 No matter what route you choose, it's always a good idea to keep Mike Walker's cell phone on speed dial. - Joe Ross [more] |

Here's our bot everyone. It's our first year and we're pretty pumped for this competition. Our robot lifts the whole stack, and drives over a box, places down the stack, and repeats. Our stacks are very sturdy as they are surrounded by 3 telescoping poles, and a roof that holds it all in. We have room for 8 boxes. Let us know what you think!

GopeFor a first year team, this bot looks great!
I'ld be interested to hear some facts about it though. Maybe speed, torque, speed to bins at start, number of possible bins in stacks, 2 or 4 wheel drive, steering system?

COOPERcableWe've got a 4 to 1 gear ratio (4.5 feet per second I think is our max speed), it takes about 3 seconds to lift the box from the ground to 16 inches (we can do that while driving), I don't know much else... I just come up with ideas (functionality... lol)
Oh, we have room for 8 boxes in our bot.

GopeFor you guys to take a stab in the dark like that(as all rookie teams do because they havent yet expierenced the nature of the competition) you have done something amazing. I simply cannot express how impressed I am.

The Lucas
ur bot could very well be the best rookie stacker. u indentified a good strategy by building and internal stacker to protect the stack. A couple questions about the bot.
1) Are those omniwheels on the front?
2) Does that arm in the front right boxes?

JonbcaOur robot can drive about 5.36 feet per second, but once we start taking on boxes, it jumps down to about 4 feet, mostly due to stability reasons. We are a two wheel (drills) drive robot that is using a 4:1 ratio. We can lift 8 boxes, that being the limit due to the van door motor we are using. It's dimensions are 35.75"x29"x59". IT weighted in at about 123 pounds. The steering is a one stick drive system. We can get to the op of the ramp in about 4-6 seconds. The wheels at the front are omni wheels, and that front extension is there to flip the boxes to the proper orientation.

HailfireThat robot looks very similar to ours. Except that we have a few more added features and moves at least 2 times faster without falling over.
