Re: Finally! Who has shipped?

Well, we finally screwed our last wing nut on at exactly 5:00AM Eastern Time. Took us 30 minutes to get out robot inside the crate, and tied down.

Re: Finally! Who has shipped?

i got home about 2 in the morning and the robot is pretty much done... software still needs to work on it... also some adjustment needs to be done... and as far as shipping goes... we got together bunch off tools to send in with the crate... and going to pack that crate in half an hour today after school...

it was a great building season... good luck to you all and see you all @ competition...

Re: Finally! Who has shipped?

269 was in the crate at 9:45PM last night, after some good old weight reduction and taking off what didn't work. I'll see my robot in St. Louis in 14 days!

Re: Finally! Who has shipped?

Congratulations to all who crated (or are in the midst of crating)! Getting through the six weeks is the first hurdle, and you're all well on your way to an exciting season.

Now, lets see some pictures of these beauties

Re: Finally! Who has shipped?

We put ours in the crate at 9pm last night, it's leaving this morning. Of course, an hour before we crated it a pot on our sensor got smashed to bits and a wire desoldered itself. Then half an hour later a Victor went kaput. Fixed the first two, but didn't have time for the Victor replacement...
That's what Thursday at Sacramento is for

Re: Finally! Who has shipped?

Team 708 isn't that bad off. Once we find out how much underweight we are, we'll see if we can add any bracing. We have a slight problem handeling sideways twisting and with skid steering. Other than that, we're pretty good. We stuck the bot in the box last night at 10:30 and shrink wrapped the crate. Luckey us that we can ship right from the school

Re: Finally! Who has shipped?

We got the robot in the crate and shrink wraped it at 11 PM last night. Crate shipping weight 340 LBS. Robot weight 116.5 LBS. In the past we have always had a weight problem, this year we we watched the weight on every part. We kept track of the robot weight on Autocad Inventor, very acurate. In Cad we were able to drill holes, mill out areas, and turn down parts. We could then see the weight reduction and figure out if it was worth it.

Re: Finally! Who has shipped?

11pm for Team 1468
Had the basic dead reckoning auto down and some variations.
Trouble with flaky interrupt pins on the RC is the only thing left to work on.

4 am for Team 358
Other than testing all the devices and test driving the basic drivetrain no time was left for testing our half dozen auto programs (it seems to work out that way every year). The fully completed robot was driven once - right into the crate!

The rookie team beat the pro team by 5 hours!

Now with the robots finally gone I feel empty inside - wait, I just realized I haven't eaten in 12 hours.

Re: Finally! Who has shipped?

Team #365's robot, GizMOE, was crated last night at 11:05PM. We received confirmation that FedEx had picked it up at 11:00AM this morning.

GizMOE and the Miracle Workerz are looking forward to UNcrating exactly one week from today at the New Jersey Regional.

Good luck and good competition to all!

Re: Finally! Who has shipped?

I spent three periods today at school getting the crate together, my teachers were not very happy, but they understood. The bot is supposed to be shipped between 2:30 and 4:30, it was kinda sad to put the last side of the crate on.

Who else has shipped their bots, and how much work needs to be done at the regionals?
The Ubergeeks have just shipped our robot. The parts are all completed but we will have to finish putting them on the base in St Louis. I find myself wondering what to do with myself now that it is gone. Excuse me while I go thru the mourning process.
