pic: 1083 - Evette

[RogerR]

I'd like to introduce Evette. <Beauty pagent announcer> She's a holonomic ball collector who likes short autonomous routines that knock off tee balls. When she's lonely, she likes to snuggle up with a mobile goal. She also enjoys uncapping short and tall goals. </announcer> She goes 11 fps and can hold 4-5 balls at a time, too!

<wolf-whistle> that evette sure is a looker!
how are you uncapping the goals? also, are you guys hanging as an earlier rendition showed?

[Ryan Albright]

George and everyone looks like another great robot i cant wait to see you in competition hopefully you will get paired with us

[Stephen Kowski]

[miketwalker]

You were right George, it's beautiful. I can't wait to see her put the moves on.

Nice! Is it very quick on picking the balls up off the ground?

[Joe Ross]

yeah it is, we modified the fisherprice motors by taking out the last gear in the system, so they run about 3 times faster than the regular fisherprice. Then there is a 3 inch roller on that.

One word......Wow!

[ArJubx]

How is your drivetrain? From the looks of it the entrance area for a ball is just wide enough to get it. Without a good drive system, you might run into issues actually getting the balls into ur corral.

[Dan Richardson]

well they have an omni holonic drive there.. so I imagine their drive is pretty good

Amazing bot.. and pretty to stair at.

Mayb your beauty will meet up with our beast later on this season.

We removed the hanging mechanism. Not because we were overweight, but because we felt we were overcomplicated. Plus, with all the hangers out there, we feel that it'll be pretty hectic up there already.

None of our pneumatics are plumbed yet. That includes the goal grabber, tee knocker, and 2x ball descorer.

Also, thanks to team 21 for hosting a video of our 'bot in action.

Congrats on building the robot I wanted to build, holonomic drive and all. I hope you do real well so I can say "I told you so" to the unbelievers on my team. I really hope you win your way to Atlanta, so I can see you in action.
