Starstruck Lift Gear Ratio

mwang17 · January 15, 2017, 10:32pm

I look to Cam’s bot for reference.

Thank you guys all so much for your help! As I am writing this, we have received over 550+ truly meaningful responses. I want to let you guys know that you are an amazing community and I feel so happy to be a part of it. I don’t think it would be possible for me to have gotten this many responses form any other group. Finally, here is the reveal of the robot I promised; its not a full perfect reveal video with lights and stuff, just some short clips to show its potential and performance.

Typical cycle of 6 stars, more than this requires strategic placement in the intake that requires precious time, however, the intake and lift are totally capable of 8. By far the strongest aspect of this intake is the ability to pick up 3 stars and a cube. This has really allowed us easily overwhelm robots that can only throw stars or a cube. At the time of this video, the pneumatic latch that locks the arm down and the hanging gook were not yet mounted, but I didn’t feel like I needed to re take pictures of it, because they are so simple. If people are really struggling on it, maybe later I can take more pictures. (it hangs like every other claw bot)

Gear ratios:
1:1 hs 4" wheel 4 motor drive
1:5 hs 6 motor lift
2 piston pneumatic intake (active in, passive out)

Interesting things about this robot:
Drop center drive for super fast turning.
Not a single bearing flat on the entire robot.

The below teams can PM me for close ups on the intake, lift, lock, drive, ect. and I will send them your way tomorrow. Feel free to keep the pictures to yourself or share them, I don’t mind.
