rear cylinder : 2inch around with a 24 inch stroke. MASSIVE
lower cylinder : 1.5 around 11 inch stroke.

only motors on this are the 2 drive motors

It looks good! Being at that stage at this time will give you a good week of testing, and that is really valuable. I heard someone mention carpet... make sure you get a chance to try driving it on carpet. It shouldn't be a problem if those are casters I see (and hear!) up front, but it is always good to remember that carpet makes a big difference.

You also may want to consider having just a slight "hook" on the end of the bottom arms of your forklift. Your video doesn't show how well the robot holds the ball under agressive driving, but I'm sure that is something you are going to test over the next week or so.

Keep up the good work!

Helloooooo from the NE
Looks great nice set up with the drive we at TJ2 used that one year and it worked super. Get in a lot of rug drive time with the ball. BTW How fast is the the bot, hope to see you soooooon. GOOD LUCK from TEAM 88 TJ2 and MOE

That is sweet dude! I love the way everything is able to move so smoothly. Just one concern though, are you inside the 80" diameter rule that is what killed us.

[swalker92]

im pretty sure that we are withint that 80" rule. i havent checked lately, thanks for the reminder.

[swalker92]

also, in driving this it holds the ball farely well around corners, hopefully ill get some video up monday. we are just working on keeping the forks from flipping back and getting them out of starting position
