Re: pic: Finished robot image
Nice...no need to reinvent the wheel and use your time to simplify this seemingly complex game. too bad what that bot is doin now is illegal.

Re: pic: Finished robot image
Congrats on finishing, use your next six weeks to make it that much better! Don't forget to make it legal!

I think that like Rack n' Roll to Tetra Madness (or whatever the game was called), you can take your robot and mod the manipulator a little bit to grab the big ball and you'll be fine. But to place it the ball for the bonus points, that is what takes the real work....

Re: pic: Finished robot image
no offense, but what I think was even more impressive is that you got your half field already built!!!

The Half Field was our Kickoff location in San Antonio. IOne advantage to hosting the kickoff. Thanks Andrew for the hospitality and the tour of your shop while we were there. It was great for my kids to see the excitement of the day and the organization of your shop. The half field also helped us get in mind what we need to do for our practice field at home. |
Re: pic: Finished robot image
This whole not taller than six feet in the opposing alliance's home stretch has got to be sorted out fairly quickly. How else is one supposed to get the trackball down from that side without encurring a penalty:confused: I read the intent of the GDC as not designing robots to prevent scoring of bonus points by blocking. a.k.a. the the rule from 'Aim High' preventing teams from extending and blocking shots on goal via a tall mechanism. My reading is that this particular rule is meant for that purpose and not to penalize teams who are attempting to get their trackball down from the overhead ladder thingy.
P.S. As Coach Norm wrote, we were testing an old robot on the field built for the local kick-off here in San Antonio. The field was built by a group of craftsmen sworn to secrecy by FIRST. We hosted the event in our school's auditorium so after every other team had time on the field and took delivery of their kits, the field was ours to experiment upon. We also paid for the materials for the construction of this field. So the expenses and time put into planning and hosting a local kick-off pay dividends in this regard:) |
Re: pic: Finished robot image
how is it even possible for you to finish in 1 day without doing illegal designs before hand and working before hand?
Something seems fishy |

Retrofitted in 2006 with dual air compressors, 3 sections of 1" iron pipe for pressure accumulation with a 1" Parker quick action pneumatic valve for the purpose of launching tee shirts into the stands @ sporting events.:D No this is not our competition robot just some C.D. humor and posting of some initial tests of mechanism ideas.:p |

Re: pic: Finished robot image
The reason it's finished so fast is that it's either the same or a slight modification of their 2006 or 2005 robot.

Re: pic: Finished robot image
This is why veteran teams have an enormous advantage over rookie teams.
