Hey, my team has a couple of competitions coming up so I’m curious what others think of our bot. The video is a of our best skills run. If there is any obvious mistakes, quick fixes, or major problems with our bot feel free to let me know. If you would like some elaboration on our bot or need to see more of it I can send pictures and/or explain some things. Thanks in advance for any ideas.
Maybe a way for them to come out the back so you don’t need to turn to unload. A color sensor to see if you should unload the current ball out the back with a button override if you want to put the other color in for whatever reason
A pooper bot is something I definitely want to try. Our team has been currently working on an indexer that might work for pooping the balls.
Thanks for the suggestions! I’ll try to talk with my team about it
Speed up the intakes. The balls slow down a noticeable amount when you intake compared to when you get the ball to the rollers. It should also slightly help fielding issues that you’re encountering. To address the fielding it’s quite simply driver practice that you could additionally work on but everyone needs more of that
Overall I feel you need to fix the fact that you have anti tips. But I would say if you practice driving a lot more thst could offset some problems with the robot
No offense, but you guys need to work on your driving and planning. Take the first 4 seconds as an example. You fail to pick up 2 balls. You could defiantly improve your run by picking them up or starting facing the goal.
Arguably you don’t need the ejector (pooper), but you would need to plan out your blue ball ejection better. You guys sometimes eject a blue ball only to have it bounce right back into your intakes or other inconvenient spot, which defeats the purpose of ejecting it.
I second the suggestions that you shouldn’t need anti-tips. In particular you could considering moving the battery, which is high up on the bot and fairly hefty.
