New To Robotics

Check out my last post. I skimmed thru that and I didn't understand it at all.

Oh and a few other questions:

Everything is done thru wiring, but that wouldn't be considered "programming" it - or no?

If you do all the work yourself, would you still be called that?

Oh and on my prof I just put the name of my bot for the team. I woke up at like 3:30 one morning thinking of designs and it stuck with me.

Well... that's not quite what you're wanting to do. Basically, their taking the transmission (the gearing and such as that) off the Dewalt and fitting it to one of the motors that already come with the FRC robot kit.

I think you'll be taking the housing off the motor and transmission on the drill and using both to power your battlebot thing. You can see the pricing of the drill there in the whitepaper though as well as how to assemble the drill using other motors, how to fit it for a chain, and some other random things.

There are no kits or anything. We make everything from scratch. We're required to wire it and all we get are the parts, and we can buy them ourselves too. The bot has to be within 20 cm x 20 cm by 20 cm or 8" x 8" x 8" for the imperial users.

(2.54 cm = 1 inch)

Edit: And I added more to my post again before...

I didn't really know where to put this chris so I apologize.

Wow, small size. What is the purpose of the bot? Destroy everything?

This forum is meant to be about FIRST, not random battlebots. So while alot of the info will apply, certainly not all of it will.
