FIRST Robotics Competition Team 5817 "Uni-Rex" 2016 Robot Reveal: Ankylosaurus

FRC Team 5817 "Uni-Rex" is proud to present our FIRST Stronghold robot, Ankylosaurus.

This robot is the result of over 2000 hours of student time, and we are very proud of our team for getting this done in our first official year with FRC.

None of this would be possible without our parents and mentors, as well as our sponsors: POM Wonderful, ADCO, Sanger Unified School District, Sanger High School, SunBurst, Solidworks, Cap's Coating, and Electric Motor Shop, as well as many other generous donors.

Our robot is made almost entirely of 18 gauge, black powder coated stainless steel, with some custom designed 3D-printed parts.

You can watch our official reveal video here.

You can watch some additional footage here and here.

And just for reference, this is what an Ankylosaurus looks like.

Woah!

This looks so impressive from a rookie team! That shooter is so powerful

Re: FIRST Robotics Competition Team 5817 "Uni-Rex" 2016 Robot Reveal: Ankylosaurus

A rookie team... Finished robot that can complete major tasks of the game with 17 days to spare. With a functional swerve drive. Am I overreacting or is this possibly the best rookie team ever?

(Not to mention the gorgeous anodizing).

It is clear from the video that you have an Omnidirectional Drive, from the pictures and video I can't quite tell what it is can you elaborate?

Very neat. How are you getting so much power out of 2 cims for the shooter though?

Re: FIRST Robotics Competition Team 5817 "Uni-Rex" 2016 Robot Reveal: Ankylosaurus

We have a swerve drive setup with skids designed into the frame to allow us to climb over the defenses.

We are actually only running mini cims, we went through several prototypes getting the most powerful shot we could.

We are using a 4-wheel swerve drive based off of 221's Revolution swerve. All the parts were sourced by the team and built in-house. They have worked pretty well so far.

Baby swerve modules (and our offseason robot in the corner).

We are running a MiniCIM on each side, geared up at a 2:1 ratio. It puts the motors near the peak of their power curve, and we have seen up to 7000 RPM on the output.

Really impressive, especially for a rookie team. My only worry is your shot may be too powerful, if you hit the top of the goal it may bounce out even with the chains.

While they did pair up with another (very) strong team, that shouldn't take away from 2056's accomplishments. They were Rank 5 at their first event ever, and Rank 1 at their second and Rank 15 in their division*. A rookie team was in a position to pick 1114, that's an accomplishment. We would consider them stupid or egotistical for not picking them.

What if 5817 goes to CVR and gets picked 1st overall by 254? Are we going to take away 5817's accomplishments of being 1st overall pick at a very strong event because 254 picked them? I hope not. 2056 set a standard for what rookies can accomplish. 5817 could very well do the same, but we can't evaluate their rookie season just on the basis of their reveal.

It is, however, a HUGE accomplishment to complete that quality of a robot in a rookie season, no matter how experienced the mentors are. Color me impressed. From one rookie to another, I hope we see you at Championships, you clearly deserve to be there :-)

*Yes, I do know that 2007 had the weird match paring algorithm that could help strong young teams. It's still an incredible accomplishment.

You never know how a rookie team is going to do, my bases was off the fact that 2056 had experience the first year not many teams have that. This is by far my favorite rookie team so far.

Thank you, that means a lot.

But I agree, rookie teams who have the opportunity to observe and work with high-calibre teams definitely have an advantage going into their second season.* Even just making it to champs can be an eye-opening experience for a lot of teams.

* I'm not saying that is the sole reason 2056, did well, but it definitely helped.

Oh I mistook you all for 1671 earlier. I had no clue this was a rookie team. I am very impressed that you are all able to build such a well functioning robot despite having no prior frc experience. My team is going to be a rookie next year and we hope to be as good as you are.
