Here is the link to a picture of my 3rd iteration of my nbn bot. Unfortunately, due to the lack of time, I wont be able to compile footage into a reveal video for this robot until after worlds. I thought I may as well post a picture here to see who can understand how it works. I won’t be bringing this robot to worlds but it was kinda a neat concept. I definitely say it was a cool experience learning about planetary, but overall, the system wasn’t all that effective.

Wow.
That planetary gear system would be amazing.
Too bad that it wasn’t that effective.
Was that the robot that got 305 in skills?
Actually, that was a different robot had a 6 motor shifting drive. Kinda like the one Gael Force Robotics revealed but with only 6 motors shifting. It was more cleanly built and was much more accurate. Problem was that it’s intake had a lot to be desired and it could only physically hold 2 - 3 balls at a time. I actually believe that robot could have potentially score a much higher score with better programming and I’ll be taking that one to a skills event next weekend. At max speed I could finish on side’s preloads in 13 ish seconds.
Do you have any videos of the gear system in action? I would be interested. in seeing that
Hey 3388T. 9409A here. congrats on worlds. Alberta was a good time. It’s unfortunate that our robot decided to break down on our final match with you guys for worlds qualification. Going to Vancouver though so not too mad.
Thanks. I liked the mere simplicity and effectiveness of your guys robot. Are you planning on sending 1 or2 if your teams to bcit. You should note that the reffs in BC are a little better informed of the actual rules. They will dq you for entering the climbing zone in the last 30 second s but you are allowed some contact (these were not always ruled correctly in alberta).
Look forward to completing with you at bcit.
We are taking 2 of our teams to BC. 9409A and 9409C(The final Alliance). You guys are going to BC too?
Yes, we will also be competing at bcit. That said, i will be using a completely different robot.
