Excellent demonstration of the mechanics of the chain climb on a bot with a relatively centered CoG. This is very helpful for determining how a bot will interact here!
we pulled 2 all nighters. I woke up on saturday at 6:30 am, took a 1 hour nap at 6 pm, then stayed awake until 6am on monday. Once the CAD was done it was simply a matter of machining, wiring, and coding. thankfully that went really fast due to our originlabs partnership, and wiring/coding stayed up until 3 am Tuesday morning.
Thanks for this, Penn State Ri3D! I love the integration of the intake and amp scoring; coming at the amp from above while still getting under the chain seems like a big win. Can you go into a little more detail on why you had to abandon the trap? Do you think a robot with similar geometry to this construction could do it with more time?
Hello. Member of Penn State Ri3D. On our prototype climber, we simply couldn’t pull ourselves high enough to open the trap while staying under the 4ft extension limit. For more info, check out our day 1 recap video
Hey! I'm also a member of Penn State Ri3D. You should do the math to double check up, but like Logan said, with the way that we deposit the NOTES at a downward angle (like we do in the amp), the arm has to be really long in order to reach high enough to deposit in the trap, and it would be pushing up against that 48" high limit. Also the arm would have to have some sort of telescoping feature because if the arm is longer, you can't raise it into place between chain and the wall of the stage. Hopefully that makes sense.
Congrats! If you guys are competing at FRC Creshendo 2024 I’d love to know what the plan is for the next few weeks before comp? How will you use the time remaining?
Hello. Member of Penn State Ri3D. This is our first year as a club so we did not make it a plan to compete with the bot. Hopefully in the future we can make that a reality
hi. first of all, i wanted to say that the robot looks great, very good job. i wanted to ask you, if you are not planning to compete this year, are you planning to continue devoloping the robot? cause from my understanding you are taking this year as a learning year, which is great, but that also mean you have lots of time to make the robot better, maybe faster and able to do more tasks like shoot the notes or score on the stage, and i think it will be a very good chance to learn how to integrate several systems onto one robot @@loganpiercy3892
Hello, member of Penn State Ri3D. We unfortunately cannot. Those were both lower on our priority list. We prototyped both but 1) didn’t have the power or correct angle on our intake to shoot the note into the speaker 2) on our prototype climber, we couldn’t pull ourselves high enough onto the stage to reach the trap. The hooks on the climber would need to be extremely low on the bot which we were not able to achieve in 3 days
Hi a member of Penn State Ri3D here, our final design doesn't score in the speaker however we did make a prototype which can be seen in our prototype videos.
Hi, one of the people from said prototype group here. If you removed the arm hard stop and geared the intake less, it could most likely tilt back and score in the speaker
Yeah we primarily focused on scoring in the amp. With a couple modifications and improvements, shooting in the speaker is definitely possible with this design
Additionally we also realized that the majority of the teams would be trying to score in the Speaker, especially considering the kit bot uses a shooter. So doing competition, you’ll be able to have 2 shooting bots and 1 amp bot!
an additional reason was that since the kit bot and other Ri3D teams demonstrated the speaker well, we wanted to stand out and show a good efficient design for the amp
We opted to not focus on that part of the game as it was low on our prioritiy list. We were aware that the majority of teams will focus on the speaker putting us in an optimal supportive role.

Whoever made this video must be a very handsome and talented young man
Yeah, I bet he also would say those things in comments to the videos he made.
Go State! You guys are the best and the brightest!
Amazing robot, I and the Hazmats wish you guys the best this season
The people who cadded this robot must be amazing! it is simply beautiful.
Congrats from Bison Robotics RI3D, your bot looks and works great.
Same to you guys! Your robot looks great as well!
7c9 😮o8😮
This looks awesome! Glad the snow didn't slow you down

Prioritizing amp is honestly the play. My team wants to do only speaker.
Dope cinematography
Awesome robot, 2523 wishes you well!
As an FRC member, HOW ARE YOU GUYS DONE ALREADY?!
also it looks great :)

Boston Dynamics has some hefty competition 😮💨

Nice work! what ratio is your climber ?
Thank you! Our climber is geared 100:1 with spool diameter of 3.5 in
how does y'alls pivot point work?
Wait can you guys do the speaker or the trap???

@@loganpiercy3892 nice work on your robot though
Do you have public CAD files?
We’ll be releasing a technical document within the week!
The CAD is finalized! cad.onshape.com/documents/f4e476678383300c2035ef0c/w/385e10456b0612cb45c9b505/e/ca532d20f9b2a4da6a8b53e6

@@aristeinfeld3687 ok just wondering
No speaker scoring?
It seems like they might be more of a supportive bot, which I think is a great strategy this year
Yeah we primarily focused on scoring in the amp. With a couple modifications and improvements, shooting in the speaker is definitely possible with this design

Yall didnt score in the speaker a single time bruh

@@PennStateRi3D makes sense if you put it like that
