nice now how much does it weigh and why the tigers?

Re: pic: TechTigers
 

For a 2nd year team, that robot looks nice... sweet paintjob.

Dave, you should have capped daniel. I mean come on. dont just let it hang there... DROP IT RIGHT ON HIS HEAD!!!! :)

see you guys at UCF... good luck.

Re: pic: TechTigers
 

It is great to see another sophomore team with so many good ideas packed into one robot.

1. You used your arm extension motor as a counterweight. Cool.
2. Your four-wheel drive system is ingenious.
3. It lifts really high for such a short robot (did you notice that it looks like a trebuchet?)
4. Your CG looks really low.
5. You took the time to make it pretty.

Nice job! I only have two questions. First, do you have trouble with friction within your arm, or did you find a way to put bearings or UHMW or something inside? Please tell me you aren't coming to Portland. :]

Congratulations.

They have Juniors on their team and its a tread system, not 4 wheel drive. :)

Re: pic: TechTigers
 

It's the team's second year -- therefore a sophomore team. You say potato, I say potato. :)

I saw that the rubber belt runs along the ground, but since I couldn't see any bogies supporting the tread, and the end wheels both touch the ground, I thought it looked more like a four-wheel-drive-with-a-big-belt system than a real tank track. Since all I've seen are the pretty low-res pics in the gallery, I could be very much mistaken.

AS for the friction in the arm, theres very little of it. And the weight is a a lovely 101 pounds of pure muscle. Thanks for the compliments and most of what u guys said is correct :D

I am KoZa hear me roar

team 1251

Re: pic: TechTigers
 

probably one of the prettiest robots to look at so far. I love the paint job, i wish we had time for that. But your robot looks like it can win. Nice engineering job on it.

Re: pic: TechTigers
 

Looks a little familiar ;). Great job!
At that weight you have plenty of room for improvements and get even better. I think we better watch out for 1251.

What do you mean it looks familiar, splain me... :confused:

Re: pic: TechTigers
 

Thanks Arefin

By the way i did cap daniel after the picture was taken.
All the pink stuff is UHMW and the arm has stoppers in it made out of plastinc so there isn't a whole lot of friction.
Right now the weight is 101but we'll be adding some bumpers and that are kind of heavy for two reasons.


1) We want to use max weight for more traction
2) Take care of the paint job.

i saw you guys at 179's pit and you guys were looking great. yeah great paint job though.nicely done guys and yeah the design reminds me of something...

cya at competitions

Re: pic: TechTigers
 

Thanks alot Tiff and everone who posted on our bot. please continue to post and ask questions. Thanks again all.

year of the tiger baby!

Re: pic: TechTigers
 

nice jobe guys! i love the colors! and the whole robot in general! good luck at competetions! :)

Re: pic: TechTigers
 

nice job guys. i had the pleasure of watching it at the swamp scrimmage and it was nice =). good luck @ UCF, we won't be seeing you there but hopefully we'll see you at nats :D

Re: pic: TechTigers
 

This was an excellent design coming from the KOP. Also a beautiful scheme. You guys did an awsome job! Thanks for bringing it to our scrimmage. It will be fun competing with you in 2 weeks. G/L

Re: pic: TechTigers
 

When someone said it looked familiar did they mean 233 from last year? by the way sweet paint job

Re: pic: TechTigers
 

very nice paint JOB :yikes:

Re: pic: TechTigers
 

Nice....
How high does it go though? I notice the kid in the picture is kneeling not standing.... ;) :cool:

Re: pic: TechTigers
 

Hey, that arm's ingenious *cough*BEST*cough* heh. Nice job guys, I was hoping to see our baby arm exploded into a full robot.

WAY nifty on the belt drive system also. Good thinking.

Re: pic: TechTigers
 

man, im loving the paintjob on that bot. very cool.

Re: pic: TechTigers
 

Thanks to Toyota's paint and body shop at school for the paint job and some nifty engineering on the arm from the great people at sonny's our corporate sponsor. As far how as how high well can't tell yea everyone will hafta see at ucf regional.

Re: pic: TechTigers
 

Heh, ok see you guys at UCF!
