Specs:

  • All in one arm that can pivot
  • 3 Wheeled Linear Shooter(Thanks Team Spectrum)
  • Fast floor intake
  • Fast human loading
  • Fast 10 pt hang
  • Less than 30 second 45 pt dump

Team 842 is very proud of their robot this year and though this was the craziest and most stressful build season we ever had, it looks like our hard work will finally pay off. Good luck to all teams at the Phoenix regional as well as our sponsors.

That climb. Totally want to see this robot up close.

Can someone make a .gif of that climb so I can use it as a desktop background? :ahh:

That is a gorgeous robot, I’d love to hear some stories on how you guys figured out how you were going to juke and jive your way up the pyramid!

Good job with the video John. We do need to remember to open our lower arm when dumping the colored frisbees!

Another beautiful robot! good job guys. :slight_smile:

I absolutely love the feed into the shooter. And the climbing of course.

Awesome bot.

For those interested in the process of how this robot got formed, check out our online journal.

Wow. That climb is incredible. If I knew you could see me in my living room, I would give you a standing-o for that. Really cool robot.

One of the coolest hangs I’ve seen.

wow! that climb took me by total surprise. That robot is a gymnast! I love that multi-arm.

Dat Ascent.

That climb…wow.

I’m curious, why is it only a 45 point climb and not 50?

The last frisbee in our intake falls upward while climbing and the conveyor belt won’t shoot it out. If we go to nationals we may look for other ways to make it a full 50.

Wow amazing robot, that climb was just amazin, love how the hooks are bolted on the chains…i just have to ask, what the name of the song?

I thought no one could make a robot that can literally do everything in this game. Thanks for proving me wrong.

Can I get credit for this one Steven? :wink:

Can they cross-court shoot? Do they have a 7-disc auto programmed yet?

One thing’s for sure; unless they’ve discovered some kind of black magic, they can’t shoot from above 4ft.

Still, darn impressive machine.

I suppose…

But I would define “doing everything” as the following:

  • At least 3 Discs in AUTO
  • At least 8 discs in TELEOP in the HIGH GOAL
  • 30 pt CLIMB
  • Score some discs in the PYRAMID GOAL
  • Floor pickup

Could another robot outscore it? Maybe. But can this machine compete in every single level of the competition? Sure can.

We were struggling for a while trying to figure out how to get the hook-and-chain concept to work. Once we realized that going under the second bar was a reasonable approach, the concept became much easier to work with.

It was a good tip. :slight_smile:

This is amazing. Breath-taking climb, beautiful disc pick up. Congrats on your Phoenix regional win!
