The black competition bot won't be "complete" until Thursday morning at Central Illinois due to some upgrades we have planned for the collector arm. The current iteration of the collector arm can be seen on our unpainted practice bot.
Name: Detonator
Drivetrain: 6CIM/8Wheel (Versa DT) cantilevered skid with VexPro ballshifters. (5/15 FPS)
Shooter: Choo-Choo, RS775 Geared first through a Dewalt drill transmission and then through a toughbox.
Large sweet spot for shooting into the high goal. Can shoot from the forward third of the white zone, and back half of the red zone.
Collector: Polycarbonate roller with plaction tread in a "corkscrew" pattern.
Oh yeah, and we may add under glow for the heck of it.
We drew a lot of inspiration from Bomb Squad's 2008 robot, JVN's Build Blitz robot, and many 8 wheel drive trains from past years.
This isn't even our final form.
