Re: Wave Robotics 2826 Mini-bot 1.45 sec!

Will one-second minibots be so light that they don't have enough momentum to depress the switches at the top of the pole?

Seriously, thouh, great job, guys! We were pretty happy with our sub-three-second minibot, but are constantly looking for upgrades.

Your traction comments are... ...interesting.

Re: Wave Robotics 2826 Mini-bot 1.45 sec!

I'm making the assumption that you guys modified the Tetrix transmissions to remove several stages of inefficient gearing.

However, I still have no idea what magic tractive material you found.

Non-metallic rope or cord...that could be just about anything that's grippy!

Are you guys feeding steroids to your robots again? I didn't see those on the list of approved minibot parts...

Re: Wave Robotics 2826 Mini-bot 1.45 sec!

The wheels are made from unobtanium which is a string like material that can be converted to just about anything you want including traction on metal wheels and tetrix transmissions.

Re: Wave Robotics 2826 Mini-bot 1.45 sec!

Hmmmn, non metalic rope/cord...
Nylon!
Could the wheels be covered in nylon rope/cord?
Nice job on the minibot, we have rebuilt ours 3 times already.
Bleh.
But again about the nylon, could that be used?

Are you planning on having more than one minibot at competitions, for potential use on your alliance's robots?

Re: Wave Robotics 2826 Mini-bot 1.45 sec!

Weight is currently at 2.23 lbs including battery and two motors

We have traditionally used nylon as a low coefficient of friction material, especially againt metal. Ours does not contain rope or nylon.

We will be bringing at least 3 to competitions and a spare deployment system that we could "possibly" put on an alliance members bot.

Re: Wave Robotics 2826 Mini-bot 1.45 sec!

Forgive my cynical pragmatism: I just don't see the point in gloating about a 1.6 second minibot that doesn't have the battery or switches onboard. On the other hand, the grippy material is a fun teaser; I have an idea but I'd need to test it to see if it's truly grippier than rubber.

The battery was on board.

Hmm, our team is sort of struggling as far as the mini-bot goes. From that video i have no idea where your motors are...
