We have nothing but a frame and a box of mecanum wheels. We are probably doomed.

Re: Stop Build

We'll be done by Saturday, which would give us 3 days to drive and shoot and calibrate then comes the tough decision of what to take off the robot to withhold from Ship. Drive has technically been done for a week and a half now, just hasn't looked the prettiest.
Yes, I still call it Ship Day, simply because it sounds better than "Stop Build day".

Edit: I don't normally celebrate posts, but I imagine celebrating my "pi" post is in order.

Re: Stop Build

We tested our ball manipulator today, and it "worked", so now we need to fix that, test the bridge lowerer, finish assembling the shooter, finish wiring, and drive, drive, drive!

Re: Stop Build

We are done, though we have to finish our second bot for a demo a week after ship date... crunch 2.0

Good luck to all of you!

Re: Stop Build

Aloha from Oahu!

Done but... 122 lbs. So, not done. But almost done. But, lots more programming to finish. But, ready for drive tests... almost.
And I feel your pain. We used Pro E for mass analysis using the density of 6061, only the density it had was wrong.... So instead of a 110 lb robot we ended up with one that was around 128. After making the hole saw set our best friend and finding fastening alternatives we got it down to 121.4 today. Almost there!

All in all, we have pretty much finished the robot and will begin practicing and debugging. Good luck!

Re: Stop Build

Oh, the 122 thing was just a snapshot. We're down to 115 now (Weight Watchers for robots!). Bot is moving to the practice space today, I think. Now the drivers and programmers get to duke it out, for the next few days.

Practice bot is in the works. But the builders just don't want to let go of the competition bot.

Programmers say all the critical stuff is working but they need to tweak autonomous and work on automatic bridge balancing stuff. I am skeptical... (probably because my son is one of them and I know him pretty well!)

But we are (oh knock wood like you've never knocked before!) well ahead of where we've ever been before. Now I just have to go check those bumpers and make sure they're 3/4"...
