Team 4499 The Highlanders presents our 2023 robot: Iceman.
Watch us compete at Utah, Colorado, and Rocket City Regionals.
Thanks to our sponsors Neaera Consulting, Lockheed Martin, Metal Distributors, The Gene Haas Foundation, Front Range Powder Coat, Fort Collins Plastics, US Engineering, and DNKE.
One of my favorite reveal videos. Good luck 4499, time for a blue banner!
Awesome looking robot, sometimes the intake of an upright cone is lightning fast. Congrats and good luck this season!
How did you decide the CF stiffening members were necessary?
We wanted tie rods → We had CF on hand in a pretty convenient size → Yes
This was the thought process. Not that the CF was necessary and totally wasn’t for testing something else.
Wow, congratulations on your new robotics robot! It looks like an incredible piece of technology.
Great robot! can’t wait to play you at colorado regionals
that intake is super pretty! would y’all be willing to share how much compression you’re using? ty!
I’m not sure how important compression actually is. When we tested through the compression range we were looking for, it seemed that the angle was more important than the compression (within reason).
We did 4.75 between rollers to discourage the cube from sending itself through the intake not because we needed compression.
I’d challenge you to look at Spectrum’s (3847 or anyone similar) intake and really understand how it works.
Congrats on your victory in Utah!
