Team 254 Presents: Deadlift Technical Binder 2015

Is there any footage of 254 using their can-burglars in autonomous? It doesn't have to be in a match, I am just curious to see how fast they are. They look similar in design to 3339's with piston placement and whatnot.

The pneumatic ones are very slow compared to top can grabbers. The geared ones (never made it onto our robot in competition) are extremely fast. Likely within the margin of error of the fastest ones out there.

Can confirm, very fast.

Are there any videos of this?

Whoa. That geared version...I'm a little scared of it.

Why didn't that geared version make it onto the final robot?

They put a pair on some wood poverty robot that went 2 for 2 with can grabs.

LOL, poverty robot...

These probably won't be seeing use with the lack of bin wars at Chezy champs, right?

Yeah, a pretty dang good 'wood poverty' robot.

The pneumatic one worked fine for quals - where we used it to grab another can off the step with the lasso method seen at SVR. The geared version was shorter and not really designed for the same purpose. We also always hoped we wouldn't need to put the fast grabber on, as we could cheesecake two robots and could continue with our 20 pt autonomous, which also had us starting the match with a can in our grabber.

Would there be a build blog?

It is unlikely.

Anyway, thanks for posting these. It's way more than what most teams share and super interesting.
