Re: FRC 5969 - Rookie Robot is driving!
Why is it so wide? You might want a more narrow robot to play on the batter better.
Either way, great progress, especially for a rookie team. |

Re: FRC 5969 - Rookie Robot is driving!
How stiff is your frame in this configuration? I feel like any side impacts could cause severe damage to your rhino tread mounting plates without additional cross-bracing near the front of the robot (adding mechanisms that span the gap in front could resolve that)
What is the width of the robot right now? After adding in the bumper brackets, the length of the Rhino treads will be about 32 inches long. That leaves <28 inches per side, but the robot looks wider than that (maybe it's perspective in that photo?) Last edited by seg9585 : 11-02-2016 at 14:20. |

Re: FRC 5969 - Rookie Robot is driving!
Have you checked your frame perimeter? Knowing that those rhino-tracks are at least 30 inches long, I'm really concerned your frame perimeter will exceed the 120 inches allowed.
Great job overall, but please check your perimeter soonest. |

Re: FRC 5969 - Rookie Robot is driving!
+1 check frame perimeter if it can't fit through a doorway that would scare me. I wouldn't worry too much about ground clearance we have a rhino track clone and about an inch of ground clearance we have no problems going over obstacles build some field elements and try it out good luck

Just checked frame perimeter last night and made some adjustments! Thanks, everyone, for the advice! =)

Re: FRC 5969 - Rookie Robot is driving!
Update:
1. Fixed the chassis size. Perimeter is now 118 inches. 2. Added a shooting mechanism. Still need to figure out how to attach our window motor to the pivot point. =/ Photo |
