How many fuel in robot

How many fuels are teams expecting their robot to be able to hold?
The VIKotics are working to hold 65-75 fuel.

We started with the idea of how many fuel to hold and are designing the robot to maximize the fuel held. We hope to control 10% of the fuel available.
We only need to reach our maximum fuel holding and shooting two times to reach 120 fuel for one ranking point. Still working on high goal scoring for 80%.

Re: How many fuel in robot

Ours can probably hold 60 or so. It held 48 easily, but that's all the fuel we have.

Personally I don't see much reason to hold more than 60 (unless you can somehow get to 100), considering that would be what you need to hold 10 preload and one hopper full.

I will guesstimate our capacity to be somewhere between 20 and 35 fuel. We expect to mainly be running gears.

Re: How many fuel in robot

We will be holding 20 fuel with a system to discharge it extremely quickly and accurately. We mainly are focusing on the gears, so we didn't go for broke on ball storage.

Re: How many fuel in robot

We will be around the 20 fuel mark with our main focus on gears and climbing.
