Hi all! I am wondering what I can do to make my robot intake cubes faster (through driver or building). I see the chinese teams are stacking 13stacks fast. Also, I am wondering what could better optimize my traybot? I am using complex tray. 100rpm intakes.
Make your intake rollers 200 rpm and increase compression. Also, sprocket size matters, too. What size sprockets are your intake powered by?

Will do for the 200rpm. Also the same as goofy (24t by 18t I think it is)
Ok, that’s in the range that you should be able to go 200 rpm
Also quick q for deploying I have to move the tray forward to push intakes down, run intakes out to release tray, then bring tray back. Is there a way to make this faster. Also, I’m having trouble with fitting in size with a 7cube tray
Less of having trouble but it’s close to 18"
The intake rollers should be out of the way so u won’t have to run those to deploy a stack. You can also set up the entire process as an autonomous function in driver control
In order to do that passively, it means completely releasing the cubes so you have no grip on them. Great for stacking on the ground, but hard to stack on stacks.
It wouldn´t be such a great idea to use a motor to open the intakes, that´s a waste of motor that could be used somewhere else.
How do all the good teams with flip downs release quickly at the beginning of the match?
I mean the roller flipping downwards instead of the side
I think it’s a single screw holding it in and when something moves the screws move as well and the rollers drop down
But wouldnt the rollers get caught on the 3cube trays?
It’s a trade secret that only some posses, or just figure it out yourself, it’s not that complex

Most teams use 200RPM, but be aware of the fact that if you are using the default drive program, and run your intake with any of the digital buttons, it will only run at half speed.

we geared up our intake to be really speedy (200 rpm * 1.66)
What sprocket size is the end driven gear?
either 24 or the one larger than that
So the regular size. How many cubes can your intake pick up?
not sure yet, we don’t have enough treads to finish the intake, all we have are the sprockets installed
And getting back to the topic, recently there has been a surge in traybots, from what I’ve seen back in July there were plenty more dr4bs out there. And traybots were disregarded.
