Double sided intake club

FIRST General Forum
1

I remember a couple of “clubs” last year (7 disc auto, 50point climb/dump, etc…) and I thought it would be fun to showcase some of the niche robots like this again. Please post pictures and/or video if you have them.

At my team’s regional, we (4536) were the only double-sided intake bot. Here is our highlight video from that event. We really liked the flexibility that this design gave us, we could play either the back or middle zone really well. We were hoping that we could get a ton of assist points which we did.

Watching webcasts, I have seen 254, 3467, 95, and 1678, but I am sure that there are even more double-siders out there.

1538 has two intakes.

Team 461 has a double sided intake.

4

1477 has two as well.

5

As does 2881

6

1493 has two also. Wish we would have utalized the benifits of it more. Makes for great strategy.

Actually Caleb you weren’t the only one at 10K Lakes. We do double side intake, but without two intakes. Our robot is symmetric so we can put the vacuum down on either side of the robot.

Team 1086 has two side intakes.

Gatorzillas 2936 has it too.

10

Team 696 also has double sided intake.

11

3147 and 1529 can load either side.

12

Well, I guess you could call 2481’s intake two sided (or more like three sided, as it is 270 degrees), but I don’t know if that really counts…

13

And 234.

14

And RAGE, 173

15

And 111.

16

1678 with flexible acrylic arms that I haven’t seen elsewhere yet.

17

Polycarbonate arms :stuck_out_tongue: right?

18

1714 also has polycarb a arms…as well as a polycarb frame and shooter

19

1477’s are flexible…I think they’re polycarbonate.

Also 624! Though it seems they haven’t utilized them for a 3 ball auto… Yet… (They are probably limited by their catapult’s recharge speed and their routine of getting double hot goal)
