Do you know if there is any link to 1501, a pic or a video?

Thanks for the compliment, although honestly we are trying to make this year our comeback so I hope we can impress at Gull Lake. This time we have completed the entire robot so we can spend our 6 hours and tomorrow having the drivers practice, tuning our programming, and fixing electrical issues. Driving over basketballs is a lot easier than it initially seemed, at least there is no penalty for that unlike in 2010.

No I don't. But based on your video, theirs is extremely the same when it come to the stacking.

Re: Team 2054's Finished Robot Yotube

The ramp at Code Red Robotics, (and all others i have seen) was unweighted, so theoretically it should be easier in-match to balance than it was their.

Re: Team 2054's Finished Robot Yotube

Here's a picture of 1501 robot. I wasn't there to see it, so I don't know if it was difficult or easy to pull off.

Side note, that bridge was weight and balanced.

Thanks for the pic, at least there is one other robot who has the same strategy as us.
Also as the member from team 2075 said the bridge at code red wasn't balanced or weighed

We also have a stacking bot. We did a 3 bot balance, Sat night, which took some practice but it's definitely doable. We have some work to do on our "seatbelt" mechanism, but it will be fun to see in action at a competition. We'll have pics and video up tomorrow or Wed.

How are others securing the top robot so it doesn't roll off or endo when balancing?

Sounds cool looking forward to the pics, it must be a viking thing to stack robots on another.

Re: Team 2054's Finished Robot Yotube

Note the small diameter, rigid wheels on 1501. For 2054, if there was some way you could put a small, rigid wheel (or some form of stabilizer under the extension) on the "loaded" end of your chassis as close to the frame perimieter as possible, that would improve your stability on the ramp. It would probably restrict you to crossing the barrier from one side of the robot only, but that shouldn't be a problem with your chassis/pneumatic tires at the other end of the bot.

Excellent robot. It was an honor to practice with you guys and Code Red last weekend.

We have actually added a piece that will support the weight when another robot is on us. So we dont tip forward

Re: Team 2054's Finished Robot Yotube

Again another year with an excellent robot from 2054. Can't wait to compete with/against you again. As far as will it work, every year that we had a robot that required another robot to drive onto us the biggest issue was another robot actually doing it. Issues like not providing enough time to make it happen/ robot faults/ alliance defense to prevent are serious issues for ramp bots to complete the action. I have no problem with our robot giving it a shot when we get to Niles.
