A very creative use of an extension ladder. No why didn’t my team think of that before designing and building our own lift?
What’s going to go on the end?
How fast is your robot? It looks pretty fast.

thanks this is my 4th build seasion and i have build lifs and they always broke on me also the view was my back yard My team has no machian shop its built in a livingroom

team_3311 · February 12, 2011, 2:45pm

Its fast over 10 m/s I think we just weighted it it only 97 lbs

phoenix_fire · February 12, 2011, 4:05pm

Wow, a living room.:yikes: Up till this year, my team has been working out of garages.

What are you guys using to pick the tubes up?
10m/s, is a pretty nice speed. Good luck at competition.

We are using phunmatics claw and the best part about building in a living room is we can littarly take our entier shop with us aka drill pluse saz all plue skill saw

Is that an “H” or “slide” drive, like the omni part of a nonadrive, or just four omniwheels? If it is, what are you using to ensure that the wheels all remain on level ground?

Nice deck and view.

Our team 1584 does all our work in a shop in the back of the school, I never knew we were so lucky to have a shop.

I concur.

I mean it could be improved, but for how short of a time it must’ve taken to get that running, it seems worth it…

Grim_Tuesday · February 12, 2011, 7:08pm

Same.

Steve_Alaniz · February 12, 2011, 7:21pm

its klamath lake largest lake in the pacific north west by surface area

team_3311 · February 12, 2011, 10:41pm

its 4 powered omniwheels and its balance by even weight distribution

We were actually considering a prefabricated extension ladder as well, but decided against it. It was significantly different, with several telescoping stages (collapsing to a much lower height), but also with quite a bit more friction and plenty of complications for driving the thing. Our serpentine belt powered forklift, based off Teams 25, 254, 986, and probably more from 2007, went together much easier.

I looked at thouse and I didn’t like them eather also telicosping latters are like twice the price which I didn’t have to spend on

MIght want to consider switching the 2 front omni wheels for traction wheels. As it is arranged right now, just about any other drive train will be able to push you as much as they want plus the 4 omni wheels arranged like that don’t give you any ability for holonomic motion.

That said, good job getting a robot designed and built in 5 weeks.

Our 1st year we built on my dining room table… Those were the days!! Thank goodness they are over!! :rolleyes:

team_3311 · February 13, 2011, 8:24pm

Maybe we don’t have all the stuff that we would have in a shop at school, but can you spend a night or a whole weekend there? Can you just make some pizza? Can you just play XBox when you got nothing to do? And many many other thing. I think it’s better to do that in a living room.
