Re: What did your robot sacrifice for First Frenzy?

To be honest, this year our team did not give up that much functionally. Using custom gear boxes and wheels, pneumatics for our sub - assemblies, and we tried using the KISS principle as much as we could.
We did almost sacrifice goal grabbing, but were able to squeeze it on in the end. In the 2000 competition we were able to hang from the bar, and this we cannot.

Re: What did your robot sacrifice for First Frenzy?

At first, it was designed to be narrow (22 inches) to go up the stairs with a 3 inch ground clearance for the stars also. There were to be "outriggers" to prevent us from tipping and to heard small balls. We got wide. We can still go up the stairs but why? We can reach the bar from the carpet. So the ground clearance was for nothing...

Good luck ya'll!!

Re: What did your robot sacrifice for First Frenzy?

Ok, just to clarify things on what IronSlayTallica said. Team 870 did not build their drive train before the seasons got underway. Yes we did start to look at things and design it, but no actual building took place. I know a number of teams start planning a drive train and anything else they think they may need before the season starts, which is in the guidelines of FIRST. No building should be started before the game is announced, and with our team no bulding did occur. Everyone slips up on what they say every once and a while, and I assure all of you, from an experienced adult/mentor on the team, no building took place before the season started. I'm very sorry if this is an incovenience to anyone and if anyone looks down upon us from one team member, but I assure you that only a design was made before the season. Sorry for any incovenience this may have caused.
