Team 973 2015 Robot Reveal

Team 973, the Greybots are pleased to present to you their 2015 robot Sandstorm!

Reveal Video

Sandstorm and 973 will be competing at the Inland Empire and Los Angeles Regional! Also we'd like to thank all of our sponsors for everything this year. It wouldn't be possible without you guys and a big shout out to Jackie and Lucas, a mentor and student on the team who helped put this all together!

For curious individuals, the link to the original song is here.

Re: Team 973 2015 Robot Reveal

Very nice. I like how the bin arm is packaged with the carriage. I'm loving the innovation. Knowing 973 there's bound to be something not shown (or not clearly shown) in this video, so no doubt all eyes will be on the Greybots at IE tomorrow morning.

Re: Team 973 2015 Robot Reveal

What's the reasoning behind the large carriage? Lower COG? It looks quite stable.
What are the second set of rollers for?
And most of all:
what wheels are those!? They grip the totes like magic.
Looks like a great robot as always.

Yep. It's on the real robot as of a couple hours ago, I've seen it. (Not shown at all, I believe.)

What it is... Y'all are just gonna have to watch the webcast. I'm not even sure I know what it all does...then again, I haven't seen their robot in action yet.

From what I have seen, they are used to make sure that the totes come into the robot from the human station correctly. We are having a major problem with the totes not landing flat from human station. It has really stumped many teams.
