Re: pic: Blizzard VIII
The design is excellent ... something I have grown to expect from your robots year to year. just excellent. two questions, first is how wide the ramp parts that the team's wheels will ride on... can't quite make out how big of a gap that is in the middle. second question, how do you pick off the ground I am not quite seeing it, and am quite interested (or do you plan to only pick from the human loader).
Good Luck at your first regional and see you in Waterloo. |

Re: pic: Blizzard VIII
Taking bets on how long it takes for that camera to get killed?

Re: pic: Blizzard VIII
I think that arm has a one stage lift and a rotating arm. Hence when the lift is collapsed the arm reaches the floor.

Re: pic: Blizzard VIII
Nice design as always Steve! I had an exact sketch of this design at the kickoff on a piece of napkin. I bet there will be alot of similar designs. We'll be missing you guys down at FLR this year!
Since I am out on sabbatical the next couple of years I'll see what I can help out with at the competition. Been missing it... Ellery |

Re: pic: Blizzard VIII
The post is inside of our bumpers and very close to the ramps. If we are contact there we are being hit outside of our bumper zone. That is a chance that we are taking.

Re: pic: Blizzard VIII
Very nice looking robot - I especially like the color scheme.
Couple of questions: Does the camera track while you're moving? I'd worry that it would wiggle too much on the end of the support to maintain lock on the light. Is there a stop for robots once they get onto the horizontal platform? (I can't see one in the picture). If not, are you concerned about the robots driving over the edge? Anyhow, see you in LA. in 2 weeks! |

Re: pic: Blizzard VIII
Looks like a solid design this year. I like the simplicity of the bot, hopefully we will get a chance to climb those ramps a few times this year.
