Week 4 Recap

Yes, yes you have seen good results with it!! At least from our point of view. It looks very effective!!! I like the addition of the omni wheels to your outside plate for the intake also. I’m assuming that was for function, not just setting the height of the intake? Also if i may ask, what belt and pulley combo are you using to “transfer” the note up theough the intake? (And it transfers the power to the front wheels).

The bot is looking great! I was wondering how your AMP Scoring is working for you. We’ve had inconsistent results with a similar setup

What ratio does intake have?

The Omnis actually were just to get the height perfect for the intake prototype. We do not plan to mount Omnis on our final robot. We are using 30t pulleys with HTD belts on our intake as well.

We have not done a crazy amount of testing yet, but we found pitching our shooter up high did have rather consistent results.
Alphabot Climber Test
Final Alpha Bot Design
We have mechanically completed our alpha bot! For our practice and competition robot designs, our main changes will involve creating a transfer mechanism that does not bend the notes, as well as has a dedicated trap mechanism. Our alpha bot will now be used by software for testing and auto routines!

We are using 1 falcon 500, with a 36.46:1 ratio, however we would have liked to make it a higher ratio so it would stay up better. Here are the gears we used!

What is the structure of the intake in your robot? We made a design similar to this system, but we could not center the note exactly like you. can you help us? Instead of wheels, we will use a pipe wrapped with special tape that increases the retention of the note. Can you share the CAD design?

Our intake has a series of 2" flex wheels to initially pick up the note, and then a series of 3" and 4" flex wheels to take care of the centering. We will be releasing the cad at the end of the season but we ill be posting videos of it working very soon!
Thats so awesome! Our team was talking all about that Thursday.
Competition Adjustable Hood Test
Robot Turret Test
We have made great progress so far this week! Our shooter is fully assembled and is now being wired. Additionally our intake an transfer are almost 100% designed and will be cut soon as well!
