Hi guys, we're using PowerPlay as a sort of offseason training and I had two questions about your build. 1. The chains on the middle part of the arm. How long? 2. How does the claw stay parallel?? Thanks Liberty Robotics 23891

Dang, I wish I had a school team with a coach. I’m in a rookie team of 5, all our parents paid for it, but we have no robotics experience and our robot isn’t very innovative like these ones. Our robot is pretty generic and we don’t really have any coach to help us out

No matter how your season goes, I want you to know that teams like yours are what gives First Tech Challenge soul. Without teams like yours, all we would be is rich highschools and communities competing. It's what makes FIRST such a cool experience. No matter the difference, you're all competing for the same reasons (hopefully)

The joke was that because it was in the first 30 hours of the season, it would likely be a world record, at least temporarily.

@ftcgearheads9 ай бұрын
The lifter arm is turned by a servo, and then there is a low-rpm motor that pulls a string connected to the hook.

@@a1ien970 Simple explanation: think of a bunch of surgical tubing wrapped rightly around a bar on the robot, pulling on a hook, but we put a pin through the hook so it can't move yet. Then we place the hook onto the bar, then release then pin, and the surgical tubing pulls the robot upwards. Lots of possibilities

Both segments have one 19.2:1 motor with a 6:1 gear ratio. We were only running them at 0.5 power.
