Uberbots 2008 Robot "Lightning"

Here is a video of our 2008 robot "lightning" doing his thing...

Video Here

Apparently he was a little sick when we took the video... only 3 hurdles...

Nice bot, and website! Thats probably a pretty accurate representation of a real match with 3 hurdles.

Re: Uberbots 2008 Robot "Lightning"

That's a cool idea for the gripper, looks very durable and fast. Nice machine!

it is actually... i guess the random veering into the walls represents possible defense.

The robot is a bit.. um... destroyed in this movie, it just came back from the scrimmage, and it is actually a modded 2007 robot, so it has a LOT of hours (and slack) in it. so... im not suprised they only got 3

they usually get 5-7

Re: Uberbots 2008 Robot "Lightning"

I saw you in the scrimmage; great job! I love the innovative arm. The one thing that I can see that's not perfect with your bot, is that you might have some contact outside the bumper zone with your arm. <G37>?
Good Luck...

Our drivers are careful about that; and most of the time we have the ball tucked away in our iron (fiberglass?) grip so we don't really have to worry.

That arm was inspired by many things... one of them is the little golf-ball retrievers, used to pick up golf balls from ponds and other unreachable places. one of the students came in one night and drilled 5 fiberglass reflector "lollypops" into a scooter wheel, and the idea became more pronounced from there.

Whats also cool is that the entire structure above the base of our bot is about 12 pounds, and we have a ton of ballast weight in the base, so our robot does not tip even in its raised position (you have to tip it 60* on the back wheels before it goes over, or 70* on the front wheels... tested empirically ).

On the robot we shipped, we added a fabric cover which prevents some of the entanglement we got with our arm at the scrimmage. Since it has such a big gripper, contact outside the bumper zone is a bigger threat, but we have our drivers practicing really hard to avoid that. (-:

Re: Uberbots 2008 Robot "Lightning"

IS the video supposed to be tiny? I'm squinting.

Otherwise, nice robot!

Thanks! I'm glad to see our team acting like a team, and our robot functioning... but a lot of other teams fulfill those criteria and more. I don't know about a third consecutive win, because I've seen a lot of other really great robots this season.

just for your website guys, the tables are screwed up on safari a bit, making the video look the size of postage stamp.
