Canburglar Mechanisms

Canburgler- A robot component designed to retrieve recycling container(s) from the step in autonomous.

My quick list would be:
27
33
118
610
987
1114
2056
2137
3322

My list is skewed heavily to Michigan and big name teams. I would also like to count only teams that have done it in a competition, videos are easy make when you have unlimited takes.

Add 1736. We consistently took at least 1 off the step during auto at Central Illinois. Video here of a 'race' to the step.

Here's a playlist if you would like to see how consistent we were. We took at least one off in autonomous in all but our first qualification match.

I think 3310 gets top slot in this list. 0.25s dual can grab before bag day.

1918 and 1718 have them as well.

You can't make a list of canburglars without mentioning 1678 who is now completely redesigning theirs again. The videos YPatrick linked to here show that both they and 971 had them at Sacramento.

16's reveal video showed a 2 container auto, and this video you can see them aiming for two and getting one.

At Alamo, 4063 had a 4 container auto that hooked onto the handles, and 2415 had a 2 container one (I believe 2415 only had it in elims though). I'm not sure if there are videos of Alamo recorded as they're not on TBA.

2848 got 3 out of 4 (and knocked the 4th over onto their side) here

This video shows 1986 getting 2

An updated list (adding every team that has been mentioned so far):
16
27
33
118
610
971
987
1114
1339
1678
1718
1736
1918
1986
2056
2137
2415
3310
3322
4063

From the match videos that I have seen teams 118 and 1678 seem to be the fastest. Both robots do not need to move before releasing their can grabbers. In order to reach the 2 cans their arms extend out as/or after they are released.(required to stay below the 78" height limit) Most other robots must drive to the totes before releasing their arms.
Does anyone that has seen these robots in person know how the arms are extended?
Thanks
Also, 558 and 329 can be seen grabbing cans here

Sure about that?

[Dave Campbell]

Team 144 - regularly at Pitt and next week at QCR - seen here about 7:04 of this video

365. They're grab is actually pretty quick, though I think they're still working on how long it takes to back up. Example match. (This is just the first match I clicked on; I only watched the first few seconds.)

[George1902]

I wonder how long this list is going to get...

Here's an example of 180's mechanism in Orlando:

Add 548 to the list

It really doesn't matter who is fastest at getting to the bins... it matters who comes away with them , I'm excited to see these mechanisms go head to head.

Team 141 (the WOBOTs) also have a canburglar mechanism. We went head to head in Match 34 at West Michigan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODyiCO4gpSU&list=PL6fCSvDccI_5gbCNQx9POAMI p7RVa0Xfc&index=30

We inadvertently had our getaway in "delay" mode, so we both had hold of the same can - 141 by the handle and 1918 by the lid. We took the can and also part of their "hand". Later, they stopped by our pit and "gave us the finger", decorated with a fingernail and knuckle. We all had a good laugh.

I think 329 should be on this list ^.^ but I have a horse in the race. We are about 300-400ms in Waterloo playoffs and we are looking to go faster this week (no more need to drive back)

I'm going to disagree, it's 100% about who gets there first, it's very easy to prevent your opponents from grabbing it once your mechanism is there before you even pull them back.

Considering both us and 118 are scraping our mechanisms I think I can tell you all about them. I was a little surprised when I first saw their telescoping mechanism because was actually completely identical to ours which was kind of funny.

We both have round tubing held inside of square tubing. We used a bearing block on the outside of the square tubing, and an internal bearing block on the end of the round tubing inside to keep it constrained at two points while it slid.

We both extended our mechanisms by just running a string from our elevator frame down the end of the square tubing to the bottom of the round tubing. As the arm traveled through it's range of motion the string would pull the round tubing up through the square tubing the exact same amount every time it fired.

I can also tell you though that 3310's mechanism was faster than ours when we were running it with two motors (decided we didn't need all 6 for sac since it's getting scrapped anyways).

Hope that answers your question.
