minibot? other than that great job I wish we had a CAD team

That robot looks beautiful. Not sure if you should keep that motor in the back exposed though.

Looks beautiful, keep up the good work! Looks like there may be a few too many layers though.

I believe that is the front. I agree though that that motor is just asking to get smacked by something. Otherwise, really cool, I'm a fan of the small wheels.

you guys mean battery?

Re: pic: Teaser from First Team 971: She's gonna be lighting fast
 

No, the battery is in the back. The motor you are seeing is the motor for their roller claw.

o wow didn't see that...ya plz change that so we don't get a yellow card we don't like those

The plan is to pick the tube up, and then immediately pull the claw inside our frame perimeter again so it is protected. More protection for the motor may also be called for.

971 is the new West Coast powerhouse.

Are those the big muffin fans over the CIMs to cool them down??


Looks great 971. Very similar in design to ourselves, as I'm sure it is many other teams throughout FIRST.

Good luck!

Be sure to design a cover for the front! You definitely do not want something falling into your cRIO.

Beautiful CAD!

Re: pic: Teaser from First Team 971: She's gonna be lighting fast
 

Correct.

Electronics haven't been finalized yet, but that is definitely something we will be taking into consideration.

Re: pic: Teaser from First Team 971: She's gonna be lighting fast
 

Just curious because of the angle of the CAD file, is the claw within the frame in that posistion? I'm taking that this would be your starting position. Also, how heavy would this be?

In your experience have you found this to be noticeably beneficial?
