 It's not about a team having lots of money to spend to travel the world to share FIRST but how the team draws the world into their FIRST experience. - Steve W [more] |

Re: So how many of you actually have a working minibot/deployment?
We have a bat, that when released by a servo, gets surgical tubing'd into the tower. Then a pin releases, allowing the minibot to get slung down with its platform having more tubing on it. Fast and little accuracy required.
.. .. Providing if it works when we get it on the robot...

Re: So how many of you actually have a working minibot/deployment?
We are ready to go. Deployment minibot and all. My amazing programers have eliminated the need for my team to line it up. We use three IR sensors two that see the base and one up top that looks at the pole. We have used these sensors before too see how accurate they can be look at this video from last year. Obviously this isnt the same thing as this year but we were able to use this code and modify accordingly.

Re: So how many of you actually have a working minibot/deployment?
We decided to NOT build a mini-bot! Instead, we built a great deployment system, that will deploy a mini-bot on to the tower as long as we are +/- 5 inches off of center from the pole. We spent two weeks designing the specs for the deployment system, and then sent those specs to our FTC teams....
We let our FTC teams build the mini-bots, and we have a great one that we are bringing with us to our regionals! A big THANK YOU! to the Ryken HS FTC LabVIEW Knights, for a job well done!

Re: So how many of you actually have a working minibot/deployment?
We had a ~4.5 second climb with a battery that died immediately after on our "A" minibot.
Our Plan B should be a lot better.

Re: So how many of you actually have a working minibot/deployment?
Ours works. It stays on the robot through the match, deploys speedily, and climbs the pole quickly. We'll be tweaking the few remaining issues in coming days.

Re: So how many of you actually have a working minibot/deployment?
No FTC team, no extra money, no time, no minibot.
 Though we did have an idea for a trap-launcher like arm that puts the minibot on the pole.
