Baxter Bomb Squad 2014 ~ Nighthawk

[JTN]

We are proud to present you with this year's Baxter Bomb Squad robot: Nighthawk! Inspired by the triumphant F-117 Nighthawk stealth bomber's breathtaking visual features, our team this year put an exceptional ball-launching robot to compete in this year's game. Please visit www.baxterbombsquad.com for more information about our team!

Send me a PM if you want a higher resolution image or images of our mechanisms (the mechanisms may take a bit of time depending on if I am at the Bomb Shelter [our shop] or not).

I wish I could see what the game would look like played with six of these.

Wow this is a game tailor-made for you guys to succeed-
Wide-open field for swerve and a game piece made for a catapult.
Incredible robot this year. I wouldn't be surprised to see you on Einstein once again.

I knew the second the game was revealed, it was literally built for your team. Turns out I was correct. I can't wait for queen city.

They are the result of 8 years of development and much frustration. The part shown is only half of the equation however, as the modules must be programmed.

Do you mind providing a picture/ explanation of the thrust bearing system?

The maximum speed with this gearing configuration should be about 14 fps right? Is that Nighthawks's speed?

Hello JTN. i am Tristan Shepard (aka Skippy), I am a student and am part of our pit crew with (kyEOT) or (Engineers of Tomorrow team 2783). we had talked to your pit crew and some of your mentors ate the Queen City Regional, we talked to you all about how you made your swerve. They said if we wanted the CAD we just had to contacted you all. we used the wild swerve from andymark but saw a lot that could be improved on it. I was wondering if our team could get the CAD for your swerve module that your team used. Thanks. Skippy
