Well, for the first time in 9 years, we have decided to complete our robot
before the first regional. We are running a 3-speed Dewalt drive train (2.8, 7.5, 11.5 fps), pneumatic actuated scorer, and two robot teeter totter.
A passive ramp extender, ramp top, and potential second row scorer remains to be added, but we intend to be ready for powder coat by Tuesday.
The ramp is capable of loading two robots-two robots of footprints up to 38"x38" can be loaded, or even one flop bot and a standard footprint robot. The teeter totter is generally passive, and an end of match lift- after time- is easily pulled off. The absence of a ramp lip means that the chance of a robot tipping is almost eliminated.
The entire robot is designed around modularity, and every system can be removed for repair or replacement with between four and eight bolts between matches.
