 I know I exaggerated a bit, but NASA put a man on the moon with less processing than some FRC bots. Think about that for a minute. - JesseK [more] |

This is team 1305's second revision robot. We built out first robot and were driving, shooting and crossing defences at the 3 week mark. Then from the things we learner we modified our designs slightly. Now we have a robot that can disable the low bar, b, d, and a groups of defences as well as high/low goal shoot. We also plan to climb but have not added the mechanism yet.

Out of curiosity, why did your team choose colsons over pneumatic wheels (from this angle, it looks like you're using colsons, although a mixture of both could be possible)

Do my eyes deceive me or is this a 14 wheel drive system? Based on the size of the wheels and the number of axles and bearings it would appear to be. 
Have any issues getting that arm to clear the bumpers? Looks like a pretty tight fit if I'm understanding how it works correctly? Also, what are you at for weight? Looks like you're using some pretty thick aluminum.

Re: pic: Team 1305's second robot.
You guys aren't wrong. It is 14 powered wheel drive using 4" wheels. We choose this design to try and disable the defences as well AS a track without having the extra difficuly and breakability. And our choice has been very good.
The intake arm clears the bumpers by ~ 1/4". It is very close. There is very little space anyways on this robot.
We choose to colon performa wheels for their durability and robustness. We didn't choose pneumatic tire for 2 main reasons; cost (30+dollars per wheel), and the reduced driving capability when not crossing a defence.

What's the weight as pictured?
Looks good. I like the Intake deployment style. What constraints led to that choice, instead of an intake that folds out?

The biggest factor that led us to this design was space. To get the amount of reach we wanted with a fold out designated would Nyerere wit our shooter wheels.

I should have purchased stock in Colson.

Nice robot! That shooter looks really similar to ours. What angle does the ball leave at? How's your consistency been?

It looks at first glance more like a printing press or copier with the cover removed than an FRC robot. Not a bad thing, just curious. Definitely a clean, consistent look.
Are there three belts connecting the front roller shaft with the middle one, or are there interruptions in one or both of those shafts?

What about bumpers? Does your intake come in?

And where I said rearguard I meant rearward or the middle shaft.
Hopefully this answers your questions.
