That looks like a super fast robot

quick AND powerful ... but I would guess you are not planning to pick up any balls off the floor ...

Yes... how do you plan to get balls?

Fredi and 842,

Very nice setup. This thing will go faster than Tytus was driving on 179 last year, if the motor power will allow. This is a good choice of an omni-wheels and IFI treaded wheels combination.

Something there looks familier...

FYI make sure not to have too much weight over the omnis if you use the rubber discs. THe wheels bottom out on the Aluminum and you will get in trouble for wrecking the carpet.

Hmmm, i know who we are going efter with our pusher bot.......

Omni's make it way to easy to throw people off target. Then again, if we cant catch you......

While I doubt that anything can be faster than Tytus last year (was black magic an allowable part?), I have to agree--nice work!

Just curious, what was your reasoning when deciding between IFI traction wheels and the AndyMark traction wheels?



AndyMark Transmission 2 x $330
AndyMark OmniWheel 2 x $68
IFI Traction Wheel 2 x $60

I'm just curious why everyone thinks this is so beneficial. Ask yourself, if our robot base was driving right now, what would we be doing with it? I know I don't have an answer. What good is it really without a shooter on top?

Personally, I prefer to put a little more thought, planning, and design into the robot before we just go build it.

Also, in that picture, those Victors look quite crowded in there. Do you have any room for wiring?

There's absolutely no reason why they couldn't be finished with the design of the robot already.

A robot only let's you play the game. You need PRACTICE, strategy, and some luck to win the game. I'd love to have something driveable by the end of week two.

I am really interested in the extruded fiberglass; where did you get it from, and how to you assemble the joints?

Thanks!

We get it through a distributer here. Check on the website for the nearest dist. to you.
It is very easy to work with, hack saw and a drill is all you really need. It is 1 fifth the weight fro the same strength of steel. lock nuts and bolts 3/16 is all we use, you can counter sink in the 1/4 thick fiberglass. Dremel works great. When ever cutting be sure to have a vacum running to suck up the lose stuff. It gets on your hands and is ichy, but you get used to it. It makes for quick repairs!

Well to start its not finished so we havent posted a full pic of the overall robot and as for the victors thats my job and I find my self with abit to much room because I have crowded a robot controller,spikes,and the victors in to smaller spaces and well thats my job and that is to make things work with the less space possible. :)
