Re: 2012 IRI Scouting
To prepare for its first trip to IRI, 3193 Falco Tech has added a few modifications to our robot Talon Charlie:
  • Added a second motor to our arm base tilt for strength, durability, and redundancy
  • Pneumatic system is bug-free, so our drive shifters and bypass hood on our shooter for full-court passing are fully functional
  • Improved maneuverability
  • Improved grip on ball collector
  • New pneumatic "overhang assist" system to improve/stabilize our triple bridge balancing--only takes up about 18" on the end of the bridge (including bumper)
Please stop by in the pits to check them out--I know our students are eager to see your robots as well!
