Re: Robowranglers 2016 Season Recap

This season we decided it would be more beneficial to put our focus into making sure our robot was prepared for the upcoming competitions. As a result, there were certain choices we had to make regarding a reveal video. It was more important for us to create a smaller scale video for our open house.

Hopefully in the coming weeks we will be posting 2016 Renegade CAD.

Our hanger is deployed by pneumatic cylinders. Once the cylinders deploy, a bottom linkage hyperextends then locks in place causing the bottom versa tube to extend out. Next, 30lb gas shocks deploy the top versa tube and latches on to the tower. Our hanger is winched up by a 775pro which is attached to the drum. The straps that pull Renegade up are weaved through the drum and connected to the hooks at the very top of the hanger.

During the build season we designed a prototype drive train. This drive consisted of 2 775pro motors on each side of the drive. Through testing this prototype we decided to go with 2 CIM ballshifters because we felt they would be more reliable to handle the tough circumstances of Stronghold. Also from this prototype we saw that we needed to change from #25 chain to #35 chain for durability.
