Wow guys! Awesome job! Makes me proud to be a founding member of 706... can't wait to see you guys in action at Milwaukee!

A robot capable of going to Atlanta :D

I like how it is streamlined and compact, and I very much do like the variable kicker mechanism. The idea of having an offset suction possessor is superb IMHO compared to the additional space (and possible energy) needed in a dual suction setup.

Having a 8 wheel 4 CIM with traction wheels will definitely give you the advantage in a pushing match against majority of the robots due to the fact that most I have seen so far are either mechanum or omni, or a combination of slip and traction.

Great Work; I'd love to see it in competition :cool:

Very impressive, the variable kicking is amazing! I must say though, the highlight of the video was the easy-clamp that you are using on the front...

Good luck and have fun this year!

lol we werent sure what angle we wanted to mount the camera yet at that point in time, hopefully we'll replace the easy clamp with a more permanent solution, like duct tape, or elmers glue :)

we got a lot of great freshmen this year, i think that made a big difference. they're still learning the ropes but i really think that in about 2 years 706 will be putting out some truly awesome bots.

OMG how did you do the vacuum

We modified a two shop vacs (took the impellers from both) and mounted them into one modified housing for the same shop vac. We first built the mounting out of acrylic which failed miserably because the vibration sent spider cracks through it after 10 minutes of use. We switched to wood for the second version. There are two fisher-prices powering it with belts. We can run full power on our robot for 10 minutes before the battery gets too low. There is also a pneumatic dump valve which releases the ball *just* before it is kicked.

Holy cow, that is a beautiful kicker design! I'm assuming that the kicker puts out the same force every time, and you vary the distance only by raising/lowering the entire assembly? I love it.

Exactly.

Sorry about the double post too guys.

We're almost wrapping up our robot, just adding a few final touches. So far the feature list includes:

live camera feed for aiming/ball grabbing (no lag)

Pneumatic kicker with a surgical tube assist, can be raised up or down for long/short range shots

4 CIM 8 wheel drive

2 fischer price motors powering a vacuum to hold balls in possession

When in the long range position, the average distance before the ball hits the ground is about 35 feet. Although we can, we do not necessarily plan on scoring long range, the long range kicker can shoot over both bumps to move balls from a defensive zone to an offensive zone. once the ball is on the other side of the field, the kicker can be raised into the scoring position.

hey, how'd you get the fisher price motors in the vacuum... we cant seem to make a design of it that works....
do u have a design u can explain or something.....
thanks

what powers the front roller?

robself705 15-03-2010 17:21

Re: Team 706's 2010 Robot Demonstration Video
 
We mounted the two fisher price motors on machined aluminum brackets. We then cut out a wood housing to mount the motors on and the bearings for the shaft. We turned a custom shaft on the lathe to mount two shop vac impellers onto. We mounted the impellers in the original housing from the shop vac which was bolted to the wood frame. The fisher price motors have shaft extensions pressed on to them on which are belt sprockets, the belts connect to the center shaft. The belts are tightened by rotating the motors outward on their metal brackets. Im sorry, I don't have pictures because our bot is in a crate somewhere, but the video is high res so go to the run over and pause it to see what I'm talking about. Let me know if you have more questions.

The roller is powered by a cim motor and belt mounted to the inside wall of the robot.
