Re: 2007 Galileo Robot Information and Pictures

Team 1991 - The Wikibot Dragons (The Dragons for short)
Picture: http://www.uhsserobotics.com/marketing.doc (includes pictures)
4 ft. 120.0 lbs

Drivetrain:
4 small CIMs with 4 BaneBots 56mm planetary gearboxes
AndyMark Mecanum wheels
ground clearance > 3" (more like 4ish)

Can climb ramps the wide way only (requires around 36" of ramp width)
Plays WICKED defense (have prevented high scoring teams that usually score 5-6 in a match from scoring at all). The mecanum helps with this.
Fast. Not sure on measurements in ft/s, but I can get this info and edit it in later.

Ramp:
1 ramp with extended platform of over 12 ft.
Ramp at 14.5" No chance of loss of points due to sag
Requires 2" of clearance minimum to climb
Has side rails to prevent driving off of ramp/platform
Has been climbed numerous times in competitions, including by high scoring teams like 25.

So in short, a large aircraft carrier with a wicked defense and mecanum. We can EASILY hold 2 bots (we have actually fit 3 at 14.5", and 1 partly up the ramp at 4" ... but thats besides the point. Our highest score in a match was 316, and we were AGAINST one of the winners of the philly regional!

Any other questions?
Jacob
