I was pretty sure that 852 had six wheel drive and 753 went with their killer tank drive...? Anyway, I'll add what I know:

100 - Fast tube placer, stylish too!

I may have heard wrong or am thinking of the same robot, but our smaller sponser who build our drive train also sponsors them, I believe, but could be wrong

Sumadin from FRC 8 collected some good data on tube scoring at SVR.

From what I have seen the best tube scoring robots will be:
100, 114, 701 (Bayou Finalist), 1726 (Arizona Finalist), 852, 766, 1359

The best ramps will be:
1323, 997 (PNW Champs), 668 (I think they're coming), and 1280 (SVR Champs)

Of course many teams will have made improvements - and there are plenty of teams we don't know about.

They think so too, I'm not sure how much more their ego can take.

Hey!! First year driver, First year arm operator, First year Human Player(s), First year Coach, First Year Scouts, for 13 of 19 of the students who went to the Bayou it was their first competition. Trust me, their ego is in check. Anyways they did a terrific job at Bayou and a "non-call" away from a possible blue banner - I'm impressed.

This year's game cannot be dominated by any one bot. Every team has to know their strengths and everyone else's too. We had enough foresight to have kept to a reliable and proven arm design (prop's to Alekat, Travis, Salik, and that '05 crew) and even simpler yet durable drive system. Switching from 2 so-so ramps to 1 "easy to use" ramp should also give us more options.

There are some great teams coming to Davis - we just can't wait. Keep an eye for some local rookies as well, Team 2085 from Vaca High School, Team 2189 from Woodland/Pioneer High School, Team 2156 from Hiram Johnson High School in Sacramento, and Team 2073 from Pleasant Grove High School in Elk Grove. Also are some new teams from San Leandro, Carmel and Turlock. Let's be sure to show them what GP is all about and make it a memorable event for them and all of us.

[115inventorsam]

115 is a 6 wheel drive, with a foldback arm

We were not a great ringer at SVR, but we expect to have the problems fixed by the Davis Regional. Expect us to boost up the average from SVR. Once everything works fine, we can probably average at least double of what we got at SVR.

Best case scenario, we'll be able to at least challenge the best ringers from SVR.

114: we should have all the itsy bitsy kinks worked out, as well as a very experienced drive team, who already have 2 regionals with finals under their belts. Expect to see us getting the dual camera Auton mode scoring reliably by saturday, as well as our driver using that nifty 2 speed function a lot more. Also, I may be adding a pneumatic brake to the drivetrain... We'll see how that idea floats with the team though.

[allen_d]

well.... we will be there... the question remains... will our robot? i packed a monkey in the crate. i hope he hasn't run out of bananas and is hard at work building us a robot.

I might be in need of some programming assistance when we arrive too... i have some of the basics... though would like to have someone that i could lean on in case my luck fails me. please drop me a line if you are willing... i'll spill the details!... (pretty basic stuff... mapping controls and such.)

oh.... and for our robot... would make a great paperweight.... and it might hang a tube

thanks and good luck all.

Adding what I know...

100 - Fast tube placer, stylish too!

481
670
675
692 - Tube scorer - played at SVR in QF's with 1070 and 254

1031
1072 - went 4-3-1, Rank 21 at LA
1147 - We saw them at the St. Francis Scrimmage - good defender - no arm - they're working on a lifter system - but hadn't finished it at that time.
1280 - has a ring placer and 2 robot lifter

1960
2035
2063
2073
2085 - Their bot design is for primarily scoring tubes, haven't seen it work though. They had a secondary ramp design, I'm not sure they kept it though.
2156 - Design is for placing tubes but I haven't seen it work though.

So far only 3 for sure ramp bots?? Come-on... Someone fill us in on the rest of these bots!!

[pakratt1991]

after making my joke in the original thread i realized some people might not know, Our robot (997) is a reliable 2 robot lifter, on average at PNW we lifter 1 to 12 inches and 1 > 4,.
both our lifters go to 12 inches

[razor95kds]

766 is a hybrid tube placer/ D bot. At SVR for the elimination matches, we played offense for the first minute scoring usually 2 ringers but can up to three depending on the oppsing d bot. then we played defense for the last 3o -45 seconds on their best scorer making sure they dont cmplete a long row or prevent them from deploying if they are a ramp bot. then we hurry back and get on our partners ramp.

the breakdown on our bot:
6 -wheel two speed drivetrain, very powerful (only 753 with their treads should be able to push around)

arm with a wrist, uses pneumatic claw to grab tube, quick scorer if undefended, merely average scorer when defended (we usually raise our arm and pin the d bot on the rack and score over them)

2.25 of ground clearance: we can climb any ramp. I mean any.

SVR finalist and the ones who knocked out the Cheesy Poofs in the Quarterfinals + we beat the two best tube scorers at SVR in two straight matches in the semis (100 and 114).

any more questions feel free to post or PM me

man i wish we were going looks like some good bots will be there. the best scoring robot will be 100. 114 is very good too... watch out for them. one of those plus another scoring robot to distract defense will be a hard alliance to beat. gl to all teams. i hope to see many of you at nationals
