I really like the way you throw tubes out to the end of the lane instead of going up to the wall.

Oh ya, cool robot too.;)

Killer mechanism, the extending linkage on the top is brilliant! The large gear/arm member on the bottom looks like a part that could cause a lot of headaches... did you have any strange issues to overcome with meshing a gear to the stacked aluminum plates?

I also love the way you implemented a telescoping mechanism with the rollers in the tube, I'm gonna have to play with that idea in the future. Lots of clever bits wrapped into your bot this year.

Fantastic robot as usual, and once again I'm super jealous of your fabrication abilities.

Wow.

That robot is amazing, I'm especially fond of the deployment system for the mini-bot.

Way to go 148.

The low gearbox driving a high shoulder joint via a linkage (we call this the "hip joint") was inspired by the 67-2007 robot which had this VERY cool feature. We added our own twist by making it a 4-bar linkage. Now it is a double 4-bar (we've been making double 4-bar jokes ALL season).

The practice robot shoulder joint has been running up and down since Day 18 of the build. It "just works." No worries at all with the plate gear experiment. Lots of laser cut plate gears on Raptor...

Yes, we are proud of some of the more subtle features inside Raptor. I know there are some that most people totally ignore that will be impressive to a mechanical designer with a good eye...

It reminds me of a certain dominating machine from 2007... with some very scary twists. Scary, that is, if you're behind the opposite glass. Looking good!

Very nice robot, 148. Much to learn from this one. Good luck to you this year, and you can be sure I'll be paying your pit a visit in St. Louis ::safety::

P.S. Awesome musical taste, as usual ;)

Eh, looks decent.... ;)


Kudos on another terrific machine 148. The hard work your entire team puts in all season really shows in the final(ish) product.

Thank you, this is exactly what I needed after a long day in the shop.

Great design! I love the push link and the roller claw....seems vaguely familiar.

Thanks for the note :p

Can't wait to see it in person. I guess I will have to watch the video a few more times...maybe there's more hidden gems.

Awesome job 148!

EDIT: Didn't notice the first 10 times, but that is an articulating roller claw....just amazing!

Totally awesome. I've been following the blog all season, and the finished product definitely exceeds the high expectations I developed from that.

Can't wait to see it in person at CMP (and maybe get a guided tour of the subtleties?).
