Awesome! I can’t wait for SVR! That shooter and hood combination looks familiar…
Looks like we drew inspiration from the same source during design.
Bot looks awesome.
Kiet,
Great fabrication work as usual.
As I first glanced at the robot, it looked mighty familiar…some 2006 machine that I recall from 254/968.:rolleyes:
Best looking robot I’ve seen yet. I love the obvious nod to the 254/968 shooter of 2006. Hella fly!
Beautifully built.
Any plans for using the camera, or do you have something else up your sleeve for targeting?
Are you worried about ever having more than 3 in that hopper?
We’re able to score accurately using a few reference points on the field. We are also planning on using a camera(wasn’t mounted when the photo was taken).
the robot looks amazing

This robot looks like it is made from Lego Mindstorms, in the good way.
What’s the purpose of the pneumatic piston on the rear of the elevator? My first guess is hood adjustment, but with the rivets running down the hood I’m not entirely sure.
It looks like the hood does adjust, It might be for a short range high arcing mode (like 968 in '06).
Looking very nice 1538 and loving the design concepts this was the first robot I looked back to once the game was announced!
Good luck this season!
I was thinking the same thing. What if a bot on an opposing alliance shot balls into their hopper when they were already carrying 3?
Most likely, the opposing alliance will incur a foul while giving our team another ball to shoot.
It’s just for achieving a steeper trajectory, similar to 968 in 2006.
This robot looks fantastic. Great work
You California teams sure make some shiny robots! The ball harvester pivoting on the same axis as the roller is a nice touch, and I like the pivoting shooter hood. What is the material for your rollers and shafts?
but i was wondering the same thing… how do you keep balls from gettinng into the hopper?
