Canburglar Mechanisms

Um... I wasn't as surprised. Mostly because we copied 118's can grabber after watching their reveal video

Steal from the best, invent the rest! And after working with them at Sac, and can accurately and emphatically state that 118 is the best.

no one ever mentions the PNW :'(

we have 1318 who's auto works quite well... and well that's actually all I've seen in competition (for auto anyways)

skunkworks robotics has retrofitted one as shown here https://www.facebook.com/Skunkworks1983?fref=nf

and we are planning on a similar retrofit (functionality unknown as of now, I couldnt go to the meeting today)

It was even closer than I expected though, practically down to the bearing brand.

FRC558 has one, we ran Rev 1.0 and Waterbury and 2.0 at the Rhode Island District last week.

Found a fight over some cans https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8JMrLVWj2E (I know there was a post about that at some point but I cant find it so I'm just gonna put this here)

That's because you are missing quite a few (unless you are only talking about teams that have built one at an event).
Here a couple from the Wisconsin regional:
93-WI
1714-WI
2338-IL
2530-WI
2481-IL (Not at WI Regional but I know they have one)

There were a few more that I know I am forgetting.

1421, team Chaos from MS has one.

Team 4334 from Canada has one.

624 has one too, but we've never actually used it in competition (no need to, we've been the 3 tote auto team for our alliance at both of our regionals so far), so I guess it may not count officially.

Apparently taking bins from the middle almost every round makes it your signature move...

We do not have a canburglar but are in the design process. How do you build a world class 2 can canburglar with 4 lbs of weight to spare?

I don't know about world class, but ours works fast and hasn't missed one can in the five or six matches it was deployed yesterday. It weighed about 6 pounds. Its primary components are two fiberglass painting rods, a stick of .040" Vex VersaFrame, and two 1/2" bore 8" pistons. I bet my students who designed it would share it with you if you are interested, send me a PM.

537 has a canburglar mechanism (which we actually call a "hoarder").
We only used it a few times at Wisconsin, but we're getting it all ready to go for the Queen City Regional next week. Our is basically just a 4 bar linkage with a hook on the end. The mechanism is the inspiration for our robot's name this year, Captain Hook.

3418 (who was likely the best capper at Wisconsin) and 4531 both had one at Wisconsin. Both were effective and used in teleoperated.
