Galileo scouting
 

Hey all Galileo members,

I thought that it would be nice if we could exchange team information, beaing gracious professionals and all. If everyone shares their, info, includes a picture, and lets everyone else know about their team in this thread, I promise to have an ALL-COMPREHENSIVE scout sheet that I will either pass out copies on floppies or give instructions to my pit where I can give you a floppy if you return it.

As a token of good will, here is some information (as an example for information)
Team 830

Re: Galileo scouting
 

Team 1218, CHAbots
Philadelphia Regional Delphi "Driving Tomorrow's Technology" award
4wd (CIMS)
Hanger and 2x baller
easily climbs stairs and hangs from first platform.

Re: Galileo scouting
 

-Team 812
-Midnight Mechanics
-Awards: Engineering Inspiration at SoCal
-2x/ hanger
-2 wheel drive: driven by 2 drills, front wheels
-Fiber glass pole attached to rope that's spun around a winch. As
winch unravels rope, a hook on the fiber glass pole hooks the bar and
we winch our way up (globe)
-2 plates that are cut to groove the 2x ball, arm is chain driven (globe)
-Autonomous: Dead reckoning... gets next to goal in attempt to push it right after

-Since we changed to 2 wheel drive (front), we might want to some
how change it so we can hang straight from the floor in ATL.

108 - SigmaC@T

:: Really Good (NOW) at: 2x / Hang / Defense / Strategy ::

-We can [cap, uncap] the [stationary, mobile] goal.
-We can hang in around 30 seconds after driver pracice on thursday.
-We've defended against some of the top seeds and do that very well. We're moving away from that strategy as our scoring abilities have risen, but we can still do it.
-We do extreme analysis of all teams at competition, along with review digital videos of the matches. Its been noted by our previous alliances as a strong point of 108.


During the midwest regional we:
-Upgraded drive train from belt to chains. No more drive train problems :D
-Perfected the hanger after lunch on saturday of midwest. Can now hang every match.
-Doubled the pressure of the 2x gripper by adding an extra piston. Now will have excellent 2x ball control.

Drive:
4 Motor (2 CIM 2 Drill), 4 Wheel, 2 speed drive

Arm:
1 Globe motor Joint
1 Pneumatic gripper
1 Globe motor Rack and pinion mechanism for lifting the robot off the ground
1 Servo ratchet to lock the robot from falling (Debugged at Midwest, problem was backup battery wasnt charged)

Auton:
Our Goal Side: Prepare to grab the big ball on
Opponent Goal Side: Smash Big Ball down and shove goal into ball shoot.

I have no good pictures. It upsets me greatly.

Re: Galileo scouting
 

Team 1359 The Scalawags:

Awards/Honors:
(all are from the Pacific Northwest Regional)
Rookie All-Star
Highest Rookie Seed (#2!!)
Imagery Award

Robot Strengths:
-Hangs from the bar VERY consistently
-uses autonomous to knock off yellow 10pt ball
-herds balls
-2 speeds
-gets up and over all steps, no prob
-can be driven from front or back
-hasn't broken down yet!!

How we made these strengths:
-Arm pulls up the robot with two 80lb pneumatics. The joint is worked by a rack-and-pinion device powered by the window motor.
-To herd balls, there are flaps that come down over the front and back with one powered by a small pneumatic kicker device to get the balls into the corral.
-We got the two speeds by designing a transmission that is powered by a drill motor. It shifts on the fly allowing us to go a regular speed and really fast. There are two motor-transmission assemblies on the robot.
-16in wheels allow us to get up the steps
-A switch allows us to have either end be the front
