Re: Baxter Bomb Squad 2014 ~ Nighthawk
Does your pickup mechanism have to pick up and pass on the ground, or can you accept a pass directly from another robot by pulling the arm up and running the rollers in?
It appears there are a couple of bars on your shooter that stick up, but they seem to flex when the ball enters the robot in the video. Would those bars or the intake dimensions prevent you from taking a bumper to bumper pass? |

Like JTN said, those "fingers" rotate down as the ball is pulled in, so they won't get in the way. The intake is narrower than the ball, so it would need some pushing from the passing robot and pulling in with our beater bar to make it work. The details probably lie in how well the robots mate up. |

https://github.com/FRCTeam16/Macys2014 We have several robots on that GitHub site, but this one is probably the cleanest for swerve drive code. |

Re: Baxter Bomb Squad 2014 ~ Nighthawk
The slipring allows power to be given to the CIM while still allowing the wires to spin. So basically the module does spin like a coaxial module without all the space.

And without the power losses associated with bevel gears.

Re: Baxter Bomb Squad 2014 ~ Nighthawk
I didn't really want to start a new thread for one match video, but here is our 2014 robot in action this weekend! We still have some improvements to make before Queen City. (The balls were much more inflated than we expected at the competition, causing a bit of trouble in auto, but all should be worked out very soon)

Re: Baxter Bomb Squad 2014 ~ Nighthawk
So that was fun to watch, but I can't figure out why the defenders never so much as bumped you while you shot? I would've thought they'd be clobbering you???

Re: Baxter Bomb Squad 2014 ~ Nighthawk
Is that the same model you guys used in Nighthawk? And where can I find it, is it in Andy Mark? Im a big fan of your work, greetings from team Roult 4403

Re: Baxter Bomb Squad 2014 ~ Nighthawk
Team 16 makes their own swerve modules, though some of the parts are COTS items available for purchase through FRC parts retailers.

Re: Baxter Bomb Squad 2014 ~ Nighthawk
The model shown is our 2014 model. The CAD models for the 2014 season will be available following the World Championship upon request. Unfortunately, our swerve modules cannot be purchased from any vendor such as AndyMark as they were designed and manufactured by our team. They are the result of 8 years of development and much frustration. The part shown is only half of the equation however, as the modules must be programmed.
