Are those mecanum on the end and omni in the middle? Interesting. You'll move well but I doubt your robot will be able to push anyone; this may be a serious flaw in the design imo. Furthermore, seems like the entire build is a little bit high; it may cause some problems, especially with the scissor-lift – just a spectator's view. Good luck at the regional guys, this seems like a very interesting bot!

That's pretty awesome! Remember though that you cannot drag any part of your chassis on the bump. It appears that you'll need to add a bit of clearance.

Wow, you guys pulled off a working scissor lift. That's quite the feat. Is it powered yet?

Re: pic: Team 1942-Cinderella Week 3 . . .
 

Was this clarification made in a Q&A response?

Re: pic: Team 1942-Cinderella Week 3 . . .
 

Our mentors said it's too complicated when we suggested this idea...
well at least they got OWND.

Good job guys, see you in Tel-Aviv P:

you do realize that a flat piece of metal cannot hang on a round bar, right?

Re: pic: Team 1942-Cinderella Week 3 . . .
 

Our team was considering a robot base with "pivot" in the center also. I cannot find the exact spot in the Q & A, but I believe that it was clarified that a base that pivots in the center is a violation of <R11>, which is why we changed out design. I may be wrong though.
Looks cool though!

It's not complicated at all; we used those in 05, 07 and 08. It's just very tiring work because everything needs to be very precise.

Regarding <R11>, I think I read something about it, but I can’t really recall. Can anyone find the exact thing and link/repost?

Re: pic: Team 1942-Cinderella Week 3 . . .
 

The Q&A clarified that about chains dragging. I'm not sure about how that applies to frames.

A flat bar can hang on a round bar, provided that there is a hook-type extension on one end.

The base that pivots in the center only applies to the Frame Perimeter. The GDC has clarified that in Q&A around Week 1.

Really?? Since when? :p

I'm sure there's hooks or something going on that shaft.:rolleyes:

rule 8.3.2
<R11> The FRAME PERIMETER must be comprised of fixed, non-articulated
structural elements of the ROBOT. The FRAME PERIMETER must remain a
fixed, unchanging polygon throughout the MATCH.

Yep, the drivetrain doesn't count in frame perimeter determination. That solid frame above the drive would be the frame perimeter.

Re: pic: Team 1942-Cinderella Week 3 . . .
 

Is it only me or the metal frame of the drive train touches the carpet?

Eric, do you have a link to this response?
