They are mainly used for defense while capping - this works by robots trying to ram us, instead they end up driving straight up them and loosing traction. They also aid us to prevent "Side tipping" Now the next question people ask is "Are they going to break from the amount of weight pressed down on them? The answer is most likely no The Wedges are made of 1/4 inch Lexan which is very reliable As some dont know 1/4 inch lexan is an 1/8 smaller than Bullet-Proof so yes they are very strong. The wedges are motor driven by two Window Motors (One per side) Thats the scoop on our Wedges Any other questions? |

Re: pic: 330
Ok. So I didnt go to nationals and I couldn't watch the webcast. Usually a national champion has something different about their robot. What was the thing that set your robot apart from the rest? (Miss America type question lol)

Re: pic: 330
On the stabilizing bar (at least I think that's what it's called) what is that wrapped around the PVC? It looks like hand towels.. does that have anything to do with the "Beachbot" theme? Or do they hold a different purpose.

We originally bought it in 2000 for our roller, and have used it in small quantities for other things since. |

Another specialty of our arm was that it was designed to be able to pick up 130lbs!!! This helped Stack over an arm attempting to block a goal Help correct being tipped (On front or back) and easily carry around a tetra Quote:
view my above post about them Feel free to ask anything else! |

Re: pic: 330
I see. Simplicity is good. Team 939 had a very simple bot. They beat us in St. Louis, but who knows what would have happened if we didnt get crushed by them... lol. I really like the bot. Simple seemed to work well this year. We had a stabilizing mechanism on our robot. Our body extended 14" length wise. Does anybody know of any other bots that did that? Wildstang had great wedges stabalizers, and they worked magnificently to push tetras under goals if they dropped them. Great job guys and congradulations on winning!

And yes, we used no pneumatics. Our wedges are power by window motors. As for the type of chain, I am not sure what it is...... ![]() |
