Re: Team 241's Turret Prototype ontop of the Harvester Prototype
The reason we sort of stood away from a turret design was because of accuracy, but it seems a lot of teams have overcame that challenge, and will probably be some of the better competition this season.
Kudos to those who can master the turrets! |

Yea the turrets all look good right now, wait till they get rammed a bit, slide around the field at high speeds and get a broken moon rock or two wedged in the turret. THEN we will see why dumpers prevail over turrets. Last edited by Sean Raia : 30-01-2009 at 13:21. |

Re: Team 241's Turret Prototype ontop of the Harvester Prototype
I'd like to introduce you to teams 33, 233, 217, 25, and I'm sure there are many more. Specifically, their 2006 robots. 217 had a turret, as did 25. They were the 2006 World Champion and World Finalist, respectively. The others finished lower down, say, division finalist to 217. Are there any questions? I'm sure they could easily handle damaged game objects, too.

Re: Team 241's Turret Prototype ontop of the Harvester Prototype
Our shooting mechanism is not quite finished yet, but it seems to me that the Orbit balls with 1 or 2 bands broken still provide enough resistance to compression to allow them to be expelled from these types of shooters. They certainly won't go where they are supposed to, but I don't think they will jam up as easily as you seem to think they will.

Excellent work team 241! Good luck to you during your competition. We have a similar concept (team 2594). Visit our posts: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...highlight=2594

It can be frustrating to watch a robot that "seems" like it completely built by mentors totally dominate your "dinky" student-built bot, but it makes the next build season that much more interesting. The important thing in FIRST, is what the students come out with, not the by-products of that goal. And I would love to work at that company also, Elgin! ![]() |

Do mentors/teachers consult and have influence ? Sure: 1) Nurturing parental and sponsor relationships 2) Teaching students technology and engineering: encourage: a) safety, safety, safety b) thinking about making it simpler, stronger, lighter and more reliable- c) finishing it sooner, rather than later: a finished imperfect but workable alpha solution in the can, makes working on a potential beta a lot less stressful. d) Use of math and physics e) looking it up in reference material (including Chief Delphi!) f) learning from failures as well as successes g) not leaving a mess! (For some reason, some teenage students sometimes don't think about these things) BTW, I'm a telecommunications engineer by profession and I've never been part of a robotics team before.
