Team 610's 2013 Robot CAD Models Available

[jamierose]

Hi! A CAD model of 2013 Championship winning Team 610's robot, Taz, has been uploaded to FRC Designs. You can download a compressed STEP file of our assembly here (mouse over "Robot Designs" on the navigation bar, click 2013, and scroll down to 610):
http://www.frcdesigns.com/

Our design notebook, including a journal of our build season, some specs on our subsystems, and some information about our win at BAE Granite State Regional was uploaded as well!


A small note about the CAD Model:
Before the Championship, we flipped our shooter so that the discs would leave our robot from the left side instead of the right side. This change was not made on the CAD model, would. In reality, the discs would come out of the side of the robot that currently has the two mini CIM motors in the CAD model, while the motors and the shooter wheel would be on the side that currently has the disc track on the CAD model. This also applies to our flip-out feeder station tray, which was designed on our CAD model to work with our real robot, and not our CAD model robot.
Overall, this means that although our feeder station tray appears to be outside of the frame perimeter in the CAD model, it was actually within the frame perimeter in real life.


If you have any questions about anything at all, feel free to ask!

That's odd. It works for me in both Chrome and IE10.

Looks like you are using Google docs. Could it be that it works for you because you are logged in with the uploading account?

I misunderstood. I thought you were talking about the main page, not the link to the CAD model. The link to the CAD model does not work for me either. I will contact the owner of the website and see if he can fix it.

For now, use this link:

Here's a link to the design notebook:

So I was wondering what the shifting equipment is used for as I can't seem to find what the 48t PTO gear drives. Please excuse me if this question is silly but I can't seem to figure it out.

This is right.

We never used it because we weren't able to get it to work. We considered making one between our first two regionals, but we then realized that if we couldn't make a 30-point climber during the 6 and a bit weeks of build season, there's no way we'd be able to make one in a few weeks between regionals. We decided to make an intake for a 5-disc autonomous mode instead. It didn't work too well, but it was still a pretty cool project.
