Re: 2011 Curie Division

Here's 176's robot and minibot.

Specs:
Robot -
2 speed drivetrain (7fps, 16fps)
6wd with AM roughtop tread
2 stage elevator powered by a BB 550 motor
Pneumatic gripper to grab tubes
Wrist powered by a window motor
Deployment arm swing-out powered by a window motor
Deployment to pole contact made by pneumatic cylinder

Minibot -
2 hourglass shafts, each powered by a Tetrix motor
Climbs tower in approximately 1.3 seconds

The robot is averaging 5-6 tubes in teleop, as well as 100% scoring in autonomous on the top row throughout both of our regionals. We won the Granite State regional with 1519 and 175, and were quarter-finalists in Connecticut with 1124 and 714, where we were substituted out after an encoder failure. The encoder has been fixed and tested for St. Louis.

Match video @ BAE thanks to 1519:
