FLL Hydro Dynamics | SWARM | Pump - Passive Attachment

[@markmascadri1342]

WOW! Your videos are absolutely incredible and inspiring. Please make more! Can you explain a little bit how you develop these and how they work. I figured it out and had to explain it to my students but it would be more powerful coming directly from you.

mark mascadri - well, the first step in the process is to prioritize missions. Pick the ones that are either worth lots of points, or are easy to do. Then, group these missions in runs. Organize your multi-mission runs to be as efficient and reliable as possible. Look for lines and walls to follow or stop at. Then build attachments that can complete your multiple missions as reliably and efficiently as possible. Finally, program your runs. Through this process, you will have to revise, make changes, brainstorm, troubleshoot.

In this attachment, all I use are slopes. I use a slope of approximately 45 degrees to push the pump addition into the correct position. I also use a 30 degree slope or so to push the yellow lever to release the water. Motors are valuable, and I am always looking for ways to save them to complete harder missions.

[@theclueless11212]

I am already revising this attachment. I have posted another video of the same attachment, but using pneumatics to push the pump addition into place. I realized that this solution was pretty unreliable, so I brainstormed a new way to do it.

wow it looks alot more complex than that. I thought the gears and chain may be used to pull the pump in. Does the chain and slider do something else then? Yes I agree 100% about conserving motors. Are you planning on self propelling this attachment? We are currently working on a passive solution to the fountain.

[@theclueless11212]

mark mascadri - the gears don't do anything. They actually move the pusher of the yellow lever out of the way, but it is not needed, and I have removed it. The robot drives the attachment. It fits inside. Good luck with the fountain, I havn't found a way to do it passively yet

You are so Good Make more videos with hydro dinamics

[@theclueless11212]

robert ionescu - thanks! I will. Just gimme some time to innovate!

If your team is unofficial how did you get the ma and props?

[@theclueless11212]

Yong Run - by registering a team, you don't have to compete. I am registered as the SWARM.

[@tenki6106]

are you entering hydro dynamics we are

[@theclueless11212]

I am not competing in fll this year, I just have the missions and is doing them for fun. Good luck with your robot!

[@davidsaldanamedina2324]

Yo dude this is great, what is the name of your team? :P

[@theclueless11212]

David Saldaña Medina - my team only consists of me, and I am not competing.

[@theclueless11212]

Miguel Martinez - I am doing FTC, and I don't have time to do fll as well. I can do robot game just fine, but project and corevalues and gathering a team is more than I can do. Unfortunately, for the faucet attachment, I don't have building instructions for. Copying directly is not something you should be practicing in fll. Exercise your creativity. Feel free to use the same concept, but don't copy paste.

First!

[@theclueless11212]

HAL-9000 Robotics - wow! Even before me!

[@HAL9000Robotics]

Got lucky.
