Re: Tem 973 Pruhzents: SKYSTALKER-ER
That would have been a great second pick at almost any PNW district.

Would probably be a 1st seed robot @ a bunch of events...

That's actually quite good. The shooter appears to be faster than 254's was. Are the intake wheels the same ones you used this year? |

That was hilarious. Good luck at Madtown! |

Re: Tem 973 Pruhzents: SKYSTALKER-ER
Maybe I'm just not seeing it, but what causes the ball to be pushed up and out the shooter? Is it the action of the intake folding in all the way that causes this, or is there a separate mechanism to push it upward when it's time to shoot?

This is pretty clearly built to be a finisher, like 254 was for the most part. |

Re: Tem 973 Pruhzents: SKYSTALKER-ER
I'm really proud of the 973 crew for making this robot work so well. The robot was made in about two shop days total, and I feel is within the skill set of most FRC teams.
More details will follow later. |

This whole robot was an exercise in prototyping primarily, the fact that we get to compete with two of them at one of the most competitive offseason events is just a bonus. |
Re: Tem 973 Pruhzents: SKYSTALKER-ER
I've been wondering for a while...
What is up with 973's intake wheels? Are those lego mindstorm wheels?? |
Re: Tem 973 Pruhzents: SKYSTALKER-ER
This is definitely the best FRC parody of an FRC parody I have seen.

Re: Tem 973 Pruhzents: SKYSTALKER-ER
So does this offseason event revive the game from 1 year ago? Seeing as the event is holding the 2014 game in a 2015 offseason event. Or did the event coordinator decide they didn't like recycle rush so they went back to Aerial Assist?

Re: Tem 973 Pruhzents: SKYSTALKER-ER
That'll make an excellent finisher for sure
Have a quick look at your shot angles and speeds. If your shot accuracy is reasonable, there is one combination that will let you shoot from against the low goal (as shown), or from ~30" out from the low goal (one robot width). That last shot can be *really* useful against in a pushing match against defense! |
Re: Tem 973 Pruhzents: SKYSTALKER-ER
realized video was shaky and cropped, so I fixed it and its all better now.

Looks good, watch for 5817's reveal later this week.

The fact that that robot actually works better then anything my team has ever built is kinda sad.

The tires are 1.9 and 2.2 Chisels from Proline, on Axial 1.9 and 2.2 8 Hole beadlock hubs. We directly hex broach the axial hubs (which yes, unfortunately means you have to buy new hubs each year for comp bot for an essentially COTS part). |

Guess it's just a practice thing, I remember it getting easier over time but it still seemed to be a pain. Better lighting might have helped. |
Re: Tem 973 Pruhzents: SKYSTALKER-ER
Very nice! It looks (and performs?) frighteningly like a simplified 254 robot... Just shows how much good design can get you, even if 'build quality' isn't the finest.

Re: Tem 973 Pruhzents: SKYSTALKER-ER
Its weird to think about how this video session started almost 3 years ago when 118 just wanted to print some copies.

Re: Tem 973 Pruhzents: SKYSTALKER-ER
After looking at that robot a little more it occurred to me that there must be some complex math driving the angle of that curved back. I was woundering if someone might be able to outline that for me.

Not complicated at all ;) Could be laid out by hand easily w/ some straight edges, some string and a marker. |

Re: Tem 973 Pruhzents: SKYSTALKER-ER
Can you post some documentation about the process of building this? I think this would shed some light on the prototyping process of the best of teams.

Re: Tem 973 Pruhzents: SKYSTALKER-ER
We have a series of pictures on our flicr account that we will release soon. Stay tuned.
|
Re: Tem 973 Pruhzents: SKYSTALKER-ER
Love it, makes me regret all that energy spent working on a less effective robot in 2014.
|
Re: Tem 973 Pruhzents: SKYSTALKER-ER
That video was beautiful... Really liked the design of the robot; best of luck at Madtown Throwdown!
