This wouldn’t work, you can’t vertically intake risers.
I tried it a lot, and had less than no luck with it, so I would highly suggest a different design.
Me to I tryed two times but it is not possible, the best robot design will be using arms
It’s not that it’s not possible, it’s that you haven’t had success with it, as it is looking to be an off-meta design this year, just like traybots for Change Up(which is what I’m doing)
I know that I am reviving this topic, but I thought that a very similar idea has picked up some momentum.
In this video, an upright tray bot (an elevator bot) is part of a 306 point teamwork match.
I liked this idea, and built my own elevator bot. It can fold up into a legal starting position, but I didn’t do that because it is more work than I’d like to do each match. So far, it can score four stacks in a teamwork match (in the video it only scores three plus one base riser), but the goal is to be able to score five stacks.
I would appreciate suggestions or ideas about how I could improve it (both for strategy and physical design). Thanks!
Just from the video, your bot seems to be leaning some, and the risers are not straight in the tray. More triangular supports?
Edit: maybe you can make the risers straight by having a tray side guards that hugs the risers tighter, giving them less wiggle room?
That actually was our first version of the robot, as can be seen in this video. We had an a-frame that unfolded with the elevator, but it ultimately proved to be more work than it was worth. Not only was it complicated, but it also was big and bulky and hard to reset.
I will try to add some more supports though. Thanks for the suggestion!
i would add arms so you can top towers already up
2m drive
1m arms
2m intake
1m tilt
@Mactar_2420X I’m not sure that I see what you mean by this. Out of curiosity and for clarification:
- I can top stacks already up; we can put two risers on a base riser and put one riser on top of two other risers.
- Why would you want the elevator to be tilted? That is, what advantage would it get you?
- Is the intake the elevator, or are you saying that I should do an intake on the sides of the riser and not from the back?
Or, are you saying that I should change this into a Tower Takeover robot with two intakes at the bottom, one on each side, and a tilter on the elevator and an arm so that I can top stacks that are already up?
I am not sure if you are proposing a new idea, or a modification to my robot. I like where you are going with this, and it sounds cool, but could you clarify? Thanks!
no i mean like a standard tower takeover bot. and the arms can add 1 riser to a stack of 2
Just bring the riser on the conveyer to the top.
Me just being a happi boi and getting 102 in teams by myself
I uploaded a video to answer some questions.
Nice!! That standoff runner is very smart! Nice job.
Here is a video of my elevator robot doing both parts of the virtual teamwork setup. I will release a teamwork video soon.
I am really confused on how you make these bots.
Are you saying that you want to make one, and you have a question? Or are you saying that you want to make one but don’t know how? Or are you just curious about a specific part of the robot? Or something else? What part are you confused on?
