Wow… and we lost in QFs lol. Then again, we were also against the tournament champions in our quarterfinals round, so maybe that was understandable…

Beautiful! Does that count as in or would the refs call that out of the field?

Lol that’s awesome, so many teams on here were there yesterday. We almost asked you guys to alliance during selection but we went with one of our sister teams instead.

just for the future, there is git. Or upload to Google drive/dropbox/etc.

twisted shaft? WEEK! twisted and split shaft with a lock bar that can’t come off. Strong!

Dump bots? Yea I miss oirs

Our sister teams every driving session. It is a moby’s specialty.

I think the picture speaks for itself

Ik its kind of late but after that literally like every pole fell out of the mogos after that.

Uhm. Ref I have some questions, and a couple of concerns.

No joke, I got mad ideas for a decent bot from that thing.

They were all falling out already, idk how they managed to build that with them all falling out

P.O.V. The goals are playing the floor is lava.

2 full rotations. That’s what it takes for a small shaft to break, courtesy of a high torque motor in a 1:7 gear ratio, needless to say after seeing this my team found an alternate solution that didn’t involve putting so much torque on the axle, always try to keep the torque on the gears and only have axles as pivot points, whenever possible!

Cheers!


“Counterweight”

We had to use an axle that looked like a Twizzlers for one of our matches.

Yeah, we had some shafts that looked like that after a few months on our robot. We turned them into drill bits for drilling through lexan.

Nice! One of the 21417 robots uses a counterweight too. Basically, they took two pieces of 2x2 c channel, screwed them together to make a hollow, blocked off the ends, and filled them with nylock nuts.

the best counter weights that I have found are the new 24 tooth steel gears. They are very chonk.
