For those of you waiting, here is the in-depth look at our Passive Intake we used on our first iteration of Honeybadger. (http://youtu.be/1glxk6u4LRM).
Please let us know what you guys think of the design, and the video
For those interested, the [Honeybadger v1.0 page has been updated on our website.
Yes the guides helped a lot. We didn’t have to be as precise, which really helped us because we didn’t get any practice driving the robot until the competition
Yes, I have a video, but I don’t have good internet. I will upload a video once I have good wifi
Thanks It was one of the coolest robots I had built! Sadly, a lot of the components of this robot will be re-done for a better, more effective skyrise robot. Was your favorite part of the robot the flip-out / locking X-Drive? Just a guess
As promised, here is a short clip of our Honeybadger v0.5 scoring the first skyrise section with the passive intake! Please keep in mind our driving was trash, literally garbage. We finished the robot at 2AM the morning of the competition, so we had no time what-so-ever to practice. After the competition, Luke and I practiced a little and we were able to score the first section a ton faster. It was literally double the speed of the video.
