Re: Team 624 CRyptonite 2014 Reveal: Sidewinder
I thought those pistons were for some sort of intake.... whoa.
Looks like 624 just one-upped butterfly/octocanum drive ![]() |

Also, I know of at least one octocanum that uses a similar mechanism, but instead has two extra small modules in the center . |

Re: Team 624 CRyptonite 2014 Reveal: Sidewinder
Yes this is a 5 wheel omni drive in one mode and a conventional tank with colsons in the other mode. Transitioning between mode is by shifting the front colsons down lifting the omni wheels off the ground. This entire drivetrain can be built using COTS parts and simple tools (drill press and band saw). The center omni is biased down by 1/8". Will see how it holds up.

Re: Team 624 CRyptonite 2014 Reveal: Sidewinder
Nice robot -- I really like the drive & your high catapult. The lighting is a bonus, and it really looks sharp. Also, whomever did the video deserves a pat on the back.
Now, I have to ask -- how did you attach the camera to the ball at the end of the video? |

We put it in the protective case then...a lot of duct tape.

With some of the other teams coming (359), we will be spending a lot of time studying in the pit area.

As well as 2415, 3310, and several other Dallas powerhouses that I'm not familiar with.

Spectrum, Cryponite, and you guys all went with good DT's for this game...the ability to switch between defense and maneuverability will be very helpful. |

Re: Team 624 CRyptonite 2014 Reveal: Sidewinder
Thank you, our goal was to come up with a new idea by mixing ideas that have been used before. We are excited to see how it plays out at events and hope that teams might adopt the idea in the future since it uses all COTS items and can be manufactured without extremely expensive machinery that some teams may not have access to

Re: Team 624 CRyptonite 2014 Reveal: Sidewinder
NOW that is what I call a quality reveal. The maker of this video really deserves some credit. 624, a well known team, has once again made a product of exceptional quality. Alamo, Orlando, and Lone Star, Watch out!
