Re: pic: 1771 finished
That looks so nice, and works well to boot! Did you use the KOP compressor for that?

Re: pic: 1771 finished
Wow.
Can you place the ball at the end? It looks like you will be very successful this year. |

Re: pic: 1771 finished
Thanks for the compliments. We can place at the end actually fairly easily.
Unfortunately we already had our regional and we didn't come away victorious. There was a somewhat questionable play on us that eliminated us from the semifinals. In the elimination matches we averaged 5 hurdles per match. Unless there is some miracle we will not be attending any other regionals or the championships unfortunately. We did win an award for our design and it was the hit of the regional. |

Re: pic: 1771 finished
regardless i was impressed by how it works. I'm pretty sure their design was one of the finalist for the creativity award...

Re: pic: 1771 finished
Awesome robot guys! It was great to see it in action last weekend, and I really enjoyed seeing how far your team has come in the last 3 years. Congratulations on a good showing at Peachtree.

Re: pic: 1771 finished

Re: pic: 1771 finished
Thanks everyone. Yes we did win the Delphi driving technology award for our design. I am extremely impressed with the team this year and the strides we have made. This is my first year mentoring and I feel that there are going to be many more successful years out of this team.

Re: pic: 1771 finished
The vac is really sweet, did you use a single or two stage? and where did you get the impeller assembly? In the aim high game we built two assemblies, one that used two FP motors and one that used a Cim, we had to juggle the gearing to keep the current draw below what the breakers would hold for a match. As I recall it was about 50 amps. We got more vacume with the single cim, but it tended to take the breaker sooner. We got two stage impellers from a surplus place for not very much money. We also shot for about 25 to 30 K RPM at the impeller. Sorry you are done for the season.

Re: pic: 1771 finished
We used a shop vac assembly and modified it to work with 2 fisher price motors. It did drain the battery fairly quickly but we never had any problems tripping a breaker. At competition we were holding the ball with over 400lbs of force and we could acquire instantly as soon as our funnel touched the ball.

Re: pic: 1771 finished
Great, and thanks for the answer, good luck next time. If you want the surplus source I can look it up.

Re: pic: 1771 finished
Thanks cziggy. Im actually really bummed we don't get to go to atlanta. This is definitely the best robot I've ever been a part of. I really think we could have competed against the elite teams this year. I guess next year we're going to be even better though.

Re: pic: 1771 finished
Great News!!! We actually just found out we are going to the championship. Everyone look out for 1771. We also have a new device for removing the balls much quicker which was our one weakness.
