Here is our robot unveil video check it out
Wow - very impressive, congratulations! The balancing clips are awesome!
Thanks, the team worked very hard on it
Awesome machine.
How steep of an angle does a robot have to climb to get onto your robot?
Actually, the other robot balances on the bridge, we drive up and have a cylinder that holds the bridge so they just drive up on us without having to go up a ramp
Again you guys have created a solid, creative robot that will be formidable in competition. I can’t wait until West Michigan to see this robot up close.
This year is one of the best games in encouraging different designs and strategies. Now all that’s left is to see how these robots fare in competition.
Great job guys. Very innovative. Excited to play with/against this beast. Was really hoping for a giant hammer though to lower the bridge!
thanks to everybody im sure the team will appreciate the compliments
Another solid machine from a great team. Your video should have included more footage of all those long shots you were sinking! See you at West Michigan.
Thanks again to 2771 “Code Red” for providing us all the opportunity to practice together.
Our team is planning on scouting at gull lake, so we can see your awesome robot, your team usually has one
Very cool robot. Probably my favorite that I’ve seen so far.
(As a Minnesota Viking fan the blue “V” and logo just don’t look right, though).
Whoever has seen the video, do you think this way to balance 3 robots is feasible in competition?
Does it actually balance? The video cuts short each time you are attempting to do it.
we only tried balancing once but we added a part to the robot to keep it from tipping if it goes to far, but we can actually push all three robots up ourselves so we can control it very well.
I think its feasible if you can actually do it. It looks really hard to get it balanced, by shown in your video of you not quite getting it, but I assume that those were some of the first attempts. I know 1501 has the same stacking idea and they had trouble at practice this past sunday.
Do you know if there is any link to 1501, a pic or a video?
Thanks for the compliment, although honestly we are trying to make this year our comeback so I hope we can impress at Gull Lake. This time we have completed the entire robot so we can spend our 6 hours and tomorrow having the drivers practice, tuning our programming, and fixing electrical issues. Driving over basketballs is a lot easier than it initially seemed, at least there is no penalty for that unlike in 2010.
No I don’t. But based on your video, theirs is extremely the same when it come to the stacking.
The ramp at Code Red Robotics, (and all others i have seen) was unweighted, so theoretically it should be easier in-match to balance than it was their.
Hmmmm I haven’t heard about another team doing this, I will do some research and see if i can find out about their robot.
