Super work. That's a regional winner for sure, and also deserves some engineering and imagery awards. Best of luck!

Nice robot!
Amazing video, please pass it on to your video team!

Great robot! What wheels are you using for the shooters? And what motors are you using? My team is using 4" Stealth Wheels ran by mini cims, geared 1:1.67 with 3" of compression. We are having issues shooting so we may change the gearing again.

It was great playing with the Barker Redbacks at the week 0 scrimmage. Congrats on making a fantastic robot!

[Hjelstrom]

We are using 3.5 inch Colson wheels (hex bore), driven by 775pros with 4:1(5:1 originally, but 4:1 gives a faster launch speed) Versaplanetary gearboxes. 9mm belts and pulleys are used to transmit power from the gearbox to the shooter wheels, so the Versaplanetaries can be located behind the shooter wheels.

Awesome looking robot and video! I must have watched this reveal 30+ times, and am still noticing things that make me wonder, "Why didn't I think of that?"!

How wide of a range is your ground intake able to pick up boulders from? Also, how do you center the boulders so that your flywheel can consistently receive them, when the boulders are initially intaked from off-center of the launcher?

Thanks

They may be 4:1 now.... 5:1 wasn't quick enough
