1511 ROBOTS

We have been involved in FIRST Robotics since the 2005 Competition. Here is some information our three robots.

2007 A-rack-naphobia

Plays the Game Rack & Roll

A-rack-naphobia was designed to be a fast and manueverable robot that can score tubes on all three rungs, and fairly easily remove tubes from all three rungs. The drivetrain is a six wheel drivetrain, with center traction wheels from IFI and four surrounding omni-wheels. Using the banebots transmissions and two small CIM motors per side, the robot was fast but had a lot of torque as well. The robot was student designed entirely in CAD before it was built, with many of the parts being manufactured at Harris. The robot was originally designed with a turret to manuever the arm. The arm has an upper joint and a wrist to manipulate the tubes. The Gripper was made out of driveway markers and pool noodles to make it as light as possible. The robot is 5' tall and weighs just under 110lbs.

2006 ROFLbot

Plays the Game Aim High

ROFLbot was designed to collect foam balls from the human player or its starting configuration and shoot the balls into a goal that was 8 feet in the air. The robot was designed to be fast and manueverable and have the ability to climb a 30 degree inclined diamond plate ramp.  The drivetrain used four small CIM motors with the kit transmissions, four omini wheels and two custom designed center traction wheels made from ABS plastic.  The shooter was a dual wheel shooter, using two large CIM motors to drive wheelchair wheels locked on spinning axels.  The spin speed was calibrated using optical sensors on the axels.
