Re: 2594 Robot Preview

Very nice! What kind of motors will be driving those blue brushes? I'd like to hear more about the delivery system. Its a well professional looking robot, and I like the drive train as well.

Re: 2594 Robot Preview

The blue brushes will be driven by the DENSO (window motors). As for the delivery system we don't have any finalized choice, but we have a few working ideas.

Re: 2594 Robot Preview

Does each pair of brushes spin independently? Or some as pairs? Or all together? Looks great!!!

Re: 2594 Robot Preview

The top three brushes and the bottom three brushes work as groups each run by its own DENSO. The top three will be trigger operated.

Re: 2594 Robot Preview

Yah, the brush system was one of the easier parts to design/build. The drivetrain was a monster... Just so you know, Van Tassel didn't mention it is 4-wheel drive, AND 4-wheel steering... Here is a pic that is a little closer in so that you can see, as you can tell it isn't fully assembled at this point, it was a few weeks ago. We are using that mount right there to pivot the two tierods that attach to the custom wheel brackets.

Re: 2594 Robot Preview

Beautiful design, I love both the drivetrain and the manipulator system!

One thing, I hate asking this question, but how are you mounting bumpers?

Re: 2594 Robot Preview

Although it looks very difficult with the drivetrain we actually have bumper brackets planned that should work, but not physically there yet...

I can't wait to see a video or two of this bot moving and shooting. Coming from a second year team, I am highly impressed.

Re: 2594 Robot Preview

I actually have multiple videos that i have taken off of cameras and cell phones. They are just of the robot driving though. The thing is that I don't know how to get them onto the site, or youtube. I need some help with that, if someone can help me convert formats or something like that I can get them up. Especially if you know how to get videos off of phones...

Re: 2594 Robot Preview

The driving works amazing and the brush system is currently being tuned. Even with the slick wheels we have almost perfect control with sliding, and we were even playing around sliding it with out feet and purposely doing drift and we EASILY got out of them when we wanted to. I really am wanting to get a vid up now...

Random question:
Are you gonna have really long brackets extending for the bumper mounts?
