Re: Team 254 Presents: Barrage

At approximately 6.5 points/sec it is a bit of a shame that you have to play teleop.

If you were able to keep up the points per second rate from auto in teleop, you would score approximatlely 975 points by the end of a full match.

If anything, the fact that 254 can possess all 3 of their alliances starting balls at once is the real advantage here. Who cares if they score them? Just not having to chase one or two down for the first 20 seconds of the match is enough of an advantage.
Wait, if someone does manage to block their auto or they just miss somehow, wouldn't that wicked backspin they have on the ball cause it to roll to the opponents side of the field?

Anybody have a good picture of this linkage? I'm not exactly sure what part is being referred to here.

Re: Team 254 Presents: Barrage

Clean robot, as usual! Some clever use of pneumatic linkages and latches, very cool. I like how the deflector for the shooter is just floating up in the air on the end of a big moving frame.

I noticed a sponsor sticker on your robot that I haven't seen before... Team Whyachi. How is that working out? Do you have a rotational kinetic mechanism we can't see, or perhaps a new walking drivetrain?

Re: Team 254 Presents: Barrage

A really impressive robot. I like how the design is centered around the 3 ball capability for autonomous. This would definitely provide you with the flexibility to pickup from both sides in tight defensive situations. Amazing as always, Poofs!

I'm guessing that "CIM" in the belly of the robot is actually a Thomas 215 compressor. The motor on it looks a lot like a CIM.

What are those gray covers on the pneumatics tubing just before it goes into the fittings?

looks like shrink tubing labels. you can buy the label maker (similar to a label maker you can get at Staples...just more expensive) and the shrink tubing off of mcmaster.

That makes a lot more sense. Previously I had only seen the gray colored Thomas compressors from past KoP's.

We have many sponsors this year. Team Whyachi (http://www.teamwhyachi.com/botshop.htm) used their waterjet to cut the parts for our shooting hood linkage and rails, and various small plates. Terry Ewert runs a great family business, and is one of the smartest designers I know. They understand robot competitions from their days winning Battlebots events on TV.

Most importantly, they are super fast. DXF's were sent to them Sunday night, parts cut and shipped out Monday AM within hours. They stock most sizes of aluminum you would need, and can perform other full shop services as needed. They are very affordable because they charge based on actual hours spent, not an upfront quote, and the rates are not too high.

I have known Terry as a friend/competitor for a decade, and had them also do work for FRC190 when I was a mentor over there.
