Pictures of Curie!!

I created this google doc for information on teams. If some of my information is wrong please correct it. Also there are a few teams that I could not find information on so if you know the information please add it.

And here is a photo of our robot equipped with a stinger that has already enabled a triple balance and was with 100% success on the Coop bridge.

All of our match videos are here.

Here's FRC Team 1501 doing what it does best:

FIRST Team 461 Westside Boiler Invasion.

Now for the pitch:

Six wheel tank drive. 4 CIM's. Great pushing power and traction.

We can cross the bump.

We can tip the bridge down from behind, or push the bridge up from the front for someone else to get on.

Yes, we are a long base robot, but we have a center wheel drop and an extremely low and back CoG. Thus, we can hang about 17 inches off of the bridge, and still be soundly situated on 4 wheels. See our quadruple balance at 45's practice field here for more dynamics.

We are very willing to balance on the scoring bridge or co-op bridge, and can do both effectively and quickly.

Our shooting was about average at our two competitions, but at DC we discovered we had a Jaguar that was shorting. We have since fixed this and just yesterday we made 21 teleop-style three-point shots in a row without missing. We use a microsoft live webcam that we stripped of the IR filters and added a filter to only allow IR, and a beagle board off-board processing to not lag down the cRIO/processing (im not a programmer so my nomenclature could be wrong). This leaves us with an IR-based super accurate turreting shooter that won't be affected by outside lights or colors.

We have a lot of experienced mentors, ranging from previous members of our team to programmers studying currently at Purdue University to the Senior Mentor of Indiana FIRST as our lead mentor. We are very well known for always having a part someone needs, so if you break down in qualifications/eliminations, we're there to give you stuff. We even bring pneumatics even though we don't have any on our robot.

I (the strategist of the team) will also talk to all 5 teams before every match in qual's, so you can also guarantee a vast knowledge of our opponents and their game plans.

Good luck to everyone!
-Duke, FIRST Team 461

Picture from packup day
So far we changed only two things
We improved the bridge arm from an anemic slap to being able to take the bridge down after a couple of attempts
We adjusted the camera so that we can use it to line up our bridge manipulator as well as for shooting

We will be adjusting the bridge manipulator some more to get the bridge on the first try

Here is team 624's robot.

3929's robot (picture courtesy of team 25)

http://gallery.raiderrobotix.org/MAR...veDSP/IMG_2083

Mt. Olive District winners with 25 and 222. 3 time Rookie All Star winner. 2nd best bridge balancer at the MAR Championship. Capable of triple balancing (in practice, not tried in real match). Hangs 8-10" off the bridge. Consistent 1 ball 3pt auton, working on consistency of the 2nd ball. Multiple autonomous modes (fed team 25 in Mt. Olive http://gallery.raiderrobotix.org/MAR-2012-Events/Mt-Olive/MtOliveDSP/IMG_2608). Working on getting better shooting this weekend with our practice bot and indexing balls better in the conveyors thanks to a local 'flowery' team.

Biggest thing we can boast is our bridge balancing skills, our drive doesn't roll on the bridges, we're geared for around 10fps with 8wd. We can also tip our robot 60 degrees before tipping over. The CoG is about 5" off the ground and weighted a bit more towards the back so we can hang off the bridges.

As Shaun (coach of 25) said in an EWCPcast, we're a pretty darn good "gopher bot" meaning "go for this" and "go for that" and we will get it done. I trust my drivers to play smart and calmly in most situations.
