Team 1533 Robot Teaser
 

After a great deal of designing and difficult decision making, and lots of hard work, our students are ready to show you what they have. https://youtu.be/-bItWi9Jc0w Still have some work to do with ones and zeros but we are well underway. We will be competing in the North Carolina District. Good luck to all and above all have lots of hard fun!

I honestly don't know how to respond to this.

Re: Team 1533 Robot Teaser
 

Genius! This is probably the best drivetrain I've seen all year. It's simple, but lets you do everything without sacrificing a compact swerve drive.

Re: Team 1533 Robot Teaser
 

swank !

Re: Team 1533 Robot Teaser
 

Nice! How much does that weigh?

This is the most unique drive train I've seen this year.

Re: Team 1533 Robot Teaser
 

uhhh, what he said.

Re: Team 1533 Robot Teaser
 

The base with both drives, all the controls and the Dart lift weighs in at 81 lbs. The Stinger and arms all the way down to the pivot weigh 29 pounds.

Re: Team 1533 Robot Teaser
 

This is actually amazing

Re: Team 1533 Robot Teaser
 

That's ridiculous. I like it a lot!

Bold prediction - This robot will be on Einstein.

Re: Team 1533 Robot Teaser
 

What and how many motors are you using for the swerve and the rhino tank drive trains?

Re: Team 1533 Robot Teaser
 

10 motors total. 4 AndyMark gearmotors to steer swerve, 4 cims to drive swerve and 2 mini cims to drive tank treads.

Re: Team 1533 Robot Teaser
 

Left me speechless after the first time I watched it had to replay it several times truly amazing love the swank drive

Re: Team 1533 Robot Teaser
 

I love it!!!!!

Re: Team 1533 Robot Teaser
 

Forget just this year, I don't think I've ever seen something quite like this. This is the weird precipice between insane and innovative.

Re: Team 1533 Robot Teaser
 

That is amazing!

Re: Team 1533 Robot Teaser
 

This thing is wild, great job 1533!

Re: Team 1533 Robot Teaser
 

all i have to say is: what

Re: Team 1533 Robot Teaser
 

At first I thought this was a troll... but when I saw the actual robot I forgot how to breathe

Re: Team 1533 Robot Teaser
 

Hm. It seems we may need to add the ability to select more than one drivetrain on our pit scouting program. Although, I'm not sure how often that will be necessary.

Re: Team 1533 Robot Teaser
 

Wow! I thought it was a joke video then I was amazed! That is impressive. And you get to name a new drivetrain type: Swank Drive!

Re: Team 1533 Robot Teaser
 

Omg!!!! That is amazing. We had to decide between that and kit bot, we went kitbot. But actually though that is so sick.

Re: Team 1533 Robot Teaser
 

Well... I know that is possible now!

Re: Team 1533 Robot Teaser
 

Umm this is by far the most unique drive train I have ever seen. I LOVE IT! Another thing I really like about it, show the outside the box thinking out this team and I can not wait to see it in the game.

As my reaction as a whole, this is how I reacted :O . Wish I had thought of this whenever I was a student.

Re: Team 1533 Robot Teaser
 

Hmmm. I had this exact idea, couldn't do it because of limitted sponsorship, but I'm glad to see someone do it!

Re: Team 1533 Robot Teaser
 

Welp guess swank gets its own category on my reference material.

Re: Team 1533 Robot Teaser
 

Yeah! the Swank!

Re: Team 1533 Robot Teaser
 

+1

Re: Team 1533 Robot Teaser
 

"Oh haha thats funny, and they even cadde-oh lord it works..."

Hats off to yall. Well done robot.

Re: Team 1533 Robot Teaser
 

I like the drivetrain alot. Just a thought? How much battery do you pull throughout a 2:30 min span with all the motors?

Re: Team 1533 Robot Teaser
 

No hard data yet but not anticipating any more than the Recycle Rush bot moving and lifting. Its the same Swerve config and the only time the tank treads run is when activated to run over raised obstacles.

Re: Team 1533 Robot Teaser
 

Ok. Was just wondering out of curiosity.

Re: Team 1533 Robot Teaser
 

Found that we can conserve a lot if we curtail the celebratory spins after taking down a defense. :rolleyes:

Re: Team 1533 Robot Teaser
 

There is a lot of awesome in that drive train. It looks like it can operate with a couple of motors down too. How easy is it to repair the tracks and swerve modules during competitions?

I cannot wait to see this robot play in the NC districts!

Re: Team 1533 Robot Teaser
 

Tracks are completely open to bottom and back and pulleys drop out. Track motors/gears are on the back top. Swerve is modular, pull 4 frame bolts and they separate out. You can find the swerve details here: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...highlight=1533

Re: Team 1533 Robot Teaser
 

I can reassure you that the video is not a joke. Here is the real ScorpiuS...



However, I cannot confirm or deny whether or not his older brother is coming to the competitions...

Re: Team 1533 Robot Teaser
 

Re: Team 1533 Robot Teaser
 

I hope this gets to Einstein! Good luck guys, this is freaking awesome!

See you guys! Team 587 LOVES the drive train idea!

Re: Team 1533 Robot Teaser
 

Holy canoli, Batman! That drivetrain is no boondoggle, it's a mind-boggle!
