FRC team Orbit 1690 is proud to present the CAD for our 2024 robot- Doppler!
You can find a short walk through of our robot in our Behind The Bumpers video.
Likewise please feel free to post any questions here and we will be happy to answer.
Awesome! My team might build this bot for our offseason (This was our rookie year so we’re looking to learn as much as we can before next year), and this will be a big help! Thank you and congrats on worlds!

I bet this offseason we’re gonna see lots of clones of this bot.

Looking forward to see many Dopplers. I just have to warn everyone… Others’ spin shooter, larger diameter intake, amp mechanism that shoots downward, and… Trap mechanism that get closer to the trap - all these work better than our design. The only thing we perfected is being very low. In all other things…our concepts perform worse. A lot of work is required to make it work well enough

i think 359 really wants to understand that 720 turret on jack in the bot… we’ll see

Did you guys machine the roller pinions or buy them from a supplier?
What’s the encoder you are using on your swerve modules?
Love digging into this thing. Thanks for posting the CAD!
From an outside perspective, this robot is definitely low but the true strength of this robot is that it’s fast and controllable. Being low is a huge help to both of those, but you made hardware that allowed your software to really hit its maximum potential. I think everyone on the field can learn from this machine, I know we will.

Don’t have to wait for the offseason! We saw the reveal video and decided right then and there to go with the concept for the season.

With the amount of machine work needed for 2910 robot, my guess is less teams will try to replicate it completely. We will still try and want to do a PNW offseason.
1690’s robot is very tempting also. I can’t get over how it looks like a kit bot drivetrain.
Thanks for sharing and early.

To be fair, last year was also pretty difficult and more teams went for it than i expected then also. maybe i’ll be surprised this year
Why not both?
Whether separately or on the same robot is up to your interpretation.
If you are referring to the ones in our pivot, each pinion is made out of two separate plates, with steel pins between them that act as the “teeth” of the pinion. So yes, we machined them but it’s much less complicated than it looks.
It’s an MA3 absolute encoder (I don’t remember the specific model we used), you can get it from AndyMark pretty easily.

It’s the ma3-p12 (12 bit reading… signal is pwm)
We started with the a10 model (10 bit, analog output), preferred higher resolution, though… Not really justified

I’m very excited to dig into the CAD of the 1690 robot! Thank you for sharing.
We would love to have you at the 2024 PNW Block Party.

Any code release?

I was wondering how you guys ran the cables for your climber deployment setup. My team has been looking into lighter climber setups, and I thought your deployment was really smooth.
