Swampbotics 2105C Reveal

VEX V5 General Discussion VEX Robot Showcase
#1

Hello everyone!

After winning the Georgia State Competition with our A bot, we decided to keep the same core design. A bot still has a faster LP and Flywheel, as we’re using 3 motors to power each. C bot on the other hand only uses 2 motors each on LP and Flywheel, allowing us to use pneumatics for the lift. We haven’t had any burn out problems with either the LP or the Flywheel; both are very accurate and consistent.

Specs:

⬣ Drive
┕ 4 motors in speed, tank drive

⬣ Collection
┝ Intake - 1 Motor
┕ Belt - 1 Motor

⬣ Flywheel
┝ 2 Motors in speed
┕ 1:21 Gear Ratio

⬣ Linear Puncher
┕ 2 Motors in torque

⬣ Lift
┝ Rubber band powered
┕ Can lift up to 23lbs

⬣ Auton
┝ 4 autons per side
┕ 40-50 points

For those interested, I’ve made the github repo public: Swampbotics Code | Nothing But Net

Possibly my most favourite reveal yet!

#3

Really cool. How’s your puncher accuracy?

#4

Great video, and an amazing fire rate with a two motor launcher!

#5

100% as long as there’s no human error in loading.

#6

Very nice robot and design, what type of velocity control is that for the flywheel?

#7

Love the reveal! Good luck at Worlds from all of 3921! Can’t wait to see y’all there.

#8

How much weight can you lift?

#9

What I really love about this reveal is the attention to cinematography. Many teams can put out a good robot, but your reveal really does a good job of demonstrating the features of your robot in a visually pleasing way. A+ to you guys!

#10

Hybrid bang-bang/TBH velocity control

We can lift around 23lbs

Thank you! I try :smiley:

#11

Just wondering, how heavy is this robot? Nice job on the lift by the way, it is the main thing that stands out.

#12

Our robot weights 21 pounds

#13

Are you using only two pistons for the lift? Looks really great, 23 lb must have a strong locking mechanism

#14

Well 4 in total, but only 2 hold it down
