Sabre Bytes 772 - 2013 - Present FLASH

[akoscielski3]

Here is 772's 2012 robot "FLASH!"

The team worked hard to make the most Simple and Fastest robot we could.

Our goal was to have a human loading robot that could pick up off the ground for autonomous and end game purposes, we figured out our picker upper was illegal, and will possibly have a new one after FLR.

The shooter is a simple 90 degree shooter with a direct driven 6inch VEXPro traction wheel. The feeding system is a simple bucket with a belt underneath that pulls the Frisbees into the shooter. We have gotten this to shoot 4 Frisbees, accurately, in 0.9 seconds. Keeping with the simplicity we don't even have an angle adjustment, we shoot from the middle of the pyramid mostly, and have other places to shoot from also.

We have a very simple 10 point hang that uses two pneumatic pistons to pull our robot up off the ground. We have the shooter far enough over that we can shoot while hanging in the 2 point goal.

We have two 18 point autonomous, one of which you can see at the end of the video.

And yes there is a reason why the shooter shoots out the side of our robot rather then the front/back. (if I told you please don't post it)

The lights will not be flashing like that during matches.

We will be at Finger Lakes Regional, Waterloo Regional, and Greater Toronto West Regional!

Hope to see you at Champs!!
