Re: pic: Team 971's Robot
looks like a pretty popular design this year! Great job, beautiful robot. Can't wait to see it play at SVR!

Re: pic: Team 971's Robot
A solid design that has been proven to work very well. Well done!!! See you at Silicon Valley Regional!

Re: pic: Team 971's Robot
Wow. Looks like a really nice and clean bot from across the district. Hope you guys do well!

I think we can now call this the west coast arm, I've seen a bunch of these 254/968/22 arms from 2004/5 being used this year. They are all look amazing, and I'm sure will function really well. Oh and you also have the west coast drive on there too. You have a proven arm and drive design there with a very unique manipulator.

Do you fit within the base parameters of 28"x38"?

Re: pic: Team 971's Robot
are your wheels covered?
it doesn't look that way |
Re: pic: Team 971's Robot
The wheels are not covered, but there are bumpers that go on outboard of them.
oh, and let's not forget that Team 60 was also part of the original troupe that pioneered this style arm back on 04 |

Yup, Team 60's 2000 bot had a very similar arm back then as well, painted in the very famous yellow and blue... That arm had a basket on the end of it, with a "spine" down the back for hanging on the bar. I seem to remember it being only 2wd however... I'm sure there are pics of it somewhere out there.
Back to this specific robot, you obviously have a lot of manufacturing capability. Welding, sheetmetal, laser/watter cutting... Do you share these capabilities with other teams in the area? (Sorry, I don't know much about your teams' history, or location for that matter.) I'm very jealous! :) Nice. BEN |

Berger is primarily sheet metal, but they also did the welding Dave made most of the non-sheet parts, including the shifting transmissions and the wheels |
Re: pic: Team 971's Robot
To add to what Evan posted, all of the axles and a fair amount of the aluminum parts were made on a manual mill and lathe. All of the axles in the transmissions started from hex stock bought from McMaster Carr. Dave worked miracles. We cut the tube aluminum on a horizontal band saw. Berger Manufacturing welded everything up, cut a few holes in the tube aluminum, and cut out the sheet metal parts using their laser cutter. We bought hex broached gears from AndyMark, and used the AndyMark dog from the spare parts for their transmissions. We used 254's hex broach for our wheels and some of the gears.
In case you thought otherwise, those neat wheels were cut out on a manual mill and lathe. Quite a dramatic change from last year's robot, which was built using a drill press and the horizontal band saw. |
