[OCCRA]: Teaser

[troy_573]

Well its 3 days till game time and I personally think this is one of the best robots my team has ever built

I hate teasers that you cant tell what the robot does, I love teasers that make you want to see the robot in action, sooo heres my teams teaser pic , tell us what you think and I hope you guys are really excited about Saturday

[Lisa Perez]

Troy, that's why they're called 'teasers', we're supposed to guess what the robot does, gosh

Looks nice, though. You guys have really come a long way.

[troy_573]

Wow didn't even think that was possible. Intentionally adding weight...we wish. Oh well back to drilling lots of holes in the robot.

Yep its possible, last year we were about 90-95lbs and this year our guess is were around the same if not less. I was supprised the diamond plate didnt make us very heavy.

I'm as surprised as you are, I think we can fairly blame most of our weight on our tires, or at least a good amount of our excess weight.

[troy_573]

How much do your tires weigh, our are 1lbs each ... i hope the hold up in compition

[greencactus3]

so while we have the topic out, whats the fastest way to chop weight off an occra robot?

judging by the looks or your tires..keep your fingers crossed. Lets put it this way, a single tire is by far the heaviest part of our robot.

[troy_573]

yea the wheels weight capacity is 55lbs each or somthing like that ... the best way to get ride of weight is to well, i really dont know, we have never had a weight issue, we have been over weight maybe once and that one time we had unneecary components we just took off

[JamesBrown]

Well I dont know alot about OCCRA but that robot looks robust, there seems to be plenty of structural support. Only question I have is how much slack is there in your drive chain? It looks like alot, however that may serve a purpose or it may be a bad picture.

Yea that picture was taken with our tenssions out, they were being worked on at the time ...
