One of the Minbot inspectors at LA asked me how much a switch had to weight before it stopped being a "light" switch and started being a "heavy" switch. - ChrisH [more]
For the fall of 2016, Cyber Blue completed a design / make project for a cantilevered axle / wheel configuration (similar to designs referred to as “West Coast”). This paper describes the process, results, photos and a basic BOM.
This is a worksheet my lead mentor made for kickoff, in order to help guide newer members through the process in the first few hours. He said he'd like it posted on here for other teams to use in the future (it's not season specific). Feel free to add to or adapt it for your use.
This paper describes The GreenHorns' strategy, prototypes, and details the specs on the final robot. Check the paper if you have any questions about the robot!
The three white papers released by Robot in 3 Days 'Snow Problem as part of our build. This includes: A strategy description, an description of our prototypes, and a description of our final robot.
Cyber Blue, FRC 234, completed a mini design experiment during the summer and fall of 2016 to use some new lightweight components in the pneumatic system. All parts used are off-the-shelf components and meet the requirements of FRC. The part changes resulted in a savings on slightly less than 1 pound.
This is a presentation of 9 distinct statistical prediction models of FRC matches from 2008-2016. The purpose is to determine which metrics have the most predictive value and where future efforts on predictive models should be focused.
Basic 6 wheel drop center chassis using configurations and equations. Can select 1 of two wheel sizes, 1 of 3 gearboxes and whether or not front and/or back is open for object intake.
