After watching our robot in action, one of the Ethicon engineers compared it to the Escher waterfall painting. I think he meant that as a compliment.

Any chance of scoring a video for the new ROBBE XTREME bot?

jfischer · #4 10-02-2009, 11:15

I am planning to video the robot at tonight's meeting. Should have it up soon.

How responsive are the motors that control the dumping mechanism? If they aren't that responsive, then their is a great possibility of a lot of balls missing their intended targets. Also, scoring could be a problem. If you are up against a robot that has a mid-range, 360 turret, they will have the ablility to fire upon you and possibly into your trailer. That and the fixed dump (or lack or multiple dumps) will mean that you do not have defensive systems (systems that are capable of scoring enough when you get pinned so that they will not try to pin you). Is that a concern?

nice job.

how is the belt made ?

jfischer · #7 10-02-2009, 14:46

The front belt is made with good old Home Depot shelf liner. It has a very good surface for picking up the balls.

In order to improve the accuracy of the dump, the shooter roller speed is varied by the distance to the target. Also, the camera can be used to assist the driver in making the final moves toward the goal. We think it should be a quick scoring machine at distances up to three feet.

How did you join the product from Home Depot into an endless loop?

Woot! Another impressive looking (and performing I take it) bot from Robbe.

Hope to play together in Philly real soon

jfischer · #10 10-02-2009, 15:04

We used "Hammer-in Steel Alligator Belt Lacing #7" from McMaster-Carr (Part #6110K153) to make the belt ends.

Nice and clean. I assume you are willing to justify your use of what looks like a legal bumper?

jfischer · #14 12-02-2009, 11:23

We went to Florida the last two years and really enjoyed the event. Due to budget limitations, we will be staying closer to home this year. We will be going to New York City and Philadelphia.
