Yes please. Did you just cut the wheel up, or did you remove the side and replace it with some custom hub?

Re: Australia is coming! 4613 robot release
 

custon hub, i will check with the team today, to bring it in the regional for you

So you sense the presence of the totes in the correct position and lift? Watching your video again, I see a number of little mechanical stops that help get the totes to a consistent location before they are lifted. Very clever. Does this help prevent the stack of totes stay more stable as you drive around? There wasn't any shots of your robot driving more than a foot with a tall stack of totes.

It looks like your robot does what Stretchy and Fetch does but can drive around and what 148 does without needing a tether. It would be cool to see you and these other great teams playing together on the same field.

Re: Australia is coming! 4613 robot release
 

Yep, we can stack automatically with a system which waits for the tote to be in the right position. There isn't much clever about it, just waiting for the tote to settle.

We can drive around fairly easily with a full stack. Remains to be seen how this goes with the pressure of competition though!

Well thought out strategies.
And the autonomous. Let me quote MARS James

Re: Australia is coming! 4613 robot release
 

There are a number of robots that can build big stacks but most of them have to "tiptoe" around with the stack to avoid spilling it. So far, it only looks like one robot can drive at full speed with a full stack of 6 totes and a recycling container. It is a good sign that yours looks pretty stable so far.

Will there be any webcasts of the Australian Regional? I don't really have to sleep on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday night. ;)

Re: Australia is coming! 4613 robot release
 

There sure will be! I will find out the URL and post it here later.

Re: Australia is coming! 4613 robot release
 

I think we'll need more recycling containers when we play together.

Re: Australia is coming! 4613 robot release
 

i hope you can grab some more! :)

Re: Australia is coming! 4613 robot release
 

You'll find out in 24 hours. ;)

Re: Australia is coming! 4613 robot release
 

That is an amazing robot. What a cool idea for storing the cans! Can't wait to see this compete.
