[size=][size=]Team 3476: Code Orange Robotics presents our 8th creation, Gnaraloo.
[/size]
Gnaraloo will be competing this weekend at the Orange County Regional and later on at the Aerospace Valley Regional.

I was hoping the color in the render was the IRL color too.
literally if that was what it looked like that would add like 20,000$ to the cost
It is on the comp bot;)
Why would you put a four-bar on an elevator? What a crazy idea…
Jesus. That is clean
CODE ORANGE
Thanks!
Glad we didn’t go with double elevators this year…
Agreed. Everything looks well thought out. Good luck at Orange County!
Super clean. Love the design and the coloring. Good luck this year!
Nope, powdercoating can be fairly cheap when done in-house. Talk to 11 next time if you’re curious about doing some yourself.
Only the cool kids do this.

Needs more turret and swerve
Thought we’d share our technical binder
Note: Don’t make 4 bar gearboxes the way we did 
How did y’all generate the architecture diagram on pg. 19?
Once again Code Orange produces an incredible bot, good job to you & your team!
W̶e̶ ̶u̶s̶e̶d̶ D̶o̶x̶y̶g̶e̶n̶ t̶o̶ ̶g̶e̶n̶e̶r̶a̶t̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶d̶i̶a̶g̶r̶a̶m̶. Doxygen is super useful, you can also generate extensive documentation and other diagrams with extra comment tags in a multitude of languages.
Edit:
Our head programmer let me know that we actually used ObjectAid. It is apparently easy to use with Eclipse, but I would still heavily recommend Doxygen for its full featuredness.
Sweet tech binder, what’s the weakness in the gearbox design? Not obvious to me…
In finals-1 we sheared the screws on the versa planetary disabling the arm. It is 3 stages plus an encoder stage. Not recommended. We also use a gear on the arm and based on the flex of the arm we should have used #35 chain.
We are changing the design to follow the vex recommendations; we will be a bit more conservative and go to 2 stages for the versa planetary.
…that would do it, though I’m not familiar with “shear the screws” failure mode? Which screws?
I’ve definitely mangled sun gears before.
We also use a gear on the arm and based on the flex of the arm we should have used #35 chain.
The #25 should be plenty strong for this - are you sure it’s the chains fault? I’d question the idler-based tensioning and any/all 1/2 hex interfaces first.
If I were setting up a chain run like that, I’d use a turnbuckle (such as WCP Spartan Tensioner) that holds tension in line with your chain run, rather than the idler sprocket drawn in your CAD that has to fight massive loads from the “tightrope effect”. Not sure what the technical term is.
We’ve noticed a lot of slop in the Vex 1/2-hex fit on Thunderhex this year… ended up bolting our “elbow” joint gear (72t 20dp gear) directly onto our arm, instead of transferring torque through the 1/2 hex bore to a versahub. Reduced slop/hysteresis by a factor of 5 or 10.
