We are darn near close...still has some debugging left, mechanically and electrically it seems sound.

We're pretty much done. We still have to construct our hopper and get our camera controling our bot. Other than that we have the base, shooter, wiring, etc. done.

we might be a pound or 2 over but we still have plenty that we can remove. It could be used out of the crate but could be tuned a bit to make it perfect.

Programming wise driver control is done and auto aim works. Autonomous wise we can put it where we want it and it will shoot accuratly we just need the drive code added so it can drive to where we want it to be.

Yeah.....good sotries, now look at this one..:

Sunday, robot is being finished, looking evil and better than any other that we've seen so far, pretty cocky, I know, until it was time to weight it :ahh: ........44 punds over-weigh!!!!!What are we going to do :confused: We had to take off the shooter and had a set up robot that has no use of the area that the shooter used to take up...o yeah, and our ball collector is still jaming! I said to change the motor from a fisher-price to a CIM since it's pushing five balls up...My mentor said: Are you out of your mind??? :ahh:
That's our story, we felt the worst feeling taking all the welding parts off, now we weigh 108 without the addins that im thinking about right now.

We never got anything done with the camera and our shooter is having issues

But since we are rookies, I guess that it is to be expected....who knows, hopefully we will pull it together
Don't lose hope - the first day of your regional is technically a practice day but many use it as a bonus build day. Also there will be plenty of other teams there that I'm sure will be willing to lend a hand.

Our bot just needs a little camera-work and the reattachment of chain tensioners; luckily things came together and we only had to stay up until 2 last night :rolleyes:

Don't get too frustrated, in our rookie season last year, we got to our regional (only had the funding to go to one), and had to redesign the arm on our robot, and spent the vast majority of thursday working on it.

We ended up getting it redesigned and put together and working, and won the Rookie All-Star award for the regional and won our way to Nationals.

Don't give up, you've still got plenty of time to fix and/or modify it :)

Our robot was 115 lbs few days ago... I don't know about now since we added some stuff. We all guessed the final weight of the robot and wrote it down on a whiteboard and my guess is... 119.0 lbs! No one will know if the robot is done or not until we open the crate at the competition because... who knows? Stuff might come off on the way! Last year's crate had two holes because the thing that carries this stuff kinda missed.

Ok, sounds like we arn't the only team in this situation. It will be a mad scramble to finish it though at Regionals in Las Vegas. And plus I really want to be able to at least get one or two practice rounds in so i know how this thing drives :confused: :confused: :confused:

We haven't completed our robot, we're going to have to work our bums off on Thursday...=/

Re: SHIP DAY IS HERE!!! Did you finish???
 
Nope!

Still need to:
Construct shooter shield
Fire shooter/change tread as necessary
Spring load pinch point
Drive robot
Spring load / test feeder from hopper to shooter channel
Attach hopper net
Attach cover
Fix back bumper
Gain weight as necessary.

Re: SHIP DAY IS HERE!!! Did you finish???
 
Mechanical: not where we wnated it (scrapped the launcher, shifting issues), but can compete effectively
Programmming: pretty good, but no auto mode

We worked out butts off last night/this morning, but we got it working quite well, and we're happy with the effort. it's most definitely the prettiest robot we've ever built.

Re: SHIP DAY IS HERE!!! Did you finish???
 
Our biggest problem is probably weight because there arent many places to tke weight off. We also need to finish the programming and getting the camera and autonomous to work. The last problems are making sure we will be able to turn and not run out of battery in a match.

Here's whats left for us to do:
1. Wire the whole thing(motors, sensors, camera)
2. Fix our catapult (yes we are using a catapult and it works awsome!!! :D except for the fact that when we mounted our camera in the wrong spot and it gets in the way and won't load.)
3. Program it(we do have part of it done, but not even close to all of it.)
4. Mount sides on it and place stickers.
5. Fix Wheels (Maybe)
6. Probubly some other things that I'm too tired to remember right now.

So I was just wondering if we are the only team that is in this situation. Let me know.

PS here is a picture of our robot when we shipped it today:




Let me know and also, comment on our robot if you want.

Just get your team to your regional and there will be a lot of help available! At one of our regionals a robot was destroyed in shipping and everyone there pitched in and got the team up and going. Our team always brings all of our spare parts from the kit and anything else we can pack and are happy to help other teams if the need arises. Good Luck!!

Re: SHIP DAY IS HERE!!! Did you finish???
 
yay, we're done. except for programming an autonomous mode.

as for things not on the bot,
1) make spare parts
2)Strategize
3)Get a driver (using last years robot)
and for me:
4) Try not to kill anyone :D
