Team 706's 2010 Robot Demonstration Video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_dnzebFqDk

We're almost wrapping up our robot, just adding a few final touches. So far the feature list includes:

live camera feed for aiming/ball grabbing (no lag)

Pneumatic kicker with a surgical tube assist, can be raised up or down for long/short range shots

4 CIM 8 wheel drive

2 fischer price motors powering a vacuum to hold balls in possession

When in the long range position, the average distance before the ball hits the ground is about 35 feet. Although we can, we do not necessarily plan on scoring long range, the long range kicker can shoot over both bumps to move balls from a defensive zone to an offensive zone. once the ball is on the other side of the field, the kicker can be raised into the scoring position.

Re: Team 706's 2010 Robot Demonstration Video

Impressive! I like how you managed to cram so many neat mechanisms into such a small volume, it's a very clean looking design. Your method of adjusting range is clever, too. Looks like you guys are pretty much done, you've got plenty of time to get lots of driver practice in.

Re: Team 706's 2010 Robot Demonstration Video

I'm impressed. It seems like for the second straight year, you have built a very technically advanced robot. I think should have some more success with this one, though.

The two aspect thats stand out is your ability to control a ball while turning/backing up and the ability to change the height/distance on the kicks (personally, I think a lack of this will hurt a lot of teams)

Nice work. Look foward to seeing it at Wisconsin.

Re: Team 706's 2010 Robot Demonstration Video

i agree, last year the robot was great but we didnt have any time to test it and ran into some kinks at the competition. now that we've got a little bit better hold on our schedule i think we'll do pretty well.

My thoughts exactly. You know when a team manages to build something as capable as team 233 that they're destined to build an awesome robot. (For those who are unaware, 706's robot was almost exactly like The Pink Team's last year, except it had an adjustable pitch turret and a swerve drive!) You guys really hit the mark this year, with a robot that can do one thing very well. With plenty of driver practice, you could easily win an event this year.

Re: Team 706's 2010 Robot Demonstration Video

Great job! easily my favorite robot so far. I love the vacuum dump valve and the adjustable height kicker.

Re: Team 706's 2010 Robot Demonstration Video

Looks like you guys did a great job. The robot is excellent at kicking, and doesn't really have to worry about getting over the bumps, because it can glide right under. It also looks like a really clean design.

Very nice.

That is a very impressive machine. Kudos to your design team.

Good luck at your competitions!

I especially like how the video is 2:33 long

Re: Team 706's 2010 Robot Demonstration Video

We are at Kennedy Space center and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. Most live in either the Cocoa Beach or Rockledge area. But you never know, maybe we'll see you in Atlanta.

And even from what I can see, our robots may have some things in common. They are both 28 inches by 38 inches I presume, hehe

Re: Team 706's 2010 Robot Demonstration Video

Just an update, we also added a ball magnet to the front which feeds balls into the vacuum so we can contact them with the whole front of our robot and not worry about the vacuum grabbing them. We will probably add a final video this weekend.
