Re: VEXpro Build Blitz

There is a shot of Paul and Karthik doing some hard core math on a white board. Can we get a description of what they were calculating?

On the JVN side there was CAD of a 72 tooth gear, something VEXpro does not make. Will this appear as a nse item, or is there a new base design?

Thanks

VEXPro certainly does offer this gear.

Ah, there was a point. "VEXpro makes every single gear... EXCEPT a 72 tooth with bearing bore, which is OF COURSE the one we need!"

15h
JVN is listing every single gear that VEXpro makes out loud. 1:30 am is starting to get the best of some of us....
This is what I was talking about...

Yes, we'll be releasing all CAD files once they're complete.

Re: VEXpro Build Blitz

The camera looking into the TeamCopioli CAD room is actually in the room next door because I refuse to turn off LL Cool J Radio on Pandora so the sound won't pick it up.

Regarding the drawings and CAD, the plan for TeamCopioli is to release all of the 3D CAD files and all of the drawings that we created for the build before the end of the day on Tuesday.

I'm only familiar with "Here's most of the CAD, the rest I got lazy and didn't add in, but you get the idea!"



Very cool stuff! Watching the feeds for all these 3 day builds has been fun, can't wait to see the final results!

"Complete" is a very relative term. (Anyone who has ever seen the 1114 CAD models know exactly what I mean.)

Re: VEXpro Build Blitz

Apologies if this was mentioned in the streams/chats/etc, I've only had time to tune in sporadically, and can't currently since I'm at work (hush, nobody tell my boss I'm on CD righ tnow).

Quick question for team JVN (I have no twitter, which seems to be the preferred contact method?). Has the thought of the "lay-up"/easily caught shot been completely abandoned? I remember you were able to adjust the trajectory of your shot on your prototype by changing how the ball was held, the lever's initial point, and the release point. Did you ever try deflecting a (close to) vertical shot? Think 67 in 2006. It's likely far too late to add one to the final Build Blitz bot at this point, but it would be wonderful to see the prototype try a shot like this.
