picking up the tubs
ok after a few trys of knocking the wall down almost all of the tubs end up on their side. How are some of you people thinking as far as being able to pick these up
Thanks |
we r thinking of using a forklift type of design, pully activated, mayb pnumatic. we are also tryin to see what we can do with suction cups. we don thinks arms r the way to go thou.

only problem with sunction is the fact that the containers are grainy not smooth there for loosing alot of its efficiancy
|
That information is classified.
I think most teams would be reluctant to share these kind of design solutions so early in the DESIGN phase of the game. Look for these answers in 3 weeks. Greg Is telepathic levetation out of the question? |
On roughly the same topic, someone asked me how I thought we were going to do the autonomous programming.
"Easy. We're just going to make the robot fully cogniscent. Then I can tell it our strategy and it can decide what is best with our situation." Did someone say faith in programmers? |
The MOE team is comming up with a very top secret design, but I can tell you these things:
1) It involves the containers. 2) It involves a stack of 22 containers 3) It involves a mysterious force that surrounds us... and binds us... That is all I am at liberty to say... :D |
Moe does it again.
22 baskets ?? thats amazing you guys always go for the biggest and best object of the game...im excited to see what you guys are gonna put out ... remember us ?? 651 ? runner up alliance with you at brunswick eruption and deul on the delaware. Good luck
|
haha moe yes and it if it fails to work the first match it will for sure work the next right hahaha anyways you guys have the most courageous no holds barred ideas out there good luck this year
|
I have some "insider" information about moe's robot. Aparrently it will be "lime green" and will have two top secret devices called "wings".
|
watch out now revealing that kind of information might have a penalty. Can you say death by moe sticks???? not only painful but also noisy

MOE's Mechanism
One of the other mentors on the team was as perplexed as I'm sre most of you were about my previous post...
During our brainstorming, the method I described was one of my ideas that didn't make it past the cutting room floor. Our drive team was going to use The Force to stack boxes much like Luke Skywalker did in The Empire Strikes Back. But the MOE Green 'bot should still be able to pull a surprise out of that top-hat yet! I'll tell you how we do it. Meet up with me either at the Chesapeak Reagional, the Philadelphia Alliance Regional, or the Championship Event in the 365 pits, and I'll give you the down-low on any part of the MOEv2003 'bot you want! :D Note: MOEv2003 is not yet the official name... we don't pick that until we can take a break after shipping. GOOD LUCK, ALL! |
The TIGERTRONS CLAW is currently under lock and key sorry for not giving you any helpful ideas.....
You will just have to wait and see our CLAW at either Philly, Pheonix, or Rutgers!!! |
What about the super arm?
I'm wondering if anyone is trying the "super arm" that was on the kickoff animation?
The crates being all on their sides is a major problem, and MOE's "wings" aren't a far cry from our little creation, I'd imagine they're either going to knock down the whole wall at once, or blockade the ramp or...both. |
that'd be absurd to make that super arm.. plus controlling it would be very hard.
|
The CG on an arm that big would be absurd, it would be very easy to take a robot like that down unless they are anchord the the hill.
