Team 1114 - Simbot Sentinel

[The_ShamWOW88]

Another stunning example of what it takes to be one of the best....can't wait to see how the Toronto regional shapes up this weekend, hopefully get a chance to catch you guys in action this weekend.

Good Luck!!

Looks great! I almost decided to come up to Canada this weekend just to see you guys in action. Team IFI is looking strong.

Are you guys at 1114 going to release a CAD model of Sentinel? That would make my week!

This robot is intriguing. Usually we have a chance to see your bot at a regional, but this year we aren't going to any of the same comps. I may have to train out to the comp Saturday to catch a closer look.

I think I'm in love. I've been waiting for this forever.

Is that versaframe ?

Sally Port is easy with that robot and a skilled driver - I saw 11 execute a similar (in terms of profile) design and consistently get the Sally Port without assistance at MAR Mt. Olive. Basically what happens is you go backwards through it, spin around 180 degrees fast enough to lose contact, and then go back though. Similar for the drawbridge, though I'm not certain how that robot will keep it down - some have arms that extend out in front that retract for a fraction of a second and then come back down to hold it down.

You're probably right, I just didn't expect it (and so many?) when they already have a bolt and washer holding the bearing in. Is there a reason to also add bolts around the bearing to hold it more securely?

Will this robot climb with harpoons?

My guess is that they would release it after the season is over, similar to what they did for SideSwipe last year.

I guess that is a climber on the back there. They just deployed it in their practice match, but didn't have time to actually use it, it seems.

You're not going to windsor I hope, right?
