Re: Unique Designs

Team 4183 the Bit Buckets used the laser cutter at our build space, Xerocraft, to make a wooden robot that mines the landfill, and makes and caps stacks of four.

The laser cutter bed is only 29x17", so we had to use many pieces of wood bolted together to make the larger components. The drive base is three wood sheets long, and the elevator is three sheets tall. No glue used - it can be completely disassembled with a screwdriver.

It seems to have worked. We won the Arizona East regional as well as the Creativity Award.

That is a fairly unique design that is useful. Impressive design.

Re: Unique Designs

Since I have yet to see the PNW on here much, time for an update from up here :D

FRC 1318 has a cool step container auto Mechanism and their ally (and best friends, apparently) fold up their robot to fit into transport configuration. I have no idea how it works, but it does.

In that video you will also see my team (the beautiful black monstrosity)... we have a relatively unique claw- it's one of those little claws that just sticks in under the side of the tote, but then we stabilize it with a pneumatic foot, allowing us to (after modifications post the event in the video) still lift up to 6 totes

This video shows us with the foot working (nice closeup at about 45 seconds in), as well as our 3 tote auto, but on the blue alliance is 3218, with the weirdest claw/lifter ...thing... I have seen yet

1899, another PNW team, does a wood bot every year https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUrP...ature=youtu.be

948 has a scissor lift and 3 tote auto

And now for some cool non PNW robots

4334 has a tote flipper

sorry if I did some overkill, but this is what I do in my free time now so I find a lot of stuff

Re: Unique Designs

I personally thought 1522 (Defenders of The Multiverse) at the Virginia Regional was a very interesting design. Very exciting to watch them play. Also wonderful alliance partners in the Quarterfinals! I don't personally have a picture I can pull up at the moment.

Re: Unique Designs

195's Tech Valley redesign is remarkable and unique. Their entire elevator slides across their robot. This serves to both push stacks off the human loading platform that is their robot onto the scoring platform, as well as allow the arms to extend outside the robot to grab containers from the floor.
They also have a swerve drive and a small ramp that makes their human loading even more efficient.

Re: Unique Designs

I think we (4607 CIS) found a different way to move the totes...

4607 Reveal part 2...
