Honestly your Ri3D is the most efficient I have seen this year. Great robot!

[@avkest]

This is amazing, especially in just 3 days! Most frc teams would be really happy to get this result after an entire build season. Good on you guys 🔥

[@abdullahibrahim6198]

This is revolutionary, what an absolute beast you guys have created!

[@lamontcranston1163]

Simply amazing work for only three days. Excellent work, you guys.

[@yuxuanhe9660]

This is literally the best design ever!

[@cosmiclightning4723]

certified banger

[@wujubladesman]

very nice robot (bonus climbing :D)

[@BenjaminRiemer-]

The climber brace is ingenious im definitely taking this idea and making better.

[@labradoodlesilver3756]

very elegant

[@shorty8065]

If the buddy climb ability actually works with a 150 pound robot Ill loose my mind

[@maxgrey3694]

Would be awesome to see, but a buddy climb like this is really just to help out base bots

[@henryp123]

This is amazing! How do you guys think the shooting mechanism would work if the vertical gray wheels were swapped with horizontal flywheels? Did you do any testing that could show higher reliability or distance?

[@UnqualifiedQuokkasRi3D]

Due to the time limit, we basically built the top and bottom roller shooter, it worked well, so we ran with it. We didn't do much testing with horizontal flywheels, one or two tests, but they weren't anywhere close to the effectiveness of the top and bottom shooter. Looking back on it, this was because we didn't compress the game piece enough to increase the contact time. Having the top and bottom flywheels also meant that the construction of the intake/shooter mechanism was extremely simple as it only requires 2 side plates to be manufactured.

[@henryp123]

@@UnqualifiedQuokkasRi3D Okay, that makes a ton of sense. My team really loved you guys design and are using it as the basis of our robot (we're gonna make further developments, of course). We will probably do some testing with horizontal flywheels and rollers with different compressions. Thank you so much for posting your designs and helping teams around the world! -Team 404

[@arrowsmscience9758]

Awesome robot!! Great design simplistic yet elegant and definitely practical. what are the dimensions of your robot? And what gear reduction did you use to move the arm? Are you using an bore through encoder to know where your arm is in auto?

[@UnqualifiedQuokkasRi3D]

Thank you! I believe the KoP chassis is 28x31" with it being wider than it is long. The arm uses 2 mini CIMs each with a 50:1 (10:1 and 5:1) Versaplanetary gearbox, and a 5:1 sprocket reduction, for a total of a 250:1 reduction. We are using a REV through bore encoder to measure the angle of the arm in both auto and teleop.

[@wyldc4t316]

How many times have the drive team got bored and sniped someone across the shop with a note? cus our team was doing that to anyone caught bludging

[@maxwell4444]

Congratulations I would be super proud!! I gotta ask though. What’s your plan for the next 7 or so weeks until the competition?

[@user-jb8yv]

this is not an actual frc team but a group of people participating in RI3D (robot in three days), where groups of highly qualified people rush a robot in 3 days to provide aid to actual FRC teams

[@natereid9490]

Whats the length on the arms from their connection to the gears to their connection with the shooter?

[@eren.keskin]

Congratulations, it's a very good robot. What is the reducer ratio?

[@ThesaurusDinosaurus]

Was that just the chain adjusting or was that something on the robot snapping at 2:38?

[@georgeskyrme545]

Just the chain jumping

[@londonhonourfrc3536]

What kind of shooter wheels are those?

[@stroodle7469]

The small green ones are 2 inch compliant wheels from AndyMark. As for the shooter wheels, I’m 90% sure they’re the 4 inch dia colsons, unsure what the tread width is however (Maybe 1.5 inch from memory)

[@londonhonourfrc3536]

@@stroodle7469 thank you! I'm curious what the max distance this style can do. Looks awesome!

[@sellersja07]

Why did you guys label the robot as “unqualified”???
