 Put on shows. Start new teams, FRC, FVC, or FLL. It doesn't matter. But I know that being on the robotics team has given me some of the best memories of my life, and I wouldn't want anybody else to miss out on that. - irishninja [more] |

all the framework is there.
The team will have plenty of time to code, practice driving, and perfect your mini-bot.

I like the pneumatics mounting that is looks really good.
How long do wires to the power distribution board have to be? It seems like an odd place for it because I don't see how you will mount your battery near it.

Scoring will be a arm that the students were finishing sat night. Pics to follow in a few days. The lower tier is dedicated for the mini bot deployment system. Also 90% Of wiring is already completed.

I'm curious, in the final design, will you be using only two CIMs for your drivetrain? Will the other two be used (needed?) for the arm? Looking at the picture (the angle makes it a little difficult to tell), it looks like only the front (I guess?) wheels are powered, are you leaving the omni wheels unpowered? If so, why?

That sounds great, then, and clears up the only confusion that I saw. Thanks!

its nice to be able to compare... Right now our teams seem to be in similar stages. Solid design. Is everything hand welded and cut?

Out of curiosity, have you done some tests with the window motors? They have a nasty tendency to lose torque quickly when they warm up, and their plastic worm gears tear apart quite readily. We used one to move our 36 inch arm last year and it broke several times.
