Here is a video of 1014’s nearly complete practice robot. The 10 point climber is not mounted yet, the winch will be mounted under the shooter deck and the side shields are not on. Otherwise it is pretty much complete.
The final robot is in mid fabrication. Here is a time lapse video of the chassis pieces being machined on Saturday (for welding Monday and Tuesday). The plan is to finish the welding during the start of the week and have the final robot assembled by Saturday for testing.
While I am posting, here is a video of the pusher we are using to move the frisbees to the shooter. And one of our sports themed promo videos.
The left pull on the shooter came when we adjusted the shooter wheels once. It is because the side wall extends a few inches beyond the wheels. But since it shoots consistently we decided to leave it. We will have the camera mount at the actual shooting angle.
That is great!!! Now if only I could convince our team to try that…
It really wasn’t as hard as I thought. We were just careful with the testing. (We shot a water bottle out of someone’s hand first.) A couple of adjustments, by a little bit each time.
Here are a couple of other videos we shot last night:
