SHIP DAY IS HERE!!! Did you finish???
 

Ok, so our robot is now in a HUGE box being sent down to Las Vegas... and we still have alot of work to do when we get there. Oh and we have never actually run our robot. :( :eek:

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.

We got our's done all it needs is some fine tuning.

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

How much does it weigh?

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

we aren't quite finished

We need to mount a protective plate for the shooter, mount a place for the flag, clean up the wiring, and get it all underweight

NO WE DIDN'T

We are a rookie team and we are going crazy. Our ball catcher broke right before we put into the crate to be shipped. Our air defense system fell apart at the last second and we are all ready to kill each other....it is like a bad nightmare for all of us....

But since we are rookies, I guess that it is to be expected....who knows, hopefully we will pull it together

Get final mass
Wire it.
Sides and stickers
Vacuum foot traction material and local gravity amp(s)
Dial software PID's and timing. Set auto mode launch speeds.

Ha ha ha ha ha ho ha ho heh! Thanks for the laugh! Tuned PID -- that's a good one!

First version, sucks in great and backfeeds pretty well, is underweight, can compete.

Revision/tuneup two- fix feed so it reliably feeds the shooter, doesn't jam in the hopper.

I hate robots.;)

CHAOS 131 is "finished" and shipped off... after a few very long nights <- hahaha wow my 1,000 post!

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

mechanically: done.
electrically: done
programmingly: well... is it ever really done?

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

Lol yep... we finished like... 4 days ago.. and weighed it yesterday... ...

LOL 95 pounds without batteries!!! and we thought we were over weight!! HAHHAHAHAHAHAH

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

We are done. We just need more practice on it. Our Robot was done, but after the DC Scrimmage, we modified some stuff and tested it again.
Even one hour before the shipping time, we ran our final tests on the shooter and it worked perfectly. We do got some programming issues, but i guess first day of competition will be more than enough to fix minor problems.

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

We are done, but as a precaution we shipped the bot with an engineer so he can fine tune it. He has plenty of Snicker bars and juice. *wonders, did we put air holes in the box. Oh well* :)
Bot weighs 118 pounds.

We'll be at Pittsburgh with you guys. Look us up if you want some help, we'll try to help if you want it. Team 1629.

We're basically done. As done as we could have been, anyway.

Megamaid is now two pounds underweight (asuming they use the same scale), thanks to the almighty Rotex punch.

Autonomous was never tested, and there are some minor issues with ball cloggage and a slightly flimsey gate. We can however spew a perfect column 2 balls wide at a fairly high rolling speed and get on the ramp, so I guess we are mostly done.
