pic: What is Team 229 up to now?

[kgzak]

Just a question. Are two cims needed on the center omni? Looks nice.

Well, I guess you aren't doing Premiere Night... So when do we get to find out about the other half? And do we get to find out while listening to another Justin Bieber cover?

Will that center wheel break traction before you fully utilize the torque from two CIMs?

Who says we aren't?

Your full subsystem posted in public says so.

Ah, but it is not complete. They left out their 6th omni wheel for this exact reason

I guess I have to read Delphi for more than just rule updates.

CD has been rather quiet for this time of year and I think it has to do with "Premier Night". I'd much rather see sharing and inspiration flowing here than sit and watch a bunch of videos of robots showing what they can do when the elements are perfect.

Probably not but the HS students did what made sense to them. Their thought process was that if forward/backward movement was powered by 4 CIMs, they should use as many more as possible (the remaining 2) on lateral movement.

There will definitely be a video for at least one of the two robots....

Music...well, you'll have to wait and see

We're currently working on a way to actively engage the center omni (probably a spring or some funky distribution of weight) to push it into the floor as best as we can. As it sits right now, I haven't done any experimentation/calculation that would give us a definitive answer but I believe you'd be right in your suspicions.

You caught me....

Gotta stop drafting CD posts after midnight...five turns into six.

Agreed. While I understand their motivation in order to make their show the best, I think the unintended consequences have hurt the Chief Delphi community.

I fail to see how hyping up things BEFORE the show would not be beneficial. Knowing what a few of the teams that are planning on being on there are doing I think they could come up with some interesting teasers (akin to this one and 488's drive) without revealing the total system.

We have stated that drive trains are ok to post.
