Re: 2594 Robot Preview

The Naskcorpion is showing some serious progress with 8 days left.


Everyone has had to really pulled together at the 11th hour (literally) to shift the steering inward by 5/8", inorder to accomodate the bumper bracket.


Everyone is focussed on getting this done asap, as there are only 8 days left before it has to ship!





Good times! Team 2594 is doing an excellent job under pressure. 8 days left!

Re: 2594 Robot Preview


The wheels you see are what came in the kit of parts. What your probably wondering is if the white hubcaps with the NASKCO logo are legal.......we haven't seen anything in the rules about hubcaps being illegal. They are pretty cool eh?!

I can think of one or two ways they could be. 1) They contact the floor. Not an issue here. 2) They involve modifying the wheel in such a way that traction could be affected. It doesn't look like either is in play here. Then again, I'm not an inspector or member of the GDC.

Re: 2594 Robot Preview

I love looking at the images of robots that teams post as weeks go by. I'll admit, I usually use them to gauge 1339's progress as compared to other teams, and to look for potential issues. This thread, however, has absolutely floored me. Your robot looks amazing, and completely aside from any issues related to competition, rules compliance, or scheduling, I am in awe. What a fantastically realized design! More power to you and your outstanding team.

The NASKCO team (#2594 ~ Portland regional competition) greatly appreciates everyones encouraging words. They were working on the robot after midnight last night.

Re: 2594 Robot Preview

Excellent work guys! Just make sure that you have a good bumper system by the end, otherwise you're pretty much dead! Also, how do you know if you have a good center of balance for that thing??

Re: 2594 Robot Preview

Ok, with the issue of the wheels, as eric pointed out we are using the KOP wheels and not affecting them in any way, and the hubcap locks in inside of the wheel so nothing touches the ground. Our hubcaps are printed out on a 3D prototype machine so they are legal in every way shape or form, that is unless the judges think it is so cool that they throw us for unfair advantage. . Also, the main tube design is made out of a very light aluminum so that there is vry little weight. We are designing all of the electiracal parts to go on the bottom, so our center of gravity is theoretically very low. Unless for some reason we add a lead weight to the top that should be fine too. Thanks to all of the comments from all of the teams and mentors that we are getting, your guys' comments just keep motivating us to finish and do well. We are very excited to go to competition now and see all of the others.
One more question that I ahve been getting is about videos. I am currently trying to get some vids up there, but due to my lack of knowledge when it comes to that I am struggling a little bit. A note to everyone that would like to see a video. On monday I am giong to the district's tech teacher and he said he will help me get the vids up. SO... by noonish Mountain time hopefully I will have videos up for you guys.

Thanks alot for the great comments and feedback. Good Luck To all from NASKCO!!!

Re: 2594 Robot Preview

Ok, it is monday at about 3 in teh afternoon. We are testing the programming tonight and so hopefully I will get videos and pics uploaded by tonight at 9 so that you can see the balls shooting, and I can too. This of course is a goal and definetly not a guarantee. I promise nothing.

Re: 2594 Robot Preview

HERE IT IS!!! Robot as of now, (last touched at around 3:00 Sunday morning...)


Our beautiful wiring mess... Not that bad actually...


Sorry, it's sideways...


To all that where curious how we are doing our bumpers, and yes, as far as we can tell it is legal. (basically a fender on a car.


There have been many teams wondering about brushes, so here is our design, and it is tested and works well.


And how the balls are picked up, the opening is about 7.5-8 inches wide.

I meant for the pics to be blurry, so you guys can't see all of our secrets. JK, SORRY FOR SOME OF THE BLUR, NOT A PHOTOGRAPHER...Will have video a.s.a.p. I will try to get new video tonight of the testing that goes on adn edit it onto this post. Thanks for all of the awesome info and comments. Good luck to all.

[EDIT] 2/9/09 @ 9:00pm. Ok, no vids yet, testing was delayed to other problems, Will post asap.
