@24523B and I will be attempting to build an advanced robot in 2 weeks before states. Anybody have any tips? Pictures below: :point_down: [IMG_1702]

i’ve managed to build a bot in about 2 days, it works really good without polycarb hooks. you can take this off as inspiration and to try and aply to your robot. it is fairly small and can run off of 1 piston for mogo. [image]

Try converting your drive to a 6-motor drive. If needed you could use a PTO. Put a high strength or c-channel under the bot where the mogo would connect the robot because you don’t want it to drag against the ground. Fix your bracing, and add a c-channel against your bars. Your drive may be a little…

Why are the wheels so close together? This would make the bot very tippy. Do you have smaller wheels?

mumbles in build quality (btw Ryan Liao’s YouTube channel and 9MotorGang’s Youtube channel have videos about build quality) From what I can see… hook + ladybrown. The standard design for a decent robot (half-meta?). (I’m kinda making fun of it because I’ve recently had urges to build a High Stakes…

Ok, that’s a lot of info. Thanks!

[image] rs1: 200 RPM 72 tooth to 48 tooth (ending up as 300 RPM) Pretty sure it’s 60:36 for a speed of 333, you can tell from the size and color (48 and 72 only come in red, 60 and 36 come in green and red) Otherwise this is a pretty good start, but I think the drivebase may be a little too …

one tip is to not use steel for your structure, it is honestly kinda outdated. Most people now only use aluminum. Also don’t use 2x2 L channels for your triangle bracing.

[image] rs1: I’ve recently had urges to build a High Stakes clawbot Do it do it do it Anyway, it is definitely possible to rebuild in 2 weeks. My team rebuilt 3 weeks before states, and we had a functional ring mech and wall stake. However, this was only because of our planning. I highly rec…

Yea we only used steel for the parts we didn’t have in aluminum.

I’ve recently had urges to build a High Stakes clawbot. Honestly do it. I’d recommend checking out Texas R2 championships for inspiration. Look for 3350C, Ctrl Alt Defeat. Literally my favorite bot this year.
