Hey Arafin. I think I'm almost done with our robot's cam. If the code goes well I'll be happy to help your team :)

Robot looks great, but are you building that in a computer lab?

That seems like an inopportune place to build, with all the computers in danger.

We spent the first 2 weeks of build season in a computer lab. As long as you're carful, everything is a-ok.

Arefin, after seeing yours and 1889's robot pictures...I'm scared for the Florida Regional.


Great Job.

I spy with my little eye...

Nice job 1345 guys, good to see your 06 bot is still in one piece too.

Now that it's only 4 feet, how well can it score the top spider (if at all)? If it can, what method are you going to use to place them on the top spider?

Wow, this looks like a twin of our bot this year and we will be in Florida this year too.

How thick is the polycarb on the ramps?

Sean, to answer your question, yes it can score on the top one... but it takes time to line up and then try to score, so I will say, no we won't be scoring on the top spider. Today it came down to either going down to 4' and putting the ramps on or stay at 5' and be able to score on all 3 levels of spiders and have one ramp. Students thought it would be better to have two ramps and give up the top spider, so we went with it.

Travis, the lexan on top is 1/16".

Jimmy, you are right. Florida regional will be packed with robust bots. Can't wait to compete against/with you.

Hey Arefin (and all the platinum Dragons),

I like the ramp system, seems like a good idea for a ramp system. I have a couple questions though.

1. What keeps robots from driving up your ramp, then driving right onto your chassis/electronics? I'm sure you thought of this, i just dont see the system in this picture.
2. How do you lower the ramps/platforms? can you raise them back up if need be?

Just some food for thought.

Rich, thanks for your comment. Here are the answers...

1. We will put some kind of stop there (a bar of some kind) that will hold the robot back from hitting our arm or drive past the ramp structure and fall on the electronics.

2. How? we have few different ideas. I will share it with you and the community as soon as we figure out which would be the best way for us to do it. When raised the ramp looks like an upside down V. We don't want to raise the ramps back up once we deploy them. Plan is to drive back to the homezone with enough time to move all the tubes out of the way and then deploy the ramps for our alliance partners, giving them enough time to climb up. The ramp starts off at a 5 degree angle and slowly goes up to 20 degrees.

Do you think you're going to have room for guard rails, just in case the robot wasn't lined up straight as it was going up?
