Is it bad that the first thing that came to mind is connect-four? :rolleyes:
Awesome looking frame.

Re: pic: FRC-34 Breakaway Entry
 

My thoughts exactly!

Re: pic: FRC-34 Breakaway Entry
 

same here. that and how heavy is it.

Re: pic: FRC-34 Breakaway Entry
 

Would it be a safe assumption to say that it looks like the top lifts up around 8 inches higher with four pistons?

Re: pic: FRC-34 Breakaway Entry
 

I don't know, the frame looks like fiberglass extrusion to me. If that's what it is it is probably pretty light.

Re: pic: FRC-34 Breakaway Entry
 

110 Lbs total, all aluminum.

The top extends from 17" to 22" and serves to extend the "Platform". Our intent was to serve as a ramp to help others score the extended points. Not sure about the ramp part now .......

I'm thinking about starting a contest to see who can guess the total number of holes in the entire robot. :D

We won't be competing at Peachtree next week, but we should have some scou..., I mean representatives there:D

Re: pic: FRC-34 Breakaway Entry
 

Holey robot batman!

Re: pic: FRC-34 Breakaway Entry
 

I think I'll name it "The Cheese Grater".

Go get the Cheese Grater ...........
Where's the Cheese Grater ........... ?
Has the Cheese Grater been inspected yet ..........?
Did you swap batteries on the Cheese Grater .........?

Don't bring any cheese to Peachtree or we'll grate it !


Yea, that works. :D

Re: pic: FRC-34 Breakaway Entry
 

Well lets start then. My guess is approximately 470.

Re: pic: FRC-34 Breakaway Entry
 

Bring it on...

Excluding mounting holes, 528 large and 1030 small. Total 1558.

Re: pic: FRC-34 Breakaway Entry
 

378.

How far can it kick/can it kick?

Re: pic: FRC-34 Breakaway Entry
 

Yes, it kicks very well. There are 4 kick modes, all pneumatic. We can kick the length of the field if required. We actually had to add a second regulator to slow it down a little bit.

Re: pic: FRC-34 Breakaway Entry
 

i know that a lot of people have already said this but it really does look like connect four... you guys did some serious Jenny Craiging

Re: pic: FRC-34 Breakaway Entry
 

If we need a hole saw, I know were to go now:p

Re: pic: FRC-34 Breakaway Entry
 

Does it whistle when you're moving?

If God made an FRC robot, this would be it... Holy.. get it?

You say it kicks good, but I think your story is full of holes...

OK, I have a hole lot more but I'm done now..

Re: pic: FRC-34 Breakaway Entry
 

Is the robot name Holy Grail?

Re: pic: FRC-34 Breakaway Entry
 

That would make a nice doggy fence

That thing has more holes than a rack full of dunkin doughnuts... mmmm doughnuts...

Emeril called, he want his collander back.

Easter is coming, that will make a great egg holder for painting.

mmmk I'm done..

Beautiful bot BTW.

Re: pic: FRC-34 Breakaway Entry
 

Just looking at the Open Holes (i.e. not holes with bolts)
4 very large,
356 large,
500 small,

Grand total around 860.

Now counting the holes with bolts (including the mecanums)....

around 1200 total

Re: pic: FRC-34 Breakaway Entry
 

It is actually 8 very large holes. 4 standoffs with 2 holes on each(if they speed holed both sides).

You didn't by any chance weigh the robot before you cheese holed it did you? That would be cool to see the weight savings.

Re: pic: FRC-34 Breakaway Entry
 

The holes were not added, they were part of the initial design. It's kind of like a FRC version of an erector set. If something is added to the design we can rearrange structural parts to make room. The whole thing is put together with 5mm socket head cap screws. We can take this whole thing apart and put it back together with a 4mm ball end Allen Wrench and an 8mm combination box wrench. Another cool thing about 5mm cap screws and the 8mm flat-to-flat nut that mates with it is it real close to 5/16 and 5/32 inches. I can pick up any allen wrench and box wrench set and work on this thing. There's no welding involved, you can break this thing down into individual pieces in less than 20 minutes.

Wow, as smart as it is beautiful! Really nice job Rockets, can't wait to see how you perform this year!

Good luck!
