1:19 epic sync, also a really thought out robot, it can do everything the game calls from putting rings on the neutral platforms and alliance platforms, forgot what they're called, sabotaging other robots, and balancing. Great job!
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.
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
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 😉
This is absolutely stunning! Does it all fit within the sizing requirements? My team has struggled loads with keeping it complex but simple enough to keep within the size requirements. Wish you the best of luck!
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?
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.
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: ua-cam.com/video/SeiWYwCN6hY/v-deo.html
@@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.
@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.
Please help! My Vex EDR robot after connecting the control unit to the computer, the robot is reapeating the old program, moreover, it is impossible to reset this program. Help!
The front mobile goal intake is a sideways four bar like a wider version of In the Zone mobile goal intakes. Check out this video tomorrow for an explanation of the mobile goal intakes: ua-cam.com/video/SguKghmAjHA/v-deo.html
Hey guys at Norcal, we are in ms and our robotics season started a month ago. We have the arm built like u have in the vid but what is the piece you guys used for the plunger. I looked at the close up vid and was still pretty unsure about it. Is it plastic or plexiglass or something else? Can you also maybe comment the link for that piece on this comment? That would help a lot guys. Tahnks alot.
I’m still calling that 1469A style robots will be meta. This style will be like the Dr4b tube bots in TT. They worked but where not fast enough to keep up with trays.

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.
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
Imagine making a meta defining bot and all anyone talks about in the comments is the fucking music
If there's nothing bad to say about the robot then talk about the one bad thing
But it’s not a meta yet it will struggle with obtaining rings in a tournament and keeping rings on the top pole is even harder
@@MactarGueye one ring st a time is extremely inefficient and the robot can't stack goals on the platform without having to drive up there.
This didnt age well

So uh... what's the meaning of all the names at 2:40? (it only shows up for a fraction of a second, so it's kinda hard to catch)

Wow super cool ideas
how much rpm is the mogo intake?
The mogo intake uses 100 RPM (red cartridge).
hey this is a great design and i am wondering if you guys mind me posting this video to some Chinese Video Sites(with citation of course).

The robot is in size - it fits in 18x18x18.
I was wondering, what is the lift design called?
It's called a Dylon Bar (just kidding)
Your telling me my team has to go up against this
Just take the tall goal from them
I thought you could only have possession of one of the goals. It said that in the rule book.
#readthemanual
lol
hoarding is different than possession
you can only have one while in one of the corners of the field lol
you could have all 7 if you were crazy enough and weren't in any of the sides
Destroyed my chassis cuz of this :)
