Absolutely love it.

Another fantastic robot from you guys!

Re: Team Titanium 1986 Robot Reveal for 2016 Stronghold
 

What a beast.

You guys have been building beastly robots for a while.. ever since I saw you guys at the Newton division in 2013 I've always been waiting to see your next product!

Re: Team Titanium 1986 Robot Reveal for 2016 Stronghold
 

Holy autonomous. Having that many different modes will be a HUGE advantage throughout most every part of the season. What an incredible machine. Best of luck.

Re: Team Titanium 1986 Robot Reveal for 2016 Stronghold
 

Eerily similar to 118's robot this year, with a different climber. Another great robot!

Re: Team Titanium 1986 Robot Reveal for 2016 Stronghold
 

Looking good guys! Looks like we wont be the only member of the 20 plus auton modes club at smoky mountain week 5. Look forward to seeing you there and hopefully we will finally get to share the same side of the alliance glass this year. ;)

Re: Team Titanium 1986 Robot Reveal for 2016 Stronghold
 

Great Robot as always. Saw you guys at your open house and you didn't have the climber on there yet. Good to see that I was right that some kind of mechanism was in the works. It looks to be quite efficient as always good luck in KC and at Smokey Mountain.

Re: Team Titanium 1986 Robot Reveal for 2016 Stronghold
 

Awesome robot all around. Great to see a CDF and Portcullis autonomous!

Re: Team Titanium 1986 Robot Reveal for 2016 Stronghold
 

As always, what a robot. Titanium knocks it out of the park again.

Sad that we won't get to play with you guys until Champs at the earliest. Good luck at your events and we'll for sure see you in the off-season.

Re: Team Titanium 1986 Robot Reveal for 2016 Stronghold
 

This intake/catapult/defense arm configuration is my favorite design approach this year, and you guys completely nailed reducing it to the simplest components to do the job well. You seem to do it for every game... fantastic design again!

Re: Team Titanium 1986 Robot Reveal for 2016 Stronghold
 

Wow, that auton is spectacular. This robot is beautiful. I love the versatility of your autonomous mode, and the way your mechanisms passively handle most of the defenses, as well as the smoothness with which you drive over even the roughest defenses.

Does your autonomous cheval-de-frise crossing actively detect when you have approached the defense, or do you just drive a set distance and hope it's right?

Fantastic job, I'm looking forward to seeing this great robot play (even if I only get to watch it on webcasts from college).

Re: Team Titanium 1986 Robot Reveal for 2016 Stronghold
 

The CDF edge is detected by a sensor on the tip of the manipulator. The crossing is automated, even in teleop.

Re: Team Titanium 1986 Robot Reveal for 2016 Stronghold
 

I thought it looked that way, but I wasn't sure. That's an awesome system!

Re: Team Titanium 1986 Robot Reveal for 2016 Stronghold
 

How are you getting multiple release angles out of the catapult? Is it done using only the solenoids?

Re: Team Titanium 1986 Robot Reveal for 2016 Stronghold
 

No. The catapult is driven by two stacked pairs of cylinders. In the close range shot, only one pair is used, in the long range shot, both pairs fire simultaneously. The two shot ranges overlap, so our resulting range is full.

Re: Team Titanium 1986 Robot Reveal for 2016 Stronghold
 

Love the use of 4 tape measures! Are they the fat max kind?

Re: Team Titanium 1986 Robot Reveal for 2016 Stronghold
 

Surprisingly, no. We found some even more rigid.

Re: Team Titanium 1986 Robot Reveal for 2016 Stronghold
 

...100% taking a close look at this robot when it comes to Greater KC. 25 different auto modes? What madness is this?

Re: Team Titanium 1986 Robot Reveal for 2016 Stronghold
 

We realized later it was 27, but that would sound far fetched. :D

Re: Team Titanium 1986 Robot Reveal for 2016 Stronghold
 

which were?

Re: Team Titanium 1986 Robot Reveal for 2016 Stronghold
 

Did you guys use the Milwaukee Tape Measures? Those are what we use

For the uptake did you guys just attach it to the drive train and then basically use a shifter that uses one for driving then the other for lifting the robot.

Re: Team Titanium 1986 Robot Reveal for 2016 Stronghold
 

Very rigid. :D

Re: Team Titanium 1986 Robot Reveal for 2016 Stronghold
 

Not Milwaukee, but those were good too.
Yes the lift is powered by a PTO from the drive transmissions.

Re: Team Titanium 1986 Robot Reveal for 2016 Stronghold
 

Re: Team Titanium 1986 Robot Reveal for 2016 Stronghold
 

Where did you guys find those awesome green wheels?! Can't wait to see it in person at champs! Amazing job guys!

Re: Team Titanium 1986 Robot Reveal for 2016 Stronghold
 

Looks like it. From the video it seems like there are two tape measures on each side.

Re: Team Titanium 1986 Robot Reveal for 2016 Stronghold
 

Most Mountain Board shops sell them. We are finding that they can wear quickly though with aggressive driving.

Re: Team Titanium 1986 Robot Reveal for 2016 Stronghold
 

If only we could have all the boulders to ourselves like we do in practice. :D

Re: Team Titanium 1986 Robot Reveal for 2016 Stronghold
 

Wow that was unreal. Absolutely amazing well done. Another great robot from you guys. Can't wait too see what you guys do at champs, Good luck!

Re: Team Titanium 1986 Robot Reveal for 2016 Stronghold
 

Love the robot. You make it look so effortless. Do you have any pics of the catapult, specifically at the pivot point. I would love to see the pistons up close!

Re: Team Titanium 1986 Robot Reveal for 2016 Stronghold
 

Lots of close-ups in our reveal video linked at the beginning of this thread.
I think what you want to see is best exhibited at 45 seconds in.

Re: Team Titanium 1986 Robot Reveal for 2016 Stronghold
 

Here's the best pic I have handy. PM me if you are interested in more.

How did you attach the two pistons together? Or stack them?
