Re: under 2 sec Mini bot
Team 3015 here. We have made a mini robot that went up in 4 seconds or so with the battery on it. I was just wondering if that is considered good or bad?

Re: under 2 sec Mini bot
4 seconds as of right now seems a little below average on CD. However, I think that you'll find that at whatever compitition you go to that 4 seconds will certainly be competitive and you will win your fair share of minibot races.
Good Luck |

Re: under 2 sec Mini bot
Im proud to say that we can deploy in .3 seconds, so if anyone wants to loan us a minibot...

Re: under 2 sec Mini bot
Any team that gets a minibot to climb has done well. It isn't a matter of good or bad, just a question if your design is going to be more or less competitive measured against other minibots. According to many posts on this forum, there are several minibots able to climb in 2 or less seconds and many have indicated times in the 3 second range. If you want to improve your time, consider looking through this and other related threads for some ideas to help your team out. Consider modifying your gear ratios and reducing weight to reduce your climbing time, and keep trying to improve!

Also remember the proof is in the pudding. If you go and your minibot consistently climbs the tower, that makes you a very strong contendor no matter what. Many folks tend to.... "overstate" the potential of their robot/minibot. Wait till you see a couple competitions. After all, the minibot is not part of the allowance and as such you can work on it pretty much anytime to improve it. |

Re: under 2 sec Mini bot
This is excellent advice from a very consistent hanging team last year. Just like last year's bonus, many will attempt, but statistically few will succeed. At an absolute minimum, it is a 10 point endeavor if you consistently succeed. It takes a lot of tube hanging to make up those 10 points.

Re: under 2 sec Mini bot
In fact, it takes at least 3 tubes on the top row (3 in a logo in the middle row works too) to get 10 points. That's huge.

Re: under 2 sec Mini bot
Our team has protoyped two minibots with good results, and I still think we are far behind. A reliable, fast, rugged deployment method is challenging. Do not underestimate it.
I second all the comments regarding using the required masses to improve wheel traction. Our team will probably not be disguising our minibot in any way. Right now, it just kind of "feels wrong." If you have enough man-hours to devote to it, a sub-2-second climb is doable. We do not have enough man-hours. |

Re: under 2 sec Mini bot
I hear one FRC team in Phoenix is getting a whole other ex-FRC team (now FTC team) to develop their minibot. Yeah, it can take a lot of engineering effort to make an outstanding performer.
