Love the x drive! We were contemplating it but seeing you at MOA has definitely convinced us!

Sick bot, and an incredible performance at moa!

Awesome design! Do you have any cad file or other photos of this robot anywhere?

I got to play with this bot today, so cool! How long did it take.

x drive is literally so op

is it rly or are people memeing

Would you be able to do a video explaining your design of the string launchers? Cool robot btw

[@austinantor634]

For sure, it will be out in a couple of days

[@cooperredfern7492]

What are the strings for? Its my first year doing vex robotics and I figured I could look at others builds to see what some people have already came up with. Thanks

[@austinantor634]

The string is for expansion to cover as many tiles as possible

[@christinadavenport674]

hey where did you get the piston string launchers, and piston indexer?

[@austinantor634]

The launchers were a spin off of the punchers from turning point. As for the piston indexer that was our own design.

[@lavangiyadava6926]

how did you create the code for strafing? we also have an x drive but we would like it to strafe rather than rotate. thank you!

[@austinantor634]

It’s the same movement for going forward you just need to figure out which motor needs to rotate which direction to do so. Vex forums have some great examples of how to code it.

[@ultramelon723]

If you were to spin the left and right wheels to go forward, then you would spin the front and back wheels to strafe

[@wanzhenli850]

How did you guys push the disk into the flywheel? And also how did you do the endgame string strategy?

[@PARobotics]

pneumatics is an easy way to launch the string at the end, if you want to sacrifice a little air pressure lol

[@noahfong9058]

Isn't there a cap to how many motors and pistons you can use? If I remember, it was 8 motors and 2 pistons no?

[@austinantor634]

The limit for pistons is as many as you want it’s the reservoir that are limited to 2

[@aspenmcmahon8661]

What code do you use for you x drive?

[@ghostintheknl583]

Why do so many teams have rubber bands on their motors? I heard its for switching out hot motors but I can't really wrap my head around how that would be done?

[@kentohosono7535]

instead of using 4 screws we use rubber band to connect top cover with gearbox and motor part. when motor gets hot just replace the motor part while top cover is still attached to chasis

[@ghostintheknl583]

@@kentohosono7535 Oh so you just replace the gear cartridge?

[@bradonnewcomb960]

@@ghostintheknl583 No the actual motor gets swapped and the cartrige and mounting plate stay on the robot.

[@crazyfishstudios4110]

Hot swap motors

[@ashtonharrell3775]

the motor cap stays on with the cartridge in it, and u change the housing that would normally be screwed onto the cap

[@bravecak3815]

SWEATS!

[@liemdonahue1715]

How do so many teams get there flywheel to shoot straight. Mind always pulls hard right

[@Roger-65]

So I might have a major fix for it but it’s not perfect take about 5 really long screws and put them as far apart from the shooter you wants for the squish the on top of the screws stew a star nut all the way down to the bottom on every single one then take spacer and slide them on all of the screws the amount of spacer you put on is optional then put lock nuts on the top but make sure the spacer are able to spin once you put them on and then your done hope this helps😁

[@sushants.3023]

This is our first year at vex, and we were having trouble with the flywheel. Basically, we were able to intake the discs, but when we shot them, the discs only went a very small distance. Our rpm of the motors seems pretty solid, so I am confused on what the problem could be. Any ideas/suggestions? Thank you!

[@austinantor634]

what is the gear ratio of the flywheel this will help me help you.

[@sushants.3023]

@@austinantor634 I'm not sure about the geear ratio as I forgot that, but I am 100% sure about the speed. Our flywheel consists of 2 motors, 3000 rpm. Edit: To elaborate more, we have 2 motors, each having a shaft that goes through 2 60-tooth gears. Those 2 gears work together to spin a third, 12-tooth gear, which is what spins the flywheel. Sorry for not answering your question though.

[@austinantor634]

I believe I now your issues. The issue is compression between the flywheel and the wall. So when a disc hits the wall and the wheel the disc will get compressed making it (shoot far with more compression) or (close with no compression)

[@sushants.3023]

@@austinantor634 We actually found out the problem and it turns out you were correct!! Thank you so much for your time and help!! :)))
