OK so sorry about the last post… didnt have much time to put in a good description
SO lets try this again…
Drive:
-The drive is all wheel drive at 160rpm using all 4 393 motors.
-The robot is not pushed around very easily
-4 4" omni-directional Wheels
-1:1 gear ratios
Lift:
-The lift is tilted back at about 3 - 5 degrees to relieve unneeded stress off the slides
-The lift is a double extending lift using an idea perfected by team 1103
-Uses rubber bands to help counter act the weight of the intake
-Uses 4 269 motors approx. 30 in lbs of tourque
-Very fast and light weight ( not sure on time but its around 2 - 3 seconds to 30" goal
Intake:
-The intake can hold 4 objects
-Can score both low and medium goals from either the top or bottom of intake
-Can score the high goal from the top only
-Uses guides on bottom of robot to help align barrels and balls
-Cannot pick up the barrels when the indents on the top and bottom are facing the intake paddles…
General:
The robot is designed to be fast and efficient. Lock nuts are used throughout the robot to make sure everything is tight and secure.
Why are the lift motors mounted high instead of low?
I usually like to mount my outside C rails with smooth side out,
and I like to use something more substantial than just standoff-posts to mount the outer rails.
Use of lock-nuts is interesting, maybe you can give a post-competition lessons learned.
We got a 16 in the skills challenge… probably could have done better… but durring the emiminatios i went 8 rounds in a row back to back. and never had a overheating problem at all…
I think on average we would score 15 or so pieces per match… plus either the double or negation barrels sometimes both. and thankyou video will be posted soon on youtube.
