Team 399: Eagle Robotics Presents: X-1

[Jeremy Germita]

Hello All!

FIRST Team 399 is proud to present our entry into the 2012 FRC game, X-1.
X-1 represents 6 weeks of hard work, breaking barriers in terms of our traditional work flow and processes.

Specs:
Drive train: 2 speed drivetrain. 15 feet per second in high gear, 4 feet per second in low gear. 8 wheel drive with 4 inch wheels. Geometry allows for traversal of any obstacle in Rebound Rumble.

Conveyor belt: Polycord conveyor belt. Ground to turret in about 2 seconds.

Turret: 340 degrees of motion. Camera controlled turret angle. Closed loop positioning for other functions and safety limits. RGB light ring on camera allows for dynamic control of camera tracking range(some colors track better at certain ranges than others)

Shooter: 6" wheels powered by two FP motors and geared for 4500 RPM. can shoot from about mid field. Closed loop velocity control using constant voltage control(not percent voltage control).

"Dropper": Our bridge/bump traversal tool. Uses mechanical linkages to transfer load into structure and not actuators. Acts as a wheelie bar in the case of forward tipping.

Length: 27.5"
Width: 37.5"
Height: 54.5"
Weight 118 lbs



Thanks to our sponsors: NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Boeing, JT3, ITEA, BAE Systems, JCPenney, Aerovironment, Superior Grocers, Lancaster High School, and the Antelope Valley High School district.

Also thanks to Pacific Coast Coating for giving a discount on our powdercoating and the NASA Dryden Machine shop for machining our parts!
Team 399 is both proud and honored to be a part of the East West Collaboration Project(thanks, guys!).
