Pics And Vids! 816 1-31-09!!!!!!!

Finally, After all of the promises I've come to deliver! Our robot is about about 95% done so all we need to do its decorate and program! Some of the features in the final robot aren't shown in the videos due to some programming issues that we're currently having. I did the math today and we should be able to hold between 21 and 24 balls.

In the videos here, I'm Driving and DannyMcC is operating.

Pictures First:

Anomaly V 8.0 With 7 Balls Loaded



Anomaly V 8.0 Empty



Anomaly V 8.0's Control Board



Here's the Videos:

Re: Pics And Vids! 816 1-31-09!!!!!!!

im curios, how many days a week does your team meet and for how long?
Because you seem to be done with your robot with 2 weeks to spare and thats pretty amazing.
Anyway,
now you have 2 weeks to test it so congratz.

EDIT: looks tall! how tall is it aprox? And those balls are not getting much distance. You better have an effective traction control system so you can drive right up to the trailers and wait for the balls to get slowly dropped in. unless you have a different strategy.

Thanks!! We meet Monday-Thursday from 3-7/8, Friday from 3-5:30 and Saturday from 9-3. That being said we spent the first week building the field and designing the robot and it took about 3 weeks of solid build to get it to this point. Sometimes a little extra design and fore-thought goes a long way.

As far as the height: last time I measured it was 54" tall give or take a bit. Our range is off in that video because our top roller wasn't spinning right but the range isn't far it's about 1 foot at most. As far as traction control we don't have any in programming... It's all in my left and right hands.

Wow... we spent 3 weeks doing nothing but CAD-work, prototyping, and other types of design. We just started building this week! The upside to that is, though, that we know exactly what our robot will look like and what parts we need to make/order in order to finish it. Maybe it would have been a good idea to start building sooner - we have almost no time to test our finished robot.

Thanks! The ball pickup is so awesome, it makes picking them up incredibly easy.

As far as driving I find it very easy. With the trailer certain moves become harder to do but it's really all about your driving style. Personally I like to slide around so it's fine with me.

have you tested driving with the trailer and trying to score? b/c getting to a goal pulling a trailer is a lot different maneuvering...

Yeah. I spent a while today pulling a trailer and picking up balls. It's not as hard I thought it would be. It is a lot different though but not as hard as people make it seem. Sorry I don't have video with the trailer. The person videoing had to leave.

Operating the robot with only two functional buttons is really fun. Imagine the exponential growth of fun with six buttons.

For their design its actually easier while driving with the trailer (eye saws its). The maneuverability is great because some turning is improved with it.

Haha it's cool. IMO it's actually easier to drive with a trailer than without.

haha yeah... Like Danny eluded to, We only had a third of our operator functions working for that test. We're having some weird control problem with Labview that we need to debug...

Do you guys have a way of blocking the ball exit while picking up balls? I remember back in 06, teams would have 2-3 balls in their system and would have to shoot those out before collecting more (really bad when the max capacity was like 20).

Re: Pics And Vids! 816 1-31-09!!!!!!!

Hey guys, your robot looks great, I'm just wondering

I noticed that the entire front is used for ball collection, meaning you wont be able to put any bumpers on it. Will you have enough room for a 2/3 bumper perimeter.

I only mention this because our team was concerned about it and we have 12 inches of bumper on the front.

Great work though, are you planning on being able to stop your collection system and wait to release the balls or will it be constant?
