We proudly present our robot in 3 days for VEX Tipping Point. Hope you enjoy!
Massive thanks to Dublin Robotics Club for hosting this RI3D from July 2 to July 5!
www.dublinroboticsclub.com
/ dublinrobotics
Our robot is capable of holding two mobile goals (mogos) at once and internally scoring rings on any kind of goal (alliance goal, short neutral goal, and tall neutral goal). Best of luck to all teams competing in VEX Tipping Point!

There's no way this design does good in game. It's gonna take way too long to pick up the ringles. But the time they've loaded up all their arm all the goals are likely already on the platform

@davidleeper2929 3 жыл бұрын

It's been 4 weeks. I cannot say that this will be the meta, but my gosh it's so impressive! We did a very similar design for the lift with our own version of the pnuematic spear. The 4 bar took 2 motors to lift because we put a forklift on the back for alliance goals. One motor for the chain bar and 257 rpm drive meant that we needed to pull in the neutral goal and spin it with one motor. We did this with a transmission and were very proud that it was designed to do everything you guys did plus speed and lifting goals onto platform. HOWEVER. We abandoned this design as it tended to be slow and bulky. We also deemed that the speed tradeoff was not worth being able to score on neutral goals. (High risk, less high reward) Also that spear requires aiming, and has too many motions per ring. Great job, but I'm not sure we will see this design too often until very late season when someone perfects it.

Exactly what I was thinking would be the meta, I have been in the process of making a cad of a robot that is very similar in design to this. Honestly never thought of your way to rotate the goals though, that was extremely clever. I thought of having some platform the goals stood on that rotated but what you did is much more simple and simple is almost always better. Amazing job!!

@@yashaswikulshreshtha1588 Programming was fairly straightforward since we didn't consider autonomous programming for this RI3D. As for robot design, we went into the RI3D with a solid plan. We modified our design along the way as unforeseen constraints presented themselves, but for the most part, we just focused on executing our vision during the 72 hours. Properly scoping projects is as much art as skill 😉

Super cool robot and basically the meta! Just a question on how the ring intake works

@mateoheitner 3 жыл бұрын

Also 1 motor double mogo lift?!? How?!?

@norcalvex 3 жыл бұрын

The ring intake is a strip of polycarb that has been bent to hook under rings. When the piston actuates, the polycarb flexes which allows the rings to slide off. See here for more details: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/icuZiryoqLSamI0.html

@norcalvex 3 жыл бұрын

@@mateoheitner The front mogo intake is directly driven in both directions. The back mogo intake is a ramp with a one-time clamp mechanism that activates the first time the front mogo intake moves outwards.

@norcalvex 3 жыл бұрын

@Brian Wu Correct! That back mogo intake is intended to hold a neutral goal. Since controlling neutral goals is an important part of this year's game, we reasoned that once we pick up a neutral goal, it's in our best interest to never release it.

@dominicyore8790 3 жыл бұрын

unique lift choice! But why not just a dr4b + another 4 bar or chainbar like itz? Wouldn't it be *a lot* easier to drive? 2nd thing, did they update the rules regarding pneumatics? i thought 6 motors + pistons?

@norcalvex 3 жыл бұрын

The lift choice was definitely partially informed by the constraints of the RI3D. We felt that this lift combination was simpler to build in the time allotted and had useful properties we could exploit to score rings on both the front and back mobile goals. Certainly, a RD4B could be easier to drive and is a viable option for VEX Tipping Point; we expect to see many RD4Bs throughout the season! (I will note that with good programming and aligner mechanisms, any tuned robot can be competitive 🙂) With regard to pneumatics, yes, the rules have been updated. The VEX Tipping Point game manual notes in that robots may use 8 motors and pneumatics.

@lakshyawahi9482 3 жыл бұрын

It was good but I would add some other things. Here is some hopefully helpful feedback from my side to try and improve your robot upon: 1. The claw/hydraulic press that you use to grab rings seems unreliable and risky. The rings could just fall off. 2. The robot is just massive, so maybe try decreasing the size (just feels a little to big for good) 3. Change the damn music.

@MactarGueye 3 жыл бұрын

The first two concerns don't make sense because the pneumatic system works very well and the second doesn't matter as long as it fits in the restraints. It almost needs to be that big to fit two mobile goals which is a big part of this games scoring. However for the third i agree
