Re: Team 3637 Fully Functional Robot with Scissor Lift and Arm - Video and Pics

Looking good, team 3637.

As a friendly suggestion, make sure your claw isn't violating rule <R04>, especially the related blue box in the rules:

Quote:
If the ROBOT includes protrusions that form the “leading edge” of the ROBOT as it drives and are less than 1 sq.in. in surface area, it will invite detailed inspection. For example, forklifts, lifting arms, grapplers. etc. may be carefully inspected for these hazards.
Reasonable efforts must be taken to remove, mitigate, or shield any sharp edges, pinch points, entanglement hazards, projectiles, extreme visual/audio emitters, etc. from the exterior of the ROBOT. All points and corners that would be commonly expected to contact a GAME PIECE should have a minimum radius of 0.125” to avoid becoming a snag/puncture hazard. All edges that would be commonly expected to contact a GAME PIECE should have a minimum radius of 0.030”.
It looks like you guys might be getting close on the minimum radius for the tips of your claws.

--Ryan

Where are your safety glasses? Especially dangerous when you're using your claw to put the tube around a person's head.

Can you floor-load?

Ummm not on our heads?

We can't floor load. We aren't going to drop the tubes from the feeder anyway, so it shouldn't be an issue.

Congratulations on having a working robot about 16 whole days before ship date. Looks like you guys made an awesome, sturdy scissor lift.

Thanks! Yeah we just have to do minibot now. We have a team working on that now, the problem is going to be where we are putting the deployment mechanism.

It ways about 96 pound right now w/o battery or bumpers.

I think minibots don't count towards the 120 pounds just in case you didn't know alongside with the battery and bumpers.

Yep We know, we don't have that completely built yet (I don't think?). We are going to add some more metal almost like a spoiler look since we really don't have anywhere where we can put sponsors logos.

Thanks!

We knew we were light when we finished just the scissor part, the holes in the bracket at the bottom are there so we can see into the electronics.

If we have extra room after putting on the minibot deployment system, then we are going to add some bars of metal into it so we can distribute the weight better. We put it on race car scales and the front was 46 pounds and the rear was 50 pounds.

And yeah we all love Otis, he guards our robot. There is a great shot of him laying on his back in front of the robot in today's post on our website.
