Team 1710’s Week 4 Progress Update. You’ll be seeing more videos coming soon.
Very nice shooter! Interesting choice putting it off to the side. Was there a reason you decided to go with a long chassis and point it out of the side as opposed to a wide chassis with it pointing out of the front? This also somewhat confirmed my suspicions about disks coming out of the goals. How often in your testing have you seen that happen?
Disks coming out of the goals were very rare, it usually only occurred when a previous disk was just there pushing the chains out of the way. We decided to put the shooter to the side as to have the the ability to strafe more easily, distance will be handled by the angle of the shooter and speed of the wheel.
Hey 1710! Nice looking robot. I like it. Can’t wait to see you all at the KC Regional this year. Looking forward to competing with you all again. Team 3528 Up Next says hi! ^^
