What’s up my dudes, this is our first fully built robot of the year and we think it turned out pretty well. We, as well as 8 others teams from Nebraska, have been invited to compete in China for a tournament in the middle of August and this is the robot we will use for that event. I enjoy all feedback on the robot, and am open to starting any discussions about our design. Thanks!
I’ve been waiting to see that exact mobile goal intake all season, and I’m really glad you pulled it off. Everything looks clean and well built: great job! What is your cycle time to stack 10 cones on the mobile goal?
Thanks!
Good to hear you like the design! We just tested it and we can score 10 cones in around 35 seconds. I also know we can score 12 cones on a mobile goal and score it in the 10 point zone in around 50 seconds.
Are you right at the edge of the 36"? I’m just curious about how much about how much of a constraint it is, not trying to say that you’re out of size or anything
We can stack 14 cones on a mobile goal. While designing this bot, we thought it would be useless and simply extra weight to go any higher than 14. Since there is only 1:45 in a match, you are crazy if you are going for a stack higher than 14 when you have 5 separate goals to score on.
The CREATE foundation, who puts on the US Open every year, is based in Nebraska. CREATE came into contact with Chinese representations and was given paid spots to a Chinese tournament for a handful of teams from Nebraska. It will be a great experience and I am thinking of documenting it for a vid. Maybe.
