Looks to me like you just took your practice chassis and stacked it on top. It looks like there are too many cims to be one robot in this photo http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/34735? Sneaky sneaky

That's pretty cool. But I hope you are aware of the rule that prohibits you from having multiple orientations. By definition, you aren't allowed robots that can flip and keep on going.

Nice try!;)

Looks really cool by they way!

count the wires..... I think they are hiding the extra 4 cims with some clever photography

Those "extra" wires could be for quick disconnects to their control panel, just like we do on our robots

The GDC does not agree

But look at the two panels where they come together. They are not even meaning it is not one continuous piece and in both pictures there are no visible brackets to hold the two together. So they did a photoshop job.

Beautiful chassises!

Clever, very clever.

Nice blue on the plaction wheels!

Actually, I think there are too many things missing in this picture for us to say one way or another whether this is one robot or two. For instance, the lack of chain.

They definitely look like custom wheels to me.

Not tall enough to be a flippable robot.

I like the chassis though. No idea why. :)

Wow! The machining that was done to cut weight on the inside of those plates looks awesome! Flip the plates and show it off! Its quite a beauty. We're planning on doing that, and it'll be quite a looker. Hahaha I guess I missed the point of the teaser, but regardless, I like it

Plaction? They look like metal to me.

294 has a long history of doing this. Some of the prettiest frames in FRC.

Once again, great frames. Is that wheel design any different from previous years? New iteration perhaps?

the two robots stacked on top of each other remind me of THIS mishap...

that frame has a history of GREAT defense....

Thanks for the kind words.

The wheels are a new iteration of the wheels on our 2008 robot.
7 inch diameter instead of 4
accommodates 1 inch wide tread
The spokes are beefed up a bit to handle all of the robot weight shifting forward over the bump.
Our main sponsor Northrop Grumman did an excellent job machining the wheels and sideplates.

Cool Robot
 
:cool: You should post a video on youtube to see it drive over the bump.:cool:

Yeah, it's not actually a flipping robot; there's just a clone stacked ontop of the original:

1. It's too short... a flipping robot requires the bumper zone to be legal upside and downside down.

2. I think Greg Needel is right - looks like there's too many CIMS.

3. The two long aluminum panels are slightly crooked, you can tell if you examine the zoomed-in picture closely.

4. Why fillet the corners of the midline, if it's one unit?

EricH 08-02-2010 14:54

Re: pic: 294 Teaser #2
 
5. Why on earth would you make a sideplate out of 2 pieces instead of 1, especially when you have the option to do 1 instead of 2?

Now thats a teaser. :)

I was going to say the same thing! :rolleyes:

Re: pic: 294 Teaser #2
 
We'll post a video when we get all of the chain and electronics on. :)
