FRC Minibot 2011

Team 263, Sachem Robotics' Prototype and deployment


The new bot has two motors, the second is attached to the smaller wheel. Since it has a 2:1 gear ratio, the smaller wheel goes twice the speed.

The last trial runs were:

2.9 - 3.1 range

• There are no magnets other then the ones inside the motors :D
• There is ghetto wiring currently installed on the bot and there has not been any programming set on the controller yet.
• When the power is manually cut at the top of the pole, it slowly goes back down the pole.
• It is very picky of it's center of gravity. The bot will fall off the pole if a wheel is too far in.
• The wheels were shaved down to the shape of the pole, as well as adding grip to it.

Here is a video of early stages of deployment
