The "tubenator" fits in between the sides of the mast. It deploys at the beginning of the match and is held in place by a one-way hinge.

That's definitely something I'll have to check out if we wind up as pit mates at the Championship again!

Alamo is turning into a mini Midwest. It's going to be an honor to be crushed by a HoF, and an original & sustaining team, with a little Magic sprinkled in...

Re: Bomb Squad 2011 Robot Unveil

Great Looking robot can't wait to see it in action at Alamo. That gripper concept is truly unique and it appears to be extremely effective. Do you guys have selectable control modes for your swerve, most of the driving at the end looked almost like tank instead of swerve?

Also Paul don't count yourself out yet, 1429 brings a great robot every year. Alamo is going to have a lot of great robots for a first year regional.

Darn. I just lost the bet I made with myself about a day or two after kickoff when I proclaimed, to myself driving to work, that I was looking forward to 16's 3-wheeled robot this year.

Awesome machine. Best of luck to the Novaks and all to of the Squad.

We have 3 drive modes: tank with a center pivot, tank with a pivot centered between the front wheels, and crab.

Meredith,

That robot looks outstanding! I can't wait to see you all this coming week. Definitely going to be a brawl for the first Alamo Champions.

See you soon,
Parker

Re: Bomb Squad 2011 Robot Unveil

Ours looks a lot like that, actually.

Simple box frame with a Mecanum drive, 'forklift' arm, standard bumpers. (no minibot, though.)

We actually have a pretty cool idea for the bumper attachment that you may like:

The bumpers have inch long brackets similar in shape to sections of C-channel attacked to them with holes aligned with the C-channel itself, and the two are connected by running a pin through the bracket and C-channel. The pin is a quarter-inch wide, 2-inch long metal rod with a pull ring at one end and a spring loaded ball on the other end that causes it to stay in the hole when inserted. To remove the bumpers, you simply pull the rings.

We found this when messing around with one of the pins and a piece of C-channel in our mentor's basement last year.

Re: Bomb Squad 2011 Robot Unveil

is your crab coaxial? or are the motors "in pod"
