How Fast is your Robot?

Just curious as to what speeds teams plan on running this year. We'll be somewhere between 7.5 and 10 fps - depending on what drive sprocket we use. As of right now we've got it at 9 fps but havent really had a chance to test drive the robot yet.

Re: How Fast is your Robot?

Right now we are getting up to 15 fps in the distance of the arena, but in an open stretch, we can get up to around 23 fps. We are just using a 6 to 1 gear ratio straight off the 2.5" CIM Motors.

Re: How Fast is your Robot?

Our theoretical top speed is about 11fps but our actual speed is about 10 fps

Lol in our last week of drive practice I think I may have had it up to 10 fps like one or twice. At that speed the ball seems to fall right out during any turns and we run out of carpet way to fast.

Ours is right at 10fps and very easy to control.

Re: How Fast is your Robot?

We had ours set at 13.5'/s and it was still accelerating after traveling 3/4 length of the field. So we slowed it down to 10.5'/s. Anything more is overkill.

Re: How Fast is your Robot?

Originally 18 fps, but I decided that was a little ridiculous and geared it down to around 15. (freeload. it'll probably drive around 12-13.)

Re: How Fast is your Robot?

12.5 I believe was our number. It's surprisingly very fast and easy to control. A good medium I think.

Re: How Fast is your Robot?

way to make a wrong statement popo, its currently geared to 13fps free speed probably putting us around 11.5-12 actual. but from the bit i drove it it seems pretty controllable.

Re: How Fast is your Robot?

We're at 16FPS.
Yes it is controllable, very, and surprisingly.
Yes it does reach the speed in a pretty decent time, so it isn't such a waste.

But we did it because it was fun : )

Our actual top speed is near 20, but we'll never really reach that, unless we're on an empty straightaway. It's extremely light. Gotta love 6061 Aluminum.

Re: How Fast is your Robot?

A sincere questions for the speedsters.

Do you think that it will be possible for you to go full speed when there are 5 other robots on the field along with 4 balls? How often do you think you will be able to go that speed?

As a I side note, how fast can you make the turns?

I guess it comes down to one underlying question that we all will find out at the first competition. How fast can we all go and still maneuver in a safe fashion without ramming other robots? As we all know, light taps are okay

That will be quite crowded...but those extra two balls probably won't actually be on the field
