Re: Team 665 Fan/s and More
The shroud based on the NACA report worked great for us.
Special thank you to Martin417 of team 1771 for advising us with the finer points to get it right. We also added a twist to the whole fan concept by putting a pair of fans on a turret. By the end of our matches at the Connecticut Regional, our drivers and copilots were doing amazing coordinated maneuvers that had the announcing play-by-play guy very impressed. The vectored thrust from the fans was really a fun innovation: I just wish we had more time to practice with it. ![]() ![]() If we could start over with this game, I would suggest, all that is needed is a turreted stack of properly shrouded fans on top of any four wheel drive system. Then simply push and pin the best robot on the other alliance sequentially in front of each of the three human alliance shooters. I think an alliance of 3 turreted stack of fans bots would humiliate any alliance of offense-based robots. The offensive based bots might be able to score their first 7 balls, but they would be incapable stopping the turreted fan bots from quickly pushing them to the fan bots human shooters and then the fan bots could easily hold them there for the full match. |

Kudos on a beautiful implementation and a neat "twist" on the fan idea! Are you going to the championships? If so, I will definitely come by and take a look in person.

It was my first year involved and I really came away impressed with the generosity and talent of the students, mentors and volunteers. I hope to be involved for many years to come. Our team got to go to the championships last year and we'll start working on the goal of getting back there next year. Thanks again and good luck at the championships. |
