Reveal Video
This is team 563B’s field bot (Tsunami)
Specs:
4 motor turbo drive 1:1
2 motor turbo intake 1:1 - 1:3
4 motor turbo flywheel 1:7
Built in 2 days
Feedback is appreciated.
I like it!
Nice job, this is really good for a robot built in 2 days.
If you plan to only shoot balls from the bar like you do in your reveal, I would suggest lowering your flywheel gear ratio and speed up your intake a little bit so that you can have a 4-8 bps fire rate, however, if you plan to shoot from other spots on the field too, then 18:1 might be the best ratio for your flywheel.
Thank you.
Once we finish this tournament this weekend they plan on making it able to shoot the same speed but from midcoart and closer and then add a puncher for the driverloads. They built this bot to compliment most of the bots seen at tournaments that way they could score the most amount of points possible.
Very nice support bot, fast, tough to deal with. Maybe a fast high lift via ramp?
Nice intake!
Any plans for those two extra motors?
lol I have been trying to coax my school’s other teams into going for a similar strategy, but they are still hung up on driver loads.
yeah I was going to ask the same. You’re thinking about a driver loads right?
have you not had issues with the turbo drive “locking up”
Well they are going to change the launcher to shoot the same speed from midfield and then the 2 extras are going to be used for a puncher to shoot the driverloads
Yes but it seems to happen when they get into conflict with anouther robot (pushing) so they just tend to drive around them, but when it does happen they just wait 5 seconds and are good. They might change it to speed 1:3 im not sure.
For a robot made in two days i give it a thumbs up. TBH it is better than most of our robots at my school which students have been working on it for months. However they still dont even have a solid drive base or intake. We only really have 2 functioning robots out of the 12 teams we have. Is it really that hard to plan out a bot and build it?
Nice bot!
Also is that TrapNation music I hear?
EDIT: Found the song–We Rise
Shhhhhh and yeah they thought it was pretty cool
They took about a day of work 3 hours planning it out, and the rest of the time building, the only testing that really needed to be done was the flywheel and some of the intake. The first day they built everything except the flywheel and on the second day they tested and found what worked for the flywheel (befor building they were not sure what ratio to use)
This is a pretty brilliant field robot; nice job! I did notice that your intake was pretty narrow though… Maybe it would make sense to make your drive base more like 16" and have a roller intake that spans the entire robot? Just a thought.
PS It was great competing with you guys in Bakersfield. 
Not OP, but our team has a very functionally similar robot design and we have had problems with balls jamming (two side-by-side balls stuck next to each other) with a wide intake. I had just finished taking apart our second intake that suffers from this issue and was about to building something very similar to what this team used. IMO, it is best to have a narrow intake with an area to catch balls in front of the robot and just turn the robot to get balls in the sides of the intake. This eliminates the jamming problem entirely with only a small amount of potential ground-to-flywheel time added.
Dispite it looking narow it will pick up balls from a wide span, granted not as wide as a full 17’’ intake but it does the job. Plus if a ball ever does get jammed they just turn and pick it up.
Thanks it was this teams first time competing so they defiantly learned alot.
Do you have any problems with your motors overheating when using the turbo motors? It looks like a light weight robot, so I suppose that would help.
