As this crazy year comes to an end, it is the time for many to disassemble their tower takeover robots and scrounge parts for the upcoming season. It doesn’t make sense to leave these robots together but for many teams and especially the teams that are saying goodbye to the high school VRC program, these robots represent years worth of hard work.
Hardware holds value as a part of future robots but CAD does not, and it’s a pretty nice permanent substitute.
Without further ado, I present SCA’s Tower Takeover CAD Reveal:
The following google drive directory contains more renders and all of the STEP files. Feel free to download, and take a look for yourself. We’re very proud of these robots, and I think they’re a great tool for new teams learning the ins and outs of build quality. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ZrWR2IAewpsRg7xUR6-bSFJ3oHa4DUXY?usp=sharing
Feel free to ask us anything you’d like! I’ll answer questions related to appearance or rendering, but @sarah_97963A@mvas or @Xenon27 can also answer any questions about assemblies. All models were rendered in Fusion 360, but some were assembled in Inventor. Which render is your favorite?
These took an incredibly long amount of time to make. For measure, I spent several days making the cad of my robot when I first built it. Then I redid large parts of the original cad to be as detailed as possible based on the months of tuning I spent on my final robot. Had worlds not been canceled. I probably would’ve did a color scheme similar to the one on the robot currently.
I also want to highlight the back end of the cad because I spent a great deal of time setting up everything and fitting tracking wheels on a 25 wide chassis (red robot):
Thanks! Originally we wanted to do all of the robots in one family photo style render, but my computer struggled with 3. In retrospect the paired pictures probably look better anyway.
