Re: pic: 1083 - Evette

Re: pic: 1083 - Evette
 

You were right George, it's beautiful. I can't wait to see her put the moves on.

Nice! Is it very quick on picking the balls up off the ground?

Re: pic: 1083 - Evette
 

Where's George?

Re: pic: 1083 - Evette
 

yeah it is, we modified the fisherprice motors by taking out the last gear in the system, so they run about 3 times faster than the regular fisherprice. Then there is a 3 inch roller on that.

One word......Wow!

Re: pic: 1083 - Evette
 

How is your drivetrain? From the looks of it the entrance area for a ball is just wide enough to get it. Without a good drive system, you might run into issues actually getting the balls into ur corral.

well they have an omni holonic drive there.. so I imagine their drive is pretty good

Amazing bot.. and pretty to stair at.

Mayb your beauty will meet up with our beast later on this season.

We removed the hanging mechanism. Not because we were overweight, but because we felt we were overcomplicated. Plus, with all the hangers out there, we feel that it'll be pretty hectic up there already.

None of our pneumatics are plumbed yet. That includes the goal grabber, tee knocker, and 2x ball descorer.

Also, thanks to team 21 for hosting a video of our 'bot in action.

Congrats on building the robot I wanted to build, holonomic drive and all. I hope you do real well so I can say "I told you so" to the unbelievers on my team. I really hope you win your way to Atlanta, so I can see you in action.

Wheres his safty glasses??!

Re: pic: 1083 - Evette
 

We are just about always wearing them. But in this picture (after staying up for some 10 or more hours working) he isnt. Luckily nothing happened, he was just unscrewing somthing anyways. But the team knows me as the one who always yells at them to put thier glasses on.

Re: pic: 1083 - Evette
 

ANDREW!!!! You forgot to mention that, the ball knocker has a pneumatic spike imbedded in it, gosh silly you of all people should have remember that. Plus it was your idea. :)

Re: pic: 1083 - Evette
 

Charlie (our robot) also enjoys short autonomous routines and wants Evette to know that she can knock of his 2x multiplier anytime.

Re: pic: 1083 - Evette
 

That's a beautiful robot. I think it's totally rocking. And I can not wait to see it preform on the field at UCF. You guys would be a formitable opponent, and an awesome alliance to any one out there. Good luck guys!
