TEAM 422 - DANTE Video Debut
Team 422, the Iron Dragons, would like to present our 2008 robot: Dante.
These videos are from late late monday night (about 1AM) right before crate when we finally got it all working. First, the drive. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=La3dPRnm7tk We have 2 CIMS in each toughbox on each side, with a 1 chain to the back wheel, which goes to the front wheel. We have powered "reggiewheels" (our own custom ultra traction wheels we like to make) in the front, and powered omnis from anymark in the back. We were hoping this would let us 'drift' around the turns, and it actually works. I'll see if our PR officer has some video form our more agressive driver to share later. Now for our scoring device... We have a giant 12' long thin spring steel band wrapped in a circle with holes punched in it for sprockets to reel it in. Powered by a globe, it gets really great grippage. The whole thing flips over the top of the elevater via a window motor. The forklift style elevater is powered by a van door motor and twists drums to spin 20' of steel cord to raise our two 80/20 towers. Dante's "Ring of Fire" (the steel band) being sinched in via a battery then raised: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWaV3MhbKzY *Note: At this time the motor mount was not contrained in one direction, and we wanted to make sure it worked so we *safely* volunteered the strongest guy there to hold the van door down while it raised the elevator. The Elevater raising with the van door: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOkdyf1wM1k As a final note, we realize all the stuff that is missing in these videos, and we see that the ring of fire doesnt fit in the starting position yet, but all that has been/will be fixed. We'll be at VCU and nats. What do you guys think? Last edited by burkey_turkey : 22-02-2008 at 23:16. |
