Re: BunnyBots 2016
Since your team has won BunnyBots every year in recent memory I can only imagine what it means for your team to be working especially well this season:ahh:
See you (hopefully) on the 30th!

Re: ShopBot Desktop router up for the challenge?
We have both a ShopBot Buddy 2'x4' router and a Tormach 1100. Both are fantastic tools. If I had to choose one, though, I'd choose the router without a second thought for FRC. With that tool with...

Re: WCD 6" pneumatic tire wear
1540 had similar wear on our demo bot but I thought it was just because it was driving on asphalt. We only got one day out of them at Maker Faire Portland (http://team1540.org/maker-faire-2016)....

Re: BunnyBots 2016
BunnyBots 2016 is now full at 25 robots. We can consider a second robot from one more team as our biggest constraint is gym bleachers, not pit space.

Re: BunnyBots 2016
Despondent three year olds at orphanages across Portland :rolleyes:
Seriously, most of them came from the Goodwill and vary considerably in style. Teams get to pick from the pile under their table.

Re: BunnyBots 2016
Afraid not. Borders in BunnyBots are just 4x4s laying on the carpet anyway so dimensions wouldn't do you much good. Any autonomous mode would be well served using sensors.

Re: BunnyBots 2016
A zero-zero tie wouldn't matter in qualifications because both teams would get zero qualification points anyway. In elims we'd declare a winner of the team who didn't get a red card.

Re: BunnyBots 2016
Red cards zero your score just like FRC.
The point about defining your alliances side of the field is a good one, we'll include that. Your side is the side closest to the drivers, the one with your...

Re: Looking for a hassle-free 3D printer
Thanks for all the great replies. It's good to hear such support for the Lulzbot printers. I was assuming we'd have to spend over $10K for a printer that would be hassle free.
To that end, are the...
