1565 Promo

I loved the Paul quote at the end: "Twitch has some manergy baby!"

Good work guys, see you at Waterloo and GTR.

Pitting any robot (pushing it on the corner) will probably spin out 90% of the robots out there, including ourselves until the driver gets a hang of fixing it there really isn't anything special to fix it on our bot

only Waterloo this year unfortnatly... the extra border cost made it too much for us to compete in GTR

Nice video, love the tune! That was a really innovative drive system, I actually got to see it up close at the school just before the end of the season when Mr. Pope offered to donate a much needed Spike relay on the last day of the build, thanks again!

Depending on the game, I might actually choose this drive over a regular holonomic drive as you do get the full drive power in the desired direction as opposed to losing some energy on roller slippage.

You know what's even crazier? Use two cylinders in-line instead of one on the linkage. This way you could have the linkage engage half-way. With 4 wheels at 45 degree angles, you have a holonomic setup right there.

You'd get the best of all three worlds .

Wow, that's an awesome piece of work you guys got there! I got one question though, if all the modules turn at once(correct me if I'm wrong), then do you guys use tank drive for small precision turns? or are you able to control the modules to permit intermediate turning instead of a full 90 degrees?

[T3_1565]

we use tank drive for turning the bot, we had designed a lock for a pure holonomic (with the wheels at 45 degrees) but then choose to leave it out for last years game because we didn't think we would need it.

We may include it this time around if the game permits.

Thanks for the comments and I hope you guys choose to use it 2609. If you need help with it let me know I would be glad to share any info for you

[Gaurav27]

Awesome video! I really like how the linkage v2 "twitches" even faster =). Looking forward to seeing your robot this season. Good Luck T3!

[Barry Bonzack]

You just made me significantly more confident in my Waterloo Fantasy FIRST selection.


Do it again!

[James Tonthat]

I've been rewatching this for the last couple days, and I think I'm hooked!

Its looking like we are in the same boat(water game referance) as you guys, Unless we magically come up with some more money, GTR looks out of the question

I must give props to 1565, all around amazing team, they helped us out when we where running out of spare motors, and where amazing people though both Waterloo and the GTR. Unfortunately we didn't get to play a single match with you on our side. But there's always this year.

Hope to see you at Waterloo,

Creative design guys. I was just wondering what the configuration of the linkage system is and how you lock it in holonomic. Does it use chains or bars. a sketch would be nice. Thanks.
