Video of 1114

[barn34]

I have to completely agree with the movement speed being the most differentiating factor. They still intake and stack fast, but it's the freedom of movement that's so advantageous. When we get a full stack, we naturally slow down to get it scored on the platform. They don't. They can still drive like a banshee and not have to worry about the stack stability. That's incredibly impressive. Again, job well done 1114. This may be your most inspiring robot to date. And that's saying something.

I Can't help but point out that the entire stack is tilted back a bit when they are on flat ground because their back wheel is lower then the other two. This i would imagine does wonders to move the whole stack in a stable fashion. Anyways, when they go onto the ramp, the two front wheels are off to the side, the back wheel is higher because its on the ramp, and suddenly the whole stack is flat.

Well done!!

Just checking to see if this is the right link. It seems to show only a little of 1114.

i agree with all the above its amazing to see how fast they can go without losing the stack and in fact watching it sway back and forth

186pts, 4 6 stacks with RCs.
And stacked tote set in auto. How did I forget about the stacked tote set.

I apologize ahead of time, but this seems like a perfectly justifiable response...

Holy. $@#$@#$@#$@#.

Is that ramp part of Simbotics? And is the third robot just sitting on the field (behind the monitor blocking the view)? What's the story there?

Wow just wow. The level of thought and engineering that went into the claw that grabs the RC and rights them to the bin grab and stack (placeholder) to the level of movement is just amazing. Haven't seen a 1114 up to this caliber until this year. It takes the cake.

Everything is fast and fluid. After they score a stack, the claw that hold the RC drops back down in about a second. I have to wonder if there is a lot of automation going on with the mechanisms that builds the stacks. It would be virtually impossible for a driver to know when to "press the button" since they are usually facing away from the drivers. The only robot that comes close in stacking speed (single robot) is Red Crusade (4613, a rookie!) and they use a lot of automation to get their stacking speed.

yea the ramp was attached to the third robot, and I believe it didn't move.

[dtengineering]

When 148 posted their reveal video there were several people ready to just hand them the championship.

Not to take away from 148's obvious awesomeness, nor to suggest that 148 and 1114 wouldn't be perfectly happy as allies...

but did I just hear those folks saying "Game ON!"

I expect 1114 to be good, but... wow. That's insane.

I would imagine that once the Driver gets the totes into the wheels/pinchers (it looks like a crab ) and thus into the robot body the rest is automated. You are right, it is too fluid, consistent, and accurate to be the driver alone.

Actually, I'd suspect the RC claw height is passive. But yes, there seems to be a lot that's automatic, either in software or in physics.
