Let's Start Posting Pictures!
 

Let's start posting pictures guys! I'm curious to see what other have come up with.

Here's a pic of the motor mounts for the drill motors! Notice the heatsync :).

-anton

ps. i wonder if the chiapuas want heatsyncs too :)

Is the heatsink attached to the plastic part? It might not do much good if it is. Otherwise- cool machining.

Let's POST some tEASers!
 

they're really just motor mounts. But we added the "wings" on the drill motors. I do not believe the plastic gets warm, so I am unsure what you are referring to. In any case, thanks! The wings do look cool. :)

-anton

ps. EVERYONE POST SOME TEASERS!

Ok - a second look reveals that I'm a schmuck who needs to look better at the pics before opening my big mouth. :)

I see what's up now - you have two pieces, one grabs the motor, the other holds the gearbox. I thought you had put a sink on the gearbox, which would seem quite useless.

i guess i'll post a picture. this is all i want to post at the moment. anyone know what it's for? Enjoy!!!:D :cool:

I'm going to ask that if you are going to put images on this thread, link from an outside source, or upload to the image gallery. Doing this will keep the forum backup downtime smaller.


The forum backup could potentially take quite a long time if there are tons of unnecessary attachments (which are stored in the database).


So --

link from an outside source (your own website, etc) - OR - upload to the image gallery, and then link from then.

If you can't do those, then attach to the post ...

Thanks :)

(im just avoiding a thread with 45 omages attached to it ..)

would that be your drive tread?

2002 robot
 

Here is a possible picture of the TechnoKats 2002 robot...we'll let you decide if it is legitimate...you'll just have to wait till we release pics........






*There will be no replies to questions regarding this picture that relate to design or any aspect of the pic*

I see something
 

I see tank treads
!!!!!!!!!!11



AT least i think anyway

you guys have IMed me that pic about 5 times now.:cool: looks a lot like the robot from 2001. Andy, what happend to all this talk about sharing designs this year?:confused: j/k :D

A sneak peak . . .

No explanation will be offered. :D

Patrick

MMMMMmmmmmmmm cmon fellas, i give you give?

-anton :cool:

Re: 2002 robot
 

Can I ask what program you did that in?

hahaha

check the Picture Gallery out.
 

I hoped to get pictures on our webpage www.tahsroboticsteam.org. Our server will not let us log on for some reason. But anyway we hope to have some posted soon. I have 2 pics posted of this years bot posted in the 2002 Robot section though.

I also got a pic of me that was taken today.
<---------------Right here.

This will show up at regionals
 

:rolleyes:

NO! haha, actually ours is very very cool, but the problem is that it is still under NDA, until ship day, then I will show it off =)

Firstly,,,That looked like a nice cart in the last picture..


Secondly, In the post with the link to the four pictures with the omni-directional wheels -----

I hope you guys have fun ball-gabbing...your frame is built for it


HAppy hunting


Gabe

what?
 

What are you saying looks like a cart????

Re: check the Picture Gallery out.
 

Not to be off topic, but Linux works great for web serving. There is a program that will allow you to login to a locked out NT server. Unfortunately my brain is in robot mode now, and not PC TEch mode, do a quick search on google, and you'll find it.

We've had nothing but success hosting our little site:
http://wihs.zapto.org/first/

Speaking of which, you can see our END OF WEEK 3 Pics on the photographs page. We've progressed since then, but we're only going to allow 1 week old pics until the crate date. ;^P

We post a picture, amazingly we have nearly the same wheels!! I saw that design on the wonderful Wildstang last year. We tried the Delrin O-rings first but that lasted only a total of 7 minutes until the feild was littered with o-rings. We then went to Aluminum like yours and then put a knurl pattern on it. Now we are on the edge of traction, carpet damage.

here is a pic of Cyber Blue's 2002 Control System...

OK Here is a spy phot of 1/4 of the Pegasus 4.0 Drive System
Interchangeable with 1 nut and bolt. It is a complete subsystem that we actually have had time to make spares of. All spur gears, all welded(except the brass gear its pinned and green loctited)
Knurled aluminum rollers

The goal and ball grabbers are still undercover till next week

Just food for thought: Can your robot grab a goal......

.....that's spinning

Hmmm hope I didn't give away too much

Nice heatsink.

