This looks awesome, seems very strong. I can't wait to see the finished product, and I am really curious to see how guys are getting the ball over the overpass.
By the way, are you guys hosting a scrimmage again? Just wondering. ;) |
Re: pic: 179 weldments so far
It might just be me, but does it seem much smaller than 28x38?
Something tells me this isn't just designed for hurdling the trackball (if it is at all), but quick laps as well. |

I've always considered Swampthing to be one of the fastest teams out there (2005 comes to mind) and I have a feeling this year will be no exception. This looks like one slick bot.
Edit: 179th post, what are the chances :P |

Hey David,
I'm looking forward to it also. I dunno how our semi field will handle all the racing bots and bouncing balls though, heh. I look forward to seeing yours as well. As far as speed, this will be our fastest bot to date, but I've seen other teams quoting faster speeds. I just think controllability is probably going to matter more than raw speed, if playing with the balls anyway. The guy holding it (Sean) in the picture is the driver, he's why they go so fast. :ahh: We are actually using the single speed kit transmissions :) Reason is last year we had shifters but Sean didn't shift until we were on Einstien. So we never needed them... It is 2" under in each direction, so that's not a big deal really. It just looks smaller I guess. Tytus did the cover design, and tweaked last years base. We've got a great team of helpers this year. They're all working quickly. The arm and some other features not shown are a beatty do it all menagerie, but we'll see how it all works out in reality... It will also have a gyro and a beefed up IR doo dad. Last years bot does great with it. |

That's excellent implementation of the KISS principle. I love it.

Nice looking robot there. Another solid roller claw design. Which motor is that up there powering the roller element?
EDIT: looks like a Globe? |
Re: pic: 179 weldments so far
What kind of results do you get with the globe on the roller claw?
|
Re: pic: 179 weldments so far
The globe works great, it is speed increased 2-1. Feeds pretty fast, just right I think.

Re: pic: 179 weldments so far
179 looking sweet as always...nice bot
