Re: FRC2016 Mighty Monkey Wrenches 2012 Robot Video
First!
Sorry, Tyler, it had to be done. I'm noticing a few trends from previous years: 1. 6 motor drive train (why the obsession with pushing power? )2. Blue lights 3. Awesome I never saw the hood over your shooter adjust its angle, but it does look like it can. Is this the case? Also, I'm assuming you are planing to put the bridge pusher back on, or was it removed for something even cooler? Looks great, good luck this year! Last edited by electron : 29-02-2012 at 18:11. |

Bridge lowering arm is on in the robot picture. It sits within the intake mouth. Last edited by Lowfategg : 29-02-2012 at 18:16. |

How are you tipping the bridge? I don't really notice any mechanism on it for doing so

It was taken off before bagging and the video for refinement. You can see it in the photo of the robot in the intake opening.

Awesome looking robot. Simple and extremely effective.
Very curious how you feed the shooter and get the balls to line up so compactly. Care to elaborate? |

There is a top feed roller that stops the balls before the shooter. The belts of the elevator just spin against the balls as they stack up against each other.

Re: FRC2016 Mighty Monkey Wrenches 2012 Robot Video
thanks for all the comments..
tyler has answered all the questions so i dont even need to be here. I will just let him virtual coach from WPI also.. hahaha. looking forward to getting it on the field against other bots and seeing its potential. I will answer the 6 motor question also, we will never give up 6 motors on the drive ever again, that gearbox and train is amazing and takes the need of two speed out of the equation.. Other than that good luck guys... |

I've never quite understood the whole 6 motor single speed thing. Otherwise though it's a very clean solid looking robot. Should be quite the contender

heh... if you wanna see more proof of solid drive train, look up 2010 finals match 2 for NJ regional. it is one of the most intense matches I have ever been a part of from a driving standpoint...
also theres nothing better than being able to push a defending robot across the field sideways ![]() |