TO WernerNYK
 

Where in the world did you get the wheels in the picture???

Are they from Skyway??
Or are they from Small parts??
???:confused:

the wheels in the pic
 

heheh.....:D

those are old Power Wheels wheels...we had an old "jeep" sitting around b/c we wanted to use the motors one day...well, we used them there....that was just our prototype/practice robot....we got that thing built in a day during our first week in order to test and familiarize ourselves with everything (We are a rookie team, after all :cool: )

Re: TO WernerNYK
 

A huge cnc machine.

Going back to topic, I think it's great that people start posting pictures. However, please post them in the gallery section of this forum, and put them in the 2002 robots gallery.

It's the middle of 5th week already, and most people are working hard to finish their robots. So you won't have to worry about ideas being stolen or whatever.

Maybe some rookie or beginners team will benefit from looking at the pictures, and learn something about building robust robots, and how a robot is designed.

Post More
 

Post more!
If I had a camera I would post all of my pictures.
Don't hold back now, it's not like anybody is going to copy your ideas this late in the game.

Custom PCA
 

How about a picture of our Custom PCA. We designed, etched (all by ourselves!) and in the picture in the process of populating it. And so far... IT Works!

(Hope this is the right size, I didn't want it to take forever to display.)

Best Wishes

It may be obvious but I was just wondering since were going to the same NJ regional, ur robot is designed for 2 goals/and or grab other robots???

Brian Team 56

Just a peek
 

Yes, all the material is on the additional hardware list. The custom circuit board helped us with the speech recognition.:D

Re: Just a peek
 

I have ALWAYS looked forward to see a good robot from the Gila monsters.... Now I am going to stop looking because I think this "robot" of yours will be the best you will ever build. In the future years, you won't have to modify your design anymore... It WILL work for all the competition.

I look forward to "inspect" your robot in LA. Have your bill of material ready. ;) ;) ;)

Wetzel

If you built it and don't know what it does than how can I tell you :D

Re: like U should talk....
 

Holy Cr@p! What happend there!?!? Well, I guess Turner dosen't want that page to get into the mentors hands...
I need to go talk to Michale...

Here is a sneak peak at TEAM 384's Robot....


Have a look at our frame and drive train!!!

Can anyone guess what we are doing.....ONce you guys get it right ....i'll post a pic of our full bot..


Gabe G.

(Team 384...dont give away anything...and I got turners permission)

Let me guess.....You are trying to make other teams jealous by not have to deal with weight issues by being a very light bot????

Darn Weight limit!

Actually...not really..

right now we are pushing 115...but there is more weight to come..I can for see it..lol

Gabe

A little game I propose...
 

Here's a little game...

Three ChiefDelphi posters are in that picture.
Here are the three names
James
ggoldman
Team384:JosephM

Guess...
Once I see the right answer, I'll tell you.:eek: :D :eek:

I know who they are!!!


LOLz

Once there is more interest in the robot picutres...i'll post up a new one...


Gabe

Looks to me like you are measuring for your dual goal grabbers - on either side of the bot... but thats just what it looks like :)

Tom

Isnt that what team 60 is doin?

We arent team 60...lolz

That is an incorrect guess...and i think we were remounting our drill motors in the pic..

Nice guess...and keep on trying

Gabe

Well our robot has gone through alot of changes since this picture, but its the best I can do now.

http://home.twcny.rr.com/mgraser/roboman.jpg

it can only hold 1 soccer ball at a time and no the guy in the green coat will not be riding along

SHOE!!!
 

Artic Warrior!!!A Shoe! You have a Shoe on your robot!!! Is that on the additional materials list??? Had we only know this before! The problems we could have avoided! Those whom the robot gods would destroy they first make crazy!!!! AAUUUGGGHH!!!

"you're saying we can look forward to robots behaving badly and demanding higher salaries." - Sally Forth

Here is my baby, wired her and made her all myself :D



All u get for now

Make sure your electrical board is covered well..we got water spilt on ours last year at nats...(we were in top ten at the time)

But accidents happen..and we learn ....o yes we learn...


LOL

GAbe

You can see our robot at any time at the New York City Regional or UTC New Haven Regional.

I have posted some of our early pictures. in the picture gallery.

you can't see it but this is the nice Dupont paint that changes 7 different shades of color from purple to gold.
