-4, 4" plaction wheels spread for optimal sturdiness and bridge balance
-“Finger” ball intake allows ball pick up from either side, at any speed
-Polycord ball elevator allows for storage of up to 3 balls
-2 wheeled shooter powered by Banebots 775’s makes full court shots
-Articulating shooter can change the angle of the shot anywhere from vertical to horizontal
-Bridge manipulator allows for quick bridge actuation and crossing
-Wide robot configuration makes optimal bridge balancing with other robots

Enjoy!
Why do you only use 2 CIMs on your drive when the ones on your shooter only go 40 feet? Our shooter is run with two 775’s through CIM-U-LATOR gearboxes and we shoot full court, if not farther at full power. It seems like those CIMs may be better used elsewhere (on your drive).
Here is the Robot unveil http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature…&v=N0im0XImxBg
Shooter:
(includes specs and all)Powered by 2 fisherprice 9015 motors.
Has a Max Distance of about 30 Feet.
Once we put on our 0673 motors it will shoot farther.
The Angle of the shooter can be manually adjusted before the start of the match.
Rotation of about 270 degrees
Rotation is powered by a andymark 9014 motor.
The shooter uses the camera for assisted aiming of the shooter.
Wedge:
Wedge powered by 1 window motor
Lift and intake roller:
Lift powered by a denso throttle control motor
The lift uses poly-cord to carry the ball resting on a series of PVC rollers.
Drive Train:
Kitbot on Steroids Modified by using 8 inch wheels instead.
Turns on a dime.

I’ll get a better video up in a few
Specs:
26.5" x 34"
Cannon shoots 47’ in the air
Cannon shoots 57’ after rolling on the the ground
Able to cross and manipulate bridge
Kinect capabilities
Cannon has variable speeds on both top and bottom wheels for spin
Hopper for catching rebounds, shots from teammates and random flying balls
Autonomous that can score 6 or 4 points
Able to score in all baskets
Was the estimated landing point. Including the bounce we can go ~60 feet.
Unless you mean your robot can shoot all the way to the end of the court without the bounce… :eek:
We had to lower our shooter power because we were shooting over the field. No bounce.
MARS 2614 is proud to present ‘Marvin V’ also known as ‘marVin.’

Drive Train
6WD Dropped center
6 Inch rough-top wheels
Driven by internally run belts and pulleys
Modified AM supershifter, geared for 4.5 ft/sec and 17ft/sec.
Automatic shifting based on encoders
Ball Collector
2 Stage polycord lift system
Lower stage and front roller collect balls
Upper stage stores the balls and feeds them into the shooter
IR senors are used to detect the balls and “organize” them within the magazine
Each stage is powered by 1 BB
Shooter
2 Wheel shooter powered by 1 BB
The cowl angle and shooter speed can be adjusted
Can score in 3pt hoop from the fender, the key, and slightly over half court
Work on full auto targeting and autonomous will continue on the practice robot
The shooter is pointed perpendicular to the driving axis to help with lining up for high-accuracy fender shots
Bridge/Barrier
Marvin V can cross the barrier but prefers to use the bridge
Pneumatically actuated bridge tipper
Auto-level using a gyroscope when balancing alone
Miscellaneous
“MARS Probes” to clear balls from under bridges and corners

The pink pool noodles are just safety covers for the roll bars
Just 2 more weeks until Pittsburgh!
This is the most entertaining release video, I have ever seen :D. Great Job! and good luck this season.

See you all in Duluth! (and then again at North Star!)
Team 4160 from Mission Bay High School is a rookie team attending San Diego regional. The shooter hood is soon to be replaced by lexan using the withholding allowance.
The ball was accidentely shot into a wall where it rebounded back into the shooter three times in a row! The second ball soon ended the incredibly fun cycle. Don’t blink it goes fast!
Lookin’ pretty smooth. Did you try recovering balls from a bridge? I also caught your “thank you” video - class act! BTW who’s that guy wandering into the frame? Mentors aren’t part of the team?
