6546A first bot (rebuilding next week)

Hey everybody! This is the first bot that 6546A built. It has competed in a total of 0 competitions and will not be competing in the future since we are rebuilding. :cry:




Cool features:

  • Linear sliding intake
  • chaining (idk if its cool. main reason why we are rebuilding. kinda scuffed)
  • the back poly thing
  • leaf spring odom (cant really see)

If yall have any questions feel free to ask them!

Hey, TibTy. Why are you rebuilding? Especially since it has not been in a competition yet, you won’t know how it performs. NGL I think it’s a good design and could do well in a comp if you try.

Think you are just trying to lure my teams into complacency.

only 2 weeks to get the new robot up?
Think you might still stand a good chance. 8059A is sitting out Spooky (due to their IBDP mother tongue papers). So it will be mainly my junior teams.

well here is the video of the scoring

its not the best and it is not up to our standards and so we are rebuilding.

haha that’s funny. I forgot about that comp

I think you could add rubber bands for the scoring part of your bot, it could provide more grip on the blocks and score faster, but that’s just my opinion

Ours did the same thing but we moved the spinners up farther and it still does it but not as bad.

From what I’ve seen and experimented with, a counter roller right at the long goal majorly improves the scoring speed and consistency, rather that powering the hood (or both work well too)

YAY so my team has finished our rebuild today and our bot is actually working better than expected. Full robot reveal will be available on halloween.

here is a teaser

ngl I think we procrastinated on our first bot and locked in for our second one so very excited to share!

yep that’s been added!

What was your design for getting the balls out of the goal reload?

wdym goal reload, do you mean match load? If so we just used a simple tongue mech with a pivoting piece of delrin.
