Re: pic: Team 1114 -- Simbot Prime
Introducing Team 1114's 2007 robot, Simbot Prime. We've abandoned treads, and gone back to the 6 wheel, with an improved version of our 2005 drive. This is by far the best drivetrain we've ever had. We're set to make our debut this weekend at the Great Lakes Regional.
And yes, we're the only team with this robot. No twins, triplets, quadruplets, or quintuplets this year. It's Primetime... Last edited by Karthik : 05-03-2007 at 11:26. |

Lots of things.

There appears to be a large spring cocked attached to the arm on the left side. Would that be considered stored energy?
Interesting robot... |

Re: pic: Team 1114 -- Simbot Prime
Finally!! I've been waiting for this one
This is what I see: - sick 6-wheel set up - the manipulator is that small piece of tread at the front, with a little red hook powered by a window motor. - then I think the manipulator probably has another degree of movement. - elevator system that can probably reach all three levels. - then a ramp on the back, I can't really tell if it can hold one or two bots. But knowing 1114 I wouldn't be surprised if it held two. Looks great guys ! See ya in Waterloo. |

Re: pic: Team 1114 -- Simbot Prime
Interesting. To be honest I am suprised that you have a ramp, I just assumed you'd put all your effort into an amazing arm/drivetrain and climb others... but then again when you can do all three, well why not? I am very interested as to how that manipulator works. Good Luck at GLR.

Re: pic: Team 1114 -- Simbot Prime
Good catch, but it is there, just hidden. And yes, it does stay (approximately) vertical THROUGHOUT the match...I'll let you figure out how that works (it's non-trivial, and took way more work than it should have).

Is this used to scoop pop corn from the popcorn machine?

When you see how the flag holder works and where they placed it, you will be

Re: pic: Team 1114 -- Simbot Prime
Is it mounted on a pivot on top of your manipulator with a weighted bottom so it stays near vertical by balancing?
