Really? I do VIQ and I find that the well designed items do really well. So I’d take your VIQ thing falling apart as a hint that it’s not a good design.
Huh. Well now most of the time I just use screws and they hold on nicely.
Todays lesson is finesse vs brute force.
Ha. Are there any other ways to stick pieces together easier?
Legally? There’s those push pin things that are used for VRC license plates.
Illegally? Well there’s super glue, duct tape, some obscure magic that will accidentally bring the end of humanity, lots of options really.
What kind of “obscure magic”?
Build quality and attention to detail.
They stated that they used PI loop. The integral part, in my opinion, should not be used when balancing but rather the derivative part should. The derivative part, IMO, should be recommended to use as it allows the robot to react quicker if the platform starts to tip a direction. But I feel like the integral part would be more of a detriment in this scenario as the robot could possibly roll off or start pushing against the alliance partner due to an imperfect balancing board or plane that can be caused by the mats, plastic deformation, or lexan.
obscure magic as in illegal ways to stick parts together
All of which can be discovered if you adhere to the things mentioned in my previous post.
I agree with your point, however I think that a filtered integral would be better here. The integral would help the robot balance if there is a large error. I would filter the integral so that it only adds the error if its greater than some value. I have yet to try it though.
This is a really interesting design, did you ever end up building this? If so I would love to see some pics,
ITZ type intake with storage?
That’s pretty similar to what’s shown in here, I think.
I haven’t looked at the cad file, but it looks similar.
Thank you for forwarding
i was just thinking about the “super flip” bot on the vex website, then i realize that if you change the ball shooter around a bit, remove the wrist and add a claw you have a pretty good starter bot.
Should I use one pneumatic tank for one piston or can I use it for two pistons?
If you have two tanks use them. They are supposed to be storage for air (that’s why they are called reservoirs) and you can connect stuff using splitters. If you only have one tank, your allowed to use unlimited cylinders as long as the reservoir can still power them.
