Please lsist all awards

Robot Questions:

How many footballs can you shoot/dumb/ pickup
Do you score the white ball
Are you a dumper, Catapult ect
Rating of speedA: 1 is worst, 10 is best

Thank you for all the Responses,

Several topics like this already exist, you might want to look into them.

How many footballs can you shoot/dumb/ pickup,
8-9
Do you score the white ball,
Yes
Are you a dumper, Catapult ect, Dump

Rating of speedA: 1 is worst, 10 is best,
I would love to see a robot that could be faster than mine. But I think given the limitations of the Vex system (you can only use 10 Motors!) it is not possible to be faster maybe as fast.

Thanks for the reply… Did you win a tournament or were you an excellence award winner lol :smiley:

Team #24C

2010 Awards:
Nothern Virginia (NOVA) VRC: Tournament Champion
Vex Mid-Atlantic Championship (VMAC): Tournament Finalist (Alliance Captain)
College of Southern Maryland (CSM) VRC: Tournament Champion (Alliance Captain)

Robot Questions:

How many footballs can you shoot/dumb/pickup
4 footballs or around 9 green balls

Do you score the white ball
Yes

Are you a dumper, Catapult ect.
Dumper, with HS chain gears on the front to sweep balls of any size into our bucket.

Rating of speed: 1 is worst, 10 is best
(Not really sure how to put this, but you probably should have just asked what their drive motors gear ratio is, letting teams say 1-10 most would just say 10, since there isn’t much to compare to)
But anyway, my gear ratio is 1:1, not very fast, but as our team is not the richest around, we can’t afford much aluminum (just bought our first pack this year). But the pick-up system is very fast, so that balances out.

Team # 1107c

Robot Questions:

How many footballs can you shoot/dumb/ pickup
3-4 (usually 3)
Do you score the white ball
yes (1 sec to pick up, another to dump ^^)
Are you a dumper, Catapult ect
efficient, roller intake bot (similar to 254)
Rating of speedA: 1 is worst, 10 is best
11/10 ^^
3:1 gear ratio
might have to chain it down to 2.5:1 though :frowning:
well see

Team #177, Twisted Botz

2010 Awards: 14 total, 10 qualifications to Worlds, Champion Alliance of 3 competitions, Excellence 3 times, winner of both Robot and Programming Skills challenges multiple times… A couple other ones…
Please lsist all awards

Robot Questions:

How many footballs can you shoot/dumb/ pickup: 3-4
Do you score the white ball: yes, pickup as well
Are you a dumper, Catapult ect: pick balls up, dump them over
Rating of speedA: 1 is worst, 10 is best: 7, direct-drive omni, mounted at 45 degrees

Exothermic: Team 10Q (yes we finally got a forum ID!)

Balls Dump: We can pick up 8, but reliably dump 6-7 balls in 1 second (though usually there aren’t enough balls on the field to worry about getting that many)

Green Balls: We can pick up ___ (a number too large to bother counting). We can easily score the green balls in the goals.

White Ball: We can easily store 2 white balls, as well as score them. We can also pick them up.

Type of Robot: typical roller dumper…with modifications :slight_smile:

Speed: 2-1 Gearing with 4" omni’s → probably rates at least a 9 on this scale
