Re: Team 254 Presents: Skyfire

The plan is for a reveal video to be released in the next week or so. The whole team has been iterating like crazy to boost the performance of this machine and we haven't had time to make the video quite yet.

Re: Team 254 Presents: Skyfire

Nice looking robot as usual. I can't wait to see it perform at SVR. The intake is (very) similar to 971's, and still a very good idea. What's your shooter setup, and what kind of ball detection do you have in the belts? Our programmers had me include over a dozen limit switches this year, and they are some of the most annoying things on the robot.

If you guys have a reveal video in the works, I'll save it.
We will have something to come after SVR.

Re: Team 254 Presents: Skyfire

I have been waiting for this one for awhile. It looks incredibly similar to 1538's robot http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...highlight=1538 with the exception of the pickup in the back.

Great looking machine, I can't wait to see it in action. Will there be a release of the build blog again this year?

Am I really tired, or did I not see a camera on the robot?

We will likely do that at the end of the season.

I too wonder about the location of the camera on this robot.
I saw a camera temporarily attached right in front of the flywheel of their practice bot last week.

Re: Team 254 Presents: Skyfire

A temporarily mounted camera points to a potentially under-developed autoaim and autopower software. In my experience, these two pieces of code can make a decent robot a superior robot. I know that the Space Cookies were having difficulties with their code at Davis, which could imply similar difficulties for the Cheesy Poofs. Anyone from 254 care to comment on the software features of this robot?

We'll show you...

In two days

at any rate, it's our opinion that relying on technology to improve your driver is a bad thing. We utilize the camera, but it will not make or break us.

Re: Team 254 Presents: Skyfire

I really want a closeup of the linkage in the bridge manipulator, curious what the motion path of it deploying looks like.

Re: Team 254 Presents: Skyfire

Awesome looking robot.

Some thoughts:

1. That bridge handler/ ball collector looks farily optimized to take balls off the bridge in auto with little effort.

2. There appears to be lots of room for a bridge balancer on this robot. Knowing 254...

3. two position hood means they shoot from the front of the fender and from the key.

4. Those "legs" on the collector maybe also somehow act as an incline to help the robot get over the barrier?

5. I'm glad we don't have to worry about playing that robot this week!

Regards, Bryan
