 I'm a bit wary about playing on the new fields, however, because of the Carson/Carver/Hopper/Tesla Curse. I hear no alliance from those divisions has ever won championships. - [more] |

Hands Free Drive Station
Our team as a fun offseason project decided to make our drive station hands free. We took a snare drum harness and put some new steel braces on it. Then made a plexiglass shelf. Finally, we programmed in an xbox controller.
We have video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bX0ruRmwVXQ&feature=plcp

Re: Hands Free Drive Station
Very simple, but effective. Great job, and it all looks nice.
Now that i see this, our team kinda needs to build something similar. We have a small robot that is equiped with a catapult shooter for shooting candy (we use this during the memorial day parade every year.) we always have trouble holding it.

Re: Hands Free Drive Station
This is creative, effective, and just plain cool. Good job, Mechatronics!

1625 ran a drum harness in 2011 to let the driver wander as he pleased to see tubes and pegs better, he had a long tether back to the computer. That drum harness is quite handy to have.
