We did add ramps during day 2 of the PNW regional. They worked quite well and we will be making them even better for the Davis regional and championship event!

Re: Team 997 Lifter

997, your robot rocked. I remember seeing you guys at the scrimmage a couple weeks before the regional and our entire team agreed that you'd be going into the finals, if not winning. *and you won*

We'll be seeing you at the Davis Sacramento Regional. Hopefully we'll have match or two with you this time. Good luck!

one the support pieces for the feet stick out completely to the other platform where we have a pneumatic cylinder that shoots through a whole in the rod, and they are pulled apart by a budgie cord, when we retract the pneumatics, the bungee pulls them apart.
and yeah they just fall, but we looked at all of our parts and they don't hit to hard, they are just like big flaps so the air resistance helps out, also nothing is welded together so we don't have to worry about any of it cracking

Re: Team 997 Lifter

It was great being with you guys at Davis, the only question I had after seeing it was how does it continue going up after the power is off?

Once the air flow to the cylinder is opened, after power is cut, the cylinder will continue to be filled until the system is out of stored air.

This will happen as long as the solenoid is triggered before power is cut off.

It's probably* because the valves do not close when power is removed. As a result, the air in the tanks keeps flowing into the pistons, even when power is cut.

*Speculation, but it fits the scenario.

Re: Team 997 Lifter

Congrats on the double wins!! Thats awesome!! We were super fortunate to come out with a win in Vegas (and Rookie All Star) to go with the Imagery from Portland, so we'll be seeing you in Atlanta!

BTW your mascot really rocked
About the overages... we do pay overages, but it's mainly because we had a ton of extra materials shoved in there and everything... but as Dave said, it's definitely worth it. It's a lot less stressful if you're at least a little organized. We're fortunate to have an awesome coach who's had a little experience and came up with the whole crate idea.

Good luck in Atlanta, we can't wait to be there! The mascot will be there too, we'll make sure to send it your way sometime!
