@@MrRiedemanJACC it's a sheet of plywood with some 2x4s fastened underneath.

We're not ready to share the CAD at this point in time but their is a lot of good information in the technical document linked in the video's description.

I only ask because this is a similar design we wanted to approach but chose not to due to rules.

@@MrMegamike2k You're corrected on the extension limits but this fits in 42". We have a 42"x20" box that we've verified the extension of the robot in.

Take a look at the technical doc in the description for more details and pictures.

There is definitely so ambiguity on in this rule as one could argue the Ascent attempt starts on approach to the Submersible. "A ROBOT is considered ASCENDING once it is attempting to achieve an ASCENT LEVEL". Once there is a rulling on Q&A #79 there will be more clarity on whether this climb approach is valid. Either way, the preferred climb method would be the one in the reveal video that also attempts the L3 ascent.

@@PeytonYeung Re-read the orange box. "A robot is considered ascending once it is attempting to achieve an ascent level, and ascended once it has achieved an ascent level." "The intent of part B of this rule is for the ROBOT to start its ascent outside of the submersible zone except for minor elements used by the robot to contact the rung. Once robots start their ascent, parts of the robot may swing into the submersible zone, which is not a violation of this rule." Your ascent did not start until you contacted the rung I believe and even if it had, prior to that, the intake was all the way across the submersible. Just make sure it is legal. Also, super cool level 3 if you can get it to work and it's legal.

@@ryanwilson31It’s all legal

​@@majorserrors Everything looks good EXEPT for extending that far into the submersible before starting the "accent"

The part on the left of the robot is a turntable bearing and a large gear. Typically this is mounted horizontally as a turret but in this case it was mounted vertically to act as an arm joint.

The arm rotation is an AndyMark 8in Turntable Assembly and two 5 turn torque servos.

I believe the answer to Q&A #49 makes this climb legal. "Provided that the SUBMERSIBLE barrier is not grasped and does not provide vertical support for the ROBOT, contacting the vertical surface of the SUBMERSIBLE barrier to prevent ROBOT tipping during an ASCENT and when ASCENDED is allowed." When the robot touches the high rung, the pogo stick is only in contact with the vertical surface of the barrier.

Q&A 49 makes this climb legal

Support can only come from the first rung and nowhere else. That would mean that when you initially touched rung 2 your robot shouldn't have been touching anything except the first rung. Still super cool concept for such a difficult challenge. ​@PeytonYeung

@@ryanwilson31 I believe the answer to Q&A #45, #49, and #81 allow this type of climb. There are included provisions for additional contact points as long as they are against vertical surfaces as they don't support the weight of the robot.

@@PeytonYeung what you said is completly correct for all the vertical surfaces. The submersible barrier is a horizontal surface though. The vertical surfaces would be the side structure that the rules explained I believe.

@TUDDYWASHERE This is a robot from the CENTERSTAGE season. It is not able to reach into the submersible.

No, this is RoBITs, the best FTC build system!

Probably not

All the wheels are AndyMark 35A compliant wheels made of TPU. These were made before the Compliant Star was released.

Haha it's not too far off.

It's the mecanAM chassis from AndyMark with NR bevel boxes installed between the wheels.

This used 19.2 gearing on the drive and a 51 with an additional 1.5 gear ratio for the arm.

We had it leftover from a while ago but it's similar to www.mcmaster.com/6075K15/

Thank you so much

No 3d printed parts. Everything is a traditional core kit component except the surgical tubing.

There are some pictures here --> imgur.com/a/dX4Fzl1

There is a better view of the underside in the reveal video. th-cam.com/video/Vscda9Z_jUE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=R6ejJcN2IgZ8qsIZ

Please send an email to support@andymark.com and we'll help as soon as we can!

H drive is based on the orientation of the wheels. In this case, there are omni wheels on the sides and one perpendicular in the center. When viewed from above, it forms an H. Our first qualifier is in late January.

@@PeytonYeung What is your team number ?

@@MichaelLotwin 4366, 6518, 19932, and 21931

Unfortunately there was no CAD model made.

I think most team's focus early on is to place all of 1 color on each side to get mosaics and then just fill the rest of the board with white pixels to avoid descoring a mosaic.

To hide all the messy wiring, of course.

Only the best wiring (is what electrical tells themselves lol)

The underside view at 1:22 should help. The side near the ground has 2 sets of wheels that both pull the pixel to the claw side. The side with the claw has 2 counter rotating sets wheels of wheels. The flaps push the pixel into the wheels on the counter rotating shaft and the pixel is forced up into the conveyor. This raises it up until the conveyor path runs out and the pixel falls into the pocket. There are some pictures here --> imgur.com/a/dX4Fzl1

The intake wheels are 3" AndyMark Compliant Wheels with the rims cut off and the transfer is 1" wide black flat urethane belt our team has had laying around.
