Re: Your Best Robot

I don't think I can say that I have a specific robot of ours I like best of all. Rather, theres specific components that I thought were really nifty out of three of ours.

2005: Our 2005 robot had a nice mecanum drive with a 'powerslide' function, which our driver (who sadly graduated last year ) used to his advantage to slide around curves and play games with inertia... enough to get him a 'drive it like you stole it' award from another team at the boilermaker that year.

2006: Our 2006 robot had a really sweet shooter and an autoshoot so stable our operator never touched the manual button, plus it shot up to two balls per second and hit about 80% of the time, even when being pushed around. Unfortunately, our plastic drive sporckets for the brecoflex track were a little too thin walled, and broke every so often.

2007: Our 2007 robot had a great elevator, capable from going from floor to 3rd row scoreing in just 1 second. The elevator had a total of 1.5hp behind it, a nice delrin and ball bearing slide system with a triple extension timing belt drive. The gripper also had the capability of rotating the tube within it.

any comments?
