into one. I suppose its name, Frankenbunny, fits well. :-)

Like this if I'm not mistaken

I can't remember if the wheels are Colsons or the Fairlane expandable wheels.

Re: Unique Designs

After watching FRCTop25 Premiere Night and some of the Week 1 competitions I am very impressed with the creative approach to this year's challenge (as well as the incredible skills of teams documenting their journey).

If you are a team with unique and innovative design, manufacturing, and/or control processes and are interested in the chance to be a part of the next book about FRC robots, please let Vince and I know! You can send a note to FRCBook2015@usfirst.org and we will forward details on the submittal process.

Good luck teams!

I saw that on the webcast and LOVED it. Really clever execution from a rookie! What a great way to kick off your team's history.

Re: Unique Designs

Anybody got anything on tem 4543 they seem to be hinting at something for a noodle manipulator.
That and they have a giant fan on their robot...

Unique, and it appears to work really well. I wonder how many more will have complete pickup mechanisms from under the stack? That thing is awesome.

In teleop we have written code for the robot to work in an Auto-Pilot Mode where it makes its own stacks and feeds them to the scoring platform only requiring our human player to feed it totes. i will try to find some video of it and post it later.
