I proudly present Team 1086's 2009 robot Blue Muenster!
this robot is fully equipt with...
-a 3 way catapult system capable of firing from around 8ft all the way down to 1 ft
- a floor intake mechanism capable of holding around 8-10 balls powered by 2 window and 2 CIM motors
- a "puke" mode where we can drop our full load of balls at point blank range in a matter of seconds
we worked with team 384 Sparky again this year and ended up with three awesome robots ready to compete at the NASA/VCU Regional and Championships!!!

wilsonmw04Another imaginative and innovative design from 1086! We had the opportunity to play with 1086 @ Sonic Tools. I have to say it is a wicked design. We look forward to seeing ya'll at VCU.

Mr. Ivey
Why did you guys only use 2 air tanks instead of 384 with four?
18-02-2009 20:53
1086VEXwell...we saw it necessary that we put a second CIM on our conveyor system which set us back 3 pounds. so we spend all monday cheesing everything that wasn't cheesed and the clipards were something that got taken off... but we got enough weight back to put a 3rd on. 384 stuck with the original design of 1 cim

Mr. Ivey
What advantage does the extra CIM give you guys over the 384 setup?
18-02-2009 21:42
1086VEXwell on our prototype with the single cim the belt would stall rather ofter. the extra cim made it nearly impossible to stall, and it gave a little extra boost to our puking mode

VanManI love that name for the mode. Is is basically just a fast dump or does it dump them on the floor?

MikeMascaroPardon me if I'm wrong but aren't window motors illegal this year since they weren't in the kit of parts?
