Team Overdrive's 2009 robot, ready and waiting to play some Lunacy!
The only thing that needs changing is our belt because of a new GDC ruling.
We can't wait to complete in NJ and NYC!

Woot 2753!
I hope that our efforts during the pre-season helped you guys out. I know it wasn't much but hope it helped your members develop the skills they needed for build. Here's to a great year, Tyler!

This ruling outlawed the belt because of the points on it.

Allow me to be the first to say that their handling is amazing. The robot was well controlled all the time. It was a lot of fun practicing with you guys, despite our technical difficulties...

Great bot, loving the simplicity in the design and it seems to be very effective. Do i see a rookie regional win this year?

This looks great! The top container is a pretty unique design; haven't seen something like that yet.
I look forward to seeing it in action at Javits! =]
One question, what's the shooting range?

Did you guys ever have problems with the hopper having a flat bottom, instead of having a sloped bottom to the front where the roller is?

Re: pic: FRC 2753, Team Overdrive 2009 Robot
well the base of the hopper comes up to a slant with the use of what i believe is a window motor. you may have seen this on 103's modification to a power dumper which was a concept they took from 2753.

I was the field supervisor for the Archimedes Division. The only problem I had with your robot is that every time that you competed I had to have two field reset people swifter the playing field to remove the worn conveyor belt material. Congratulations to your team on a wonderful championship. I expect to see great things from your team in the coming years. See you next year at the championship.

We replaced the belt on Thursday with a new one and for some reason the new one shredder like paper. The older ones held up much better, so I am not sure what happened.
Anyway, sorry about that!

If I remember correctly - Tyler - we changed suppliers of the "shelf-liner" material: Contact versus Kittrich. Also, we used Gel Contact Cement originally -- made by DAP. Our new belt used 4 minute spray contact cement from 3M. The sheddling of the belt did not happen in either NJ or NYC.
Lesson learned: do not change suppliers without adequate testing.
