Now that the “secret weapons” are out in the open, its time to introduce the 2012 Ultimate Protection Squad robot: Uptius Erving
Stats:
-8 wheel drive (first time since 06, besides 09, not using Mecanum!)
-AM Supershifters (5pfs / 15 fps)
-FP intake controlled by ultrasonic sensor ball counters (automatically reverses to prevent collection of more than 3 balls)
-4 sided polycord elevator driven by Dual BB550 elevator
-Dual BB550 in a Cim-U-Lator gearbox driving a pair of 6" AM performance wheels for shooter (top speed is just a shade under 5000 rpm)
-Vex Motor driven hood (effective range is 75 degrees to 25 degrees)
-Vex Motor driven turret
-AM PG71 motor in a custom 11.3:1 gearbox for “praying mantis arms” (bridge dropper, bridge lifter, bridge catcher, balance assist, ball funnel)
Unfortunately no time for anodizing this year, but don’t worry - you’ll definitely recognize it as a UPS robot =)
Playing at Pittsburgh week 2 and Wisconsin week 4. And hopefully Championship.
