well we just finished putting on the 2nd wing . . so all weve got left is to build and mount the arm. the robot should be 90% done this Friday(note the last 10% might take 90% of the total time)

this build is going fast compared to last year

Re: Who is finished???
 

Weren't you guys still building your robot in Atlanta last year? :)

Re: Who is finished???
 

Finished?? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA ROTFL

O wait..you're serious? um....No

Re: Who is finished???
 

Not done, but we could conceivably be moving by the end of business Saturday. We'll be tackling our Super-Secret Widgets of Graciously Professional Doom next.

(Yes, I brought the phrase with me to 1618 this year. And no, it's nothing that anybody with the team's ever done before in FRC.)

Re: Who is finished???
 

once we get a couple of our parts we need it is pretty much assembly and programming.

Re: Who is finished???
 

Our animation team has been done for quite some time!:D :D

We are just waiting on copyrights for now

Re: Who is finished???
 

I dont know how you guys can do it. My team last year finished right on time, with the mechanical portion finally done halfway through the competition in Atlanta. I currently have no idea how far they are this year, but I'm guessing itll be down to the wire as it has always been.

Re: Who is finished???
 

That's quite a light drive base, Cody. We're pushing 130+ on our base already :p

Re: Who is finished???
 

no we were just building a shooter protection thingy.
and working out electrical problems with the camera.

right now our only concern is weight . . we got to little. our base weighs 31 lb each wing weighs 15, and the arm will weigh . ohh 1-2 lb(dead serious). so yeah we got about 40-50 lb to pick up somewhere between now and mid feb.

Re: Who is finished???
 

We more or less have all of the parts and metal we need for the whole bot - we are just waiting on two shipments for gearboxes, chain, sprockets, and shaft. After that, it's just a matter of building and fabricating. EVERYTHING, including the bumpers, lexan top plates, signage, etc. is modeled in CAD so now we just have to do it in real life.

Our chassis body should be completed and together today (we have about 75 holes to drill and tap for 1/4-20). Depending on if those shipments come in today then the whole chassis will be moving by this weekend.

If we can get the chassis 100% complete and moving, with electronics, etc then next week we will start building the manipulators. This year we are building the robot step by step, instead of splitting everything thing up and assemble it in the last week (to find that nothing winds up fitting together right).

Re: Who is finished???
 

well we will have a robot that drives by tomorrow(saturday) with control system and electrical stuff. we will be putting some pneumaitcs in i think for our ramp but im not sure when we will be done with that...

Re: Who is finished???
 

Were 100% finished with 50% of the robot.

Re: Who is finished???
 

We're pushing ~200lbs on our chassis before certain lightening techiniques take place :ahh:

Re: Who is finished???
 

Yep, I think we're about finished...just the finishing touches on the foil wrap and he'll be ready to go...do you think they'll notice if our robot is a bit more human-looking than usual? ;)

Re: Who is finished???
 

Don't you think its a little early to get 'done'?

We are waiting until the very last minute before our first match :cool:
