Re: Frc 2008 Robots
 

Just so you know some teams have posted pictures and videos of their robots in the Extra Discussion Forum if you would like to see what others have accomplished. No pictures yet from my team.

By the way welcome to CD!

We don't have any pictures of the robot picking up balls but those should be coming up soon. So keep checking the site!

Re: Frc 2008 Robots
 

Heh, that's very similar to one of my first concepts i drew up at the beginning of the season. Very nice work 1726.

Re: Frc 2008 Robots
 

How exactly are you guys getting that track ball to fly that far? We have been using 60psi and been getting around four feet high.

Re: Frc 2008 Robots
 

Read this thread for details on how our mechanism works.

Good luck!

Re: Frc 2008 Robots
 

I thought this was your prototype:confused:. How is that sweet powder blue machine we saw earlier coming?

Thanks again for the tips on the pneumatics's preload. That was a huge help:D

Re: Frc 2008 Robots
 

Yes, this is the prototype. The blue competition bot is coming along nicely (a little too nicely, I think. Our robots aren't supposed to look this good...) The team has decided not to post any progress pics of the real thing until late sixth week, so you will have to wait for that.

Re: Frc 2008 Robots
 

Actually, the picture that CCCP posted is our prototype. As of now, we are constructing our final competition robot. We'll be posting pictures sometime next week (or perhaps this weekend) when it's completely fabricated.

Here's hoping for an exciting competition season!

Re: Frc 2008 Robots
 

Here's pictures from our build season. Latest photos of our forklift system are in the Week 4 gallery :p

2/3 of the perimeter, or the polygon formed by perimeter... Check the Official FIRST Q&A if unsure.

Re: Frc 2008 Robots
 

wow, you guys basically build 2 robots................. we normally build 1 robot 5 times........... This year isn't bad though, we only prototyped our hurdler, over and over and over again. But most of this years bot we are using things we have done before and know will work.

How long does it take for your lift to fully extend? We were aiming for < 3 seconds, yet we're currently at 4 before weight tweaking.
