Looks great Dustin. I am liking the tower and the robust chassis. I also like how you and your team evenly distributed your weight to compensate for your arm base (putting the compressor and the battery on one side, with your arm in the back). Looking forward to seeing the final robot at NJ.
Curiosity, are all 6 of your wheels in contact with the floor, or is it a rocker? |

Technically, the drive is a rocker, though the rock isn't much. The Center wheel is offset approximately 1/8" lower than the outer two wheels, so it has a little bit of rock but it's barely noticeable on carpet. I'm really not a fan of some of the higher offset rockers we've used in the past, they almost seemed to rock too much, but I think we've nailed this one. Nick and I had a chance to beat on the chassis last Saturday and were thoroughly impressed with it's speed, agility and stability. Hopefully some time this week he and I will have a chance to put it through some quantitative testing to get a real feel for how it'll hold up in competition. |
