Taken right before it was crated and shipped. The 2 ramps will exceed the 4 inch level, we hoped to have one powered, and lift 12 inches, but we don’t have the weight. But if we can find some places to scrape off 4 pounds when we get to regionals who knows… Due to our battery placement, it is currently impossible to drive up another robot. Thanks for looking at it, good luck to all teams!
Awesome looking bot Ian. How many motors is that powering the drive train? I cant tell. Nice mecanums.
How is the arm powered, I can’t really tell from the pic. Sorry. by the way, we will have a hacksaw at ptree if you need to lose some weight lol.
Can’t wait to see it in action.
Four, mecanum requires that each wheel has its own motor, 4 cims and gearboxes really made a dent in our weight. The arm is powered by a window motor, the large gear is actually liberated from a broken flex-plate and a piece of steel. Luckily we have a portable bandsaw for weight loss.
Seriosly though, we weighed exactly 120 lbs before shipping…
