Robot in 3 Days Robot Reveals

I think they clearly took a more innovative path than the simple roller and catapult design. Add a simple goalie stick to their robot and they could do everything in this game.

Agreed. O-Ryon won this challenge. This "point guard" bot could rank very high by their ability to quickly possess the ball and drop it off for an assist. Getting a one point shot near game's end is defintely less risky than missing a high shot that rebounds toward mid field.

Very impressive.

While i voted ri3d 1.0 for what seemed like the most consistent robot there, I really liked BOOM. DONE.'s unique intake idea and their catapult system was quite different from the others'. Their meccanum drive train was also something that the others didn't do, and i'd love to see if it helps with their unique intake.

Can't you only have 6 CIM's on the robot? Why do some of the robots have 8 CIM's in their drive base?

They had 4 cims and 4 mini cims. You can have a total of 6 cims and 4 mini cims on the robot.

These crews built their robots with the intention of not sticking to the rule limitations. If you noticed, they used illegal electronics too.

What are you talking about? They specifically state in their videos that they use all completely FRC legal parts, and follow all the rules... What is the point of doing this if they break the rules?

If you are being sarcastic, well, don't. Text is a horrible medium for bad sarcasm.

BOOM DONE.'s goal was to build a robot that could pass inspection. The only violation I know of is the indicator light that the field uses to tell the status of the CRIO. Other than that, I think we could pass inspection.

Thanks for doing this again! I learned so much from these and I have shared it with both of the teams I work with.
The day 3 interviews made me laugh. RI3D 1.0 looks ready for RI2D.

Stop. This is an "if pigs had wings, they could fly" type statement.

Could the GDC reverse field and add an End Game? Yes, they would be within there "rights" as a GDC. Are they going to? NO! The GDC is not going to add an End Game. It is not going to happen.

Don't waste time and energy on things that are very very very very VERY unlike and also impossible to plan for anyway because there is always going to be SOME End Game that will make ANY design choice the wrong one.

Move on.

Sorry you don't agree with my opinion on this. But it has not changed and based on posts in previous threads that I had not read prior to today, I am not the only one. However if this type of thing helps even one team then you got what you were going for. Cad drawings and a BOM will be even more helpful for teams.

The engineering design process is a series of steps that engineering teams use to.
I hope your aim is to Encouragement

Thanks Dan.

Would it be possible to provide a version of the Ri3D1.0 video with subtitles? Or maybe just a version with the background music completely muted when people are speaking? Their voices are muffled and I cannot understand what they are saying. Thank you.
