*Cry*

That's exactly how I wanted to build this year's robot, right from day one. And all I got from people on my team was blank stares when I said telescoping arm. (Admittedly I couldn't find any pictures of a 2005 bot with this general design [team 68 maybe?]. And they were set on the ramp that we never made.

It's ridiculously easy to operate, isn't it?

Congratz!

Did you take a look at any pictures of that PINK Team (233)? Pictures from 2004 and 2005 are applicable.

Re: pic: 1029 presents Gator Chomp

it reaches well over 96 inches and yes its pretty smooth but the tilt has so much torque and speed that we had to damp it by 4

And just in case you want to see the video copy and paste this link

Re: pic: 1029 presents Gator Chomp

I edited that first post twice, since the first time i lost my changes. But I left out the word "certain" (a certain team) the second time.

The team was at the Western Michigan regional and quite possibly won it. That's all I remember And it was a 60s team.

Re: pic: 1029 presents Gator Chomp

I designed it hoping to achieve something similar to pink's '04 and '05 bot. I think I got it pretty close. all we need now is some practice driving it and there wont be much in the way of stopping us.

some quick specs:

drivetrain:
4x6 wheel drive
4 CIMs
2 speed (5 fps / 11 fps) mechanical shift

arm (telescoping):
full extension of ~90 inches in about 1.5 seconds

tube manipulator:
fully mechanical, spring closed

Indeed, my first year in FIRST I saw the one which hung itself ('04), displaying tremendous about of power and confidence in the telescoping arm; that 'bot is probably the single most factor why I got sucked into FIRST. Then the following year with 2k5, wow that was amazing, the most amazing piece of art and robot I have ever seen. It's the pink team, probably unknowingly, that caused me to dream big, hopefully I'll get to live it this year.
