Very slick looking. I look forward to seeing it in action in Silicon Valley.

So are you guys gonna have ramps or did you scratch those? It seems like a very slim and slick robot from what I can tell and I would assume you have enough weight for a pair of flop down bot lifters. Also, do you plan on scoring ringers horizontally or vertically? Any autonomous?

Can't wait to see it at SVR. Any chance we could get some video of it in action, or will we have to wait till LA? Looks amazing as always.

We'll have ramps. They are not pictured in this shot. The robot as shown is appx 82 lbs. We can score from either orientation. We have some video that we will be uploading shortly. stay tuned for the location.

Do you actually plan on touching that 16 fps high gear? 116 only used our 10.5 fps high gear once all of VCU, there wasn't much need for it.

Re: pic: Team 254 2007 robot
 
There is alot done in the programming to control the bot @ top speed, and our driver much prefers life in the fast lane. So you can expect to see us moving 15fps most of the match.

shamuwong 05-03-2007 22:54

Re: pic: Team 254 2007 robot
 
That is an amazingly fast arm. Knowing 254's speedy and maneuverable drive train, this is going to be a winning robot.

I have no doubts they'll use that 16fps gear. Their drivers have always seemed to use it very well.

that is one amazing robot bot you guys ... only three more days until i see it in person

Re: pic: Team 254 2007 robot
 
Wow... Beautiful.

Still wish you guys were coming to GLR...

Rich Ross 05-03-2007 23:10

Re: pic: Team 254 2007 robot
 
I agree with Don, wish i could see you in GLR. I guess championships will have to do. What drives the elevator?

I'd love to see the ramps

AdamHeard 05-03-2007 23:13

Re: pic: Team 254 2007 robot
 
simply amazing... Seems like you guys will be nearly immune to defense.

AdamHeard 05-03-2007 23:17

Re: pic: Team 254 2007 robot
 
Are the ramps not on the practice bot just because you don't need to practice them? or are they not on the competition bot yet either.



One thing is for sure though... 254, 330 and 968 will make LA a very high scoring regional. And that's just the teams we know about, I'm sure there's a few more in there as well.

Those wheels, lol-- They look so small.

Very simple design, looks effective.. good luck.

The rack doesnt move at 16 fps...

Cory, weren't you guys going to have outer panels to protect the wheels? Or are they just not pictured?

They aren't pictured. We didn't put them on the comp bot yet... just tossed them in the box.

They just aren't pictured. If you look next to each wheel you will see a total of 4 standoffs, they go there.

I wasn't reffering to their top speed. I was referring to the fact that they hug the tube close and the orientation of the tube to the rack doesn't seem to matter. these two together make it look like defense won't have as much of an effect as if they had an arm. If they are spun by another robot, the tube doesn't move as much as if it were on an arm.

very nice
I look forwards to seeing it this weekend

Do you have any plans for an autonomous mode?

Great efficiant robot. Tell Matt that I like how well he drives.

gotta see if that blue really is darker in person ;) :D No worries dude. I'm diggin it! C ya thurs.

Jeremiah Johnson 06-03-2007 10:21

Re: pic: Team 254 2007 robot
 
That's the sweetest blue I have ever seen. Please don't let it be any darker than what it is pictured.

Are you guys worried about the big black wire dangling off the side? It could be an entanglement issue, unless you've already fixed that problem.

rachal 06-03-2007 11:26

Re: pic: Team 254 2007 robot
 
Wow, gorgeous design, and very nice wheels :) I can't wait to see this at LA.

How is the elevator mechanism actuated?

It's a piece of IGUS cable chain, to carry the pneumatic tubing and wires running up to the grabber. It never leaves the footprint of the robot, but it does flop around a bit. 968 has been practicing with theirs run inside the elevator, which has worked well, so we'll probably do the same for the comp bot.

Two big CIM's are driving a 2" spool that pulls a cable attached to the grabber

we used our 14fps high gear for most of the time then switched to low gear for pushing or climbing ramps. Im sure they will make great use of it ;) ... PS u have a beautiful bot and i met 968 last year and they looked amazing. Look forward to hopefully seeing you in atlanta
