971 Presents: Renegade

Watch us compete in our first regional today through saturday at Davis!

a couple of specs (as seen on chief delphi)

All new sheetmetal chassis with just 3 major parts, weighing only 12 lbs.

Belt driven 6wd, 16/7 fps 2-speed transmission

Over-bumper pickup and belt driven ball path. ~1 second from a ball touching the intake to the top of the shooter

Intake doubles as bridge manipulator, capable of producing 120lbf at the end

Hopper (not pictured) for collecting from the inbounder station and other robots

Low bumpers to assist in pushing matches and prevent inadvertently driving over balls

Pneumatically powered drop-down skids lift up the front of the robot for crossing the bump

Low CoG, just 8" above the floor

2-position hood for fender shooting and long distance shots

Automatic ball indexing with banner sensors

Several custom circuits including a FitPC for faster vision processing and code updates, a custom gyro board for high-speed gyro feedback

Shooter wheel spinup from dead stop to shooting speed in 1/4 second with no overshoot

Catch us this week at Sacramento/Davis, and week five at SVR!
