Those are amazing robots. Yet again Team 27 has an incredible arm. What motors/ gear ratios (after the Dewalt XRPs) are you using for the joints? Amazing organized electronics, and that autonomous program selector box on the front is sweet. Great job you guys!
By the way, the kid's playmat is a nice touch.

You know how the song goes:
I love...
...playing two hand touch.
...eating way too much.
...watching my team win...
... AND TWINS!
Another great robot from team 27. I'm almost happy you guys pulled out of Rochester, just so we don't have to compete with that beauty! err... beauties...
Every year I look at a RUSH robot and think "Wow... I would never have thought to do that like that." In my book, you guys are one of the epitomes of "elegant design". This is another impressive machine.
Good Luck,
John

Ah! You guys changed your grabbing device! We were basing our redesign idea off of your previous picture for a brief time. I guss it didn't work out, so it's a good thing we came up with another idea. ;p Great looking bots!

I'm going to go ahead and guess that the one on the left is the one that shipped...the wires on the arm look a little bit neater and its got that extra brace.

Re: pic: Team Rush - Choose your own adventure!
Thanks for all of the kind words.
This year we tried to make the assemblies easy to remove. We tried to make it as clean as possible. There will still be some cleaning up of a few things on the first Thursday at the competition. We will probably be putting on a few shields and such but all in all its pretty much done.
We put the robot on the left in the crate last night and will finish the one on the right tonight. We basically have been building both of them at the same time, with the practice robot always being ahead by a few days. We used what we learned on the practice robot and applied it onto the competition robot when that section came up. It was nice to be able to work on all of the assemblies separate and then put them all together.
Most of the robot was done in CAD or Inventor before we started. We all planned for the spaces we wanted and worked out the details.
Anthony will have to answer about the output gearing the numbers escape me right now.
I can't wait to see all of the robots in person. See you all soon

Ya, the one on the left is the one going into the crate...right about now! Anyway, we built them both at the same time. I am extremely proud of this team especially seeing what we accomplished with only 12 students on the team. Everyone put their heart and soul into it and it has paid off! Cant wait to see everyone at the competitions.

Re: pic: Team Rush - Choose your own adventure!
what material is that on the curving base of the arm? Is that going to be enough protection? Is there anything else protecting it?

Re: pic: Team Rush - Choose your own adventure!
I believe that you are talking about the aluminum tubing on the end of our arm? Anyway, it is like I said some 3/4? I forget the specific size, aluminum tubing. It is actually part of our grabbing method, the "hoop" stabilizes the tetra once we have it grabbed with our hook. It is surprisingly strong and take a hit, but we will be making spares in case it happens to get crushed or something 
If thats not what you were talking about, then the only other thing I could think you might mean is the turret at the base of the arm.

The plan is to put polycarb around the whole turret about 6" high. It will be attached in such a way that it will remain stationary and the turret will rotate inside of it. We plan on putting the numbers and lights on it. We will also be adding poly on the front and back to better protect those areas. We are somewhat under weight so we have some to play with.
