Gus 228's 1.3 second Minibot
 
What feels like Revision #28,659,844,355,346, we finally got it done. 1.3 seconds deployed. See you in St.Louis!

Very nice design.
Good luck at St. Louis!

Congratulations! That is very sick. These ramp minis are very, very cool.

That's very cool.

I love it when everyone is saying that the minibot secret is out, and there is nothing new to be done, and then somone comes out with a cool innovation like this.

Nice job!!

I wonder how far you can push the "no stored energy" rule? What about a ski ramp solution with a 1 second pre-drop to build up speed :)

Phil.

I wish this was legal, unfortunately i believe it would not be allowed... Maybe if you could make it at an angle where the minibot did not fall due to the magnet?

With all due respect to 228 and their well engineered minibot solution, the "ramp" deployment for minibots has been on robots since Week 2, when 190 and 233 independently competed with the ramp design. 228 and 190 were both at the WPI regional together, and I suspect they were inspired.

Sorry

I was just going by what I'd seen here at CD.

Didn't mean to offend.

Phil.

It's tough to be PC here!

Spot on, 190 was a very big inspiration, along with Pink. But i'm sure they weren't the only ones with the idea around week 2. But for our team, we are not claiming we came up with the idea by any means, we just tried to make it better.

You guys have a good knack for making very finished looking products. Can't wait to check it out in person in Newton!

awesome job guys, we have one that can go up in about 1.17 seconds plus about .5 for deployment. what's the fastest one anyone has/has heard of?

crazyStone 20-04-2011 20:17

Re: Gus 228's 1.3 second Minibot
 
we have 1.05 seconds for straight climbing, we are attempting to speed that up so we can break 1 second, and our deployer is also being reworked....
