That is clean good looking robot. Best of all, it works very well.
That is a robot that would be competitive at even the toughest U.S regionals/districts |

This is a really nice robot, I'm actually sad to have never seen it before.

I believe they have changed it quite a bit for the Israeli off season. Regardless the robot looks great

the reason we didn't released this video last year is because we didn't have the essential time to film and edit a good looking video,so we released it before the israeli off season. in the israeli off-season we have finished the qualifications seeded first. you are more than welcome to see our off-season event video summery: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ov2UmypEH_8 and also a full semi final match from the competition: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33e0h2nXV2U thanks for all the compliments guys (: __________________ Website: www.ortrobotics1690.com Facebook page: www.facebook.com/Orbit1690 Youtube channel: www.youtube.com/user/Orbit1690 Last edited by Eyal-Orbit1690 : 30-09-2013 at 08:30. |

Very impressive floor pickup. It is very similar to many of the most successful ball pickups from Rebound Rumble. It also loads very seamlessly into your hopper. Can you load directly from the feeder station or must you pick up off of the floor?

If possible, can you please tell us more about those tweaks, as the difference was huge!
I would really like to learn from what you learned and know how to better design this kind of mechanisms in the future... |

Re: ORBIT 1690 frc Ultimate Ascent 2013 robot
The 3 main changes we made in order to get the robot to function as well as it does were:
- Changing the motor that brings the whole pickup mechanism up and down, from a window motor (which wasn't strong enough) into a Cim connected to a WormBox. - Changing the way we were indexing frisbees, from pushing it from the outside to pulling it from underneath - by doing that, and replacing the magazine with an open structure that would just direct the frisbees into place, we managed to prevent jams. - Finally, we added an extention to the end of the rail that leads the frisbees to the open magazine and added another roller underneath it to provide a "final push" to get them into place correctly. We automated several processes and made some changes to the program as well, and that's about it... Needless to say we're proud of the result, and we'll make sure to get everything done in time for the israeli regional in the upcoming season. |
