I decided it would be a good idea for forum members to have a thread where we can post what we will have on display at our pits as well as which pits we want to check out on the 18th.
2243B will have this at our pit for anyone who wishes to play around with such an extreme gearbox.
I know I’m going to see a couple of local team’s pits (you know… just to say “Hi”), but I will also try to stop at 44’s, 1107B’s, 569’s, 901’s (the other super stacker), and probably some more…
Me too. I saw they made a blog post about their robot, Fred V, they won an innovate award for their “out-of-the-box” design. I can’t wait to check it out.
Hey, guys. My team will have tons of flyers and stuff to hand out at our pits (hopefully some candy as well). We will also have some videos of matches and practices playing at our table. We will be keeping music playing for the whole competition (Taking song requests! ) and we will be doing plenty of exploring and communicating with other teams.
I’m sure you will see me at Worlds (I’m 6’ 5", and I will have my name-tag, so I should be pretty hard to miss.) I’m seriously looking forward to putting faces to names this year, and I hope you guys will find time to come say hi to us.
We also have a very unique bot design this year that deserves a look when you get tired of seeing side-suckers ;). We’ll be doing a reveal this week, so you guys can get an inside look before Worlds.
I’m getting pumped!
Please come see us at Worlds, and, in my team’s motto:
May Your Axles Remain Ever Straight
Due to our (former) mentor taking the robotevents.com logins with him when he fled Japan and ceased contact last year, we are actually team 5492 this year. I think it’ll be back to 901 next year.
Anyway, come by, we’ll have a (improved, hopefully complete) super stacker around. And Pocky.
Because our full game objects kit and Gateway field are suffering total existence failures, I’ll be doing a looooooooooot of autonomous tweaking that Wednesday
Stop by at 7581H’s pit if you want to see a 3-stack scissor lift with a 1:21 gear ratio! You also might be interested to see our wheel base and our method for stopping our robot from tipping.
