Team 250- The Dynamos
FLR champions
7-4-0 Qualification
L, W, W Quarterfinals
W, W Semifinals
W, L, W Finals
Picture: http://joelster.com/robots/v/2007_Ga...250-2.jpg.html

Drivetrain6 wheels with lowered center wheels
8 inch lawn mower wheels
2 speed AM servo shift
~4 ft/s low and 12.5 ft/s high

Arm
Can reach all 3 tiers
Two parallel arm design similar to 217/229 of two years ago http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/20526

Gripper
Pneumatic open/close
Had toruble holding tubes at FLR so gripper has been redesigned
Only 1 tube placed on rack during a match

Points of success
Can play good defense
Climbs ramps well
Powerful drivetrain
As of now gripper stinks but should improve with new design
Experienced driveteam and coach
Pretty bumpers

This post might make our robot sound not so great but I wanted to give you guys facts, not hopes and dreams. Not sure how we'll do on the grand stage but I guess we'll see. I would probably pick us in the second round of choosing partners as of right now. However, we may move up to a top pick once the new gripper is installed.

[AdamHeard]

Team 294.

Drive-train:
6 Wheel Drive (Skid ["Tank"] Steering)
2 2.5" [Small] CIM motors
2 3" [Big] CIM motors
2 Fischer Price motors
Single speed Custom (3 MOTOR!!!) Gearbox
6" Custom Aluminum w/ rough-top tread
~10 fps
2.5" ground clearance (bottom of bumper zone). Without bumpers it can drive over a 4x4. (see notched frame here)
Great for defense (Just ask 330, 696, 968....)


Arm: (pic1 pic2 pic3)
Legendary team 60 Arm.
Each Joint Driven by a small CIM with an AM planetary.
Can score on all 3 levels.
Can score 8 undefended. Hasn't happened in a match, that was on a practice field. 5 in a match has been done though (while wasting the last 20 seconds or so)

Gripper:
Grabs tubes from outside, strong grip and allows for a lot of missallignment

Autonomous:
Dead-reckoning/Prep for pickup

Strengths:
Drivetrain can climb any ramp out there.
Can Score Quickly.
Rarely Drops tubes.
Great Defense.
Can put our open grabber over a spoiled spider leg to keep it from being despoiled (sounds weird, but this may prove useful)

We are looking to be a versatile 3rd pick. We can round out any alliance, we can play great defense if that is what is needed, or can pitch in on offense/protetcting a main scorer.

Team 488 -- team xbot, Seattle, WA

Achievements --

• PNW Regional: 5th seed alliance captain, semi-finalist; Rockin' Ramp award from team 1510
• Silicon Valley Regional: 1st draft by 5th seed alliance, finalist; Engineering Inspiration Award

Autonomous Mode --

• Defensive runs to the other side of the rack

Drive --

• 6WD w/ 6" AM kitwheels in the middle and 6" AM omniwheels on the corners
• CIM per side w/ 17.5:1 gearing; anecdotally holds its own against most teams, but we play smarter defense than simply shoving people around.
• 6 ft/s top speed

Lifts --

• Two independently released and actuated lifting mechanisms (for good reason that we'll tell you about when we work with you)
• "Buzzer Lift"-capable -- requires approximately one second to release lifts before buzzer sounds
• Independent lifting action allows us to lift one robot or two with no effect on performance and to do so at different times. Lifts react against floor, not our robot and are supported along their entire ~4 ft. length.
• Will not tip (in play, at the end, with robots on it, without robots on it. If you manage a way to tip this robot over, I'll give you a dollar. If you do it on purpose, I won't give you the dollar, however.)
• Large lifting surface of 38x44" on each lift -- accepts wide- and narrow-bodied robots and flop-down robots. As long as your center of gravity is over the white of our lifts, we will lift you.
• Front-facing entry for last minute access -- there's no need for teams to enter the home zone, turn 90* and line themselves up with a narrow ramp as with most machines. Simply drive forward or backward onto our lifts.
• If you move, we will lift you. Seriously. I know Jeff wants honesty and this is it. If you can't move, come find me and I'll help you fix it.
• Hard stop at back of lifts that allow bumpers and frame to overrun our platforms while still stopping wheels.

Don't forget the picture Rich

[Madison]

Karthik/Rich -- I tried to merge your posts together so that the picture of your robot would be side by side with the information y'all provided, but it seems to have made the original post disappear. I apologize for that. I'm trying to find it again, but would you mind reposting that information?

Sorry for the mix up.

[Rich Ross]

Madison, here is the info along with a picture.



4ft/120lb weight class
