DISTANT shooter BOTS

[MarsBOtkid]

I was curious of what robots you believe can shoot the farthest and still make goals acurrately?

[Tom Bottiglieri]

Team 20, The Rocketeers, are very capable of shooting from half field and beyond. The combination of a turreted shooter and a rock solid auto aim system let them scoot around field shooting balls, without ever having to take time to line up the robot. This was one of the fastest, most effective machines I have seen all year. They will be a force to be reckoned with at the big dance next week.

1261 was the most effective perimeter shooter I saw first hand, but 1610 was not far behind.

1523 had a great long range shooter. They consistantly made shots at and behind half-court at the Florida Regional.

648's robot can shoot accurately from halfcourt and a little behond. It's just that little nudge on the dial to get it to fire at the right speed that makes it hard.

Since you didn't specify top goal shooters, I'll throw in the tidbit that we can score the bottom goal from distances longer than the field.

Same here.

I would also like to mention 1280, which has made shots from half field and farther, both in and out of auto mode.

normally i dont boast about my team, but in this case....

we can shoot from 8 feet behind the halfcourt line (halfcourt + 8 ft)...we are also able to shoot from all three starting positions, accurately

[SizzelChest330]

Ive heard 303 can make them from extremely far back behind the half court line

On a side note, how many of these robots stayed under the 12 m/s rule?

We (1523) stayed under the limit. Our balls went at about 11.6 to 11.9 m/s.

Well, all of them or they would of been DQ'd obviously.

Team 1280 uses speed regulation on their ball shooting wheel.
It is not possible for the operators to set the wheel speed to
exceed 12 m/sec. A light on the OI informs them that the
robot is "out of range" with the speed limit activated.

With backspin, as 1280 uses, it is possible to center a shot in the 3
point goal from behind mid field. Without backspin, the maximum
distance would be a bit less.

If we must question the shooting speed of longer distance shooters
who have worked very hard to implement backspin, wheel speed
regulation, and a good targeting system; perhaps we should also
question the shooting speed of a close distance shooter that shoots
at rates exceeding 2 balls per second without wheel speed
regulation. Excessive shooting speed is not as visible to
someone watching the field in this case, but it constitutes just as
much of a competitive advantage, if not more.

Making a shot from mid field, with backspin, is not evidence
of excessive shooting speed. It is evidence of shooting just
short of the 12 m/sec speed limit...

Thanks....The kids wanted the bot to be able to shoot from
different distances...during testing we accually had it shooting from
mid field.

Come by and see us at our pit and say hi.

I would, but sadly I won't be in Atlanta next weekend

At least by the end of the weekend, 832 had become a ramp shooter though.
