JHAWK Vex High Stakes Reveal/RI2D: "Fever Dream"

This robot was built from 5/8-5/9. As the disclaimer, said, this is a silly goof vex robot so don't take it too seriously. If you have any questions, make sure to ask as I'll be doing an explanation video soon. Best of luck in High Stakes.

spinning the claw 💀💀💀

[@9MotorGang]

Spinning claw go brrrrrr

[@VexEd.15352B]

Babe wake up the meta just dropped.

[@9MotorGang]

💀

[@dviaa]

the saddest part is there will probably be at least one of these competing at moa

[@9MotorGang]

Just one?

[@scorpion_797]

My team had designed something similar its nice to see it works

[@Piplup7575]

bro is cooking fr fr

[@KenyonTess-zk3et]

This is literally every bot I get paired up with at tournaments. The drivers are like “yea we got a good bot “ and then pull out this💀💀💀 Fr what did I do to the partner selecting algorithm

[@9MotorGang]

You could end up partnered with something far worse than this. Early season this will do fine with a good driver and autons. Especially if most teams are ignoring the neutral goals.

[@KenyonTess-zk3et]

But just in general every year I feel like I’m paired with all the mid teams and then the good ones are paired with each other

[@BagelLord-xx5mk]

​@KenyonTess-zk3et you just gotta carry then, I beat my division's 1st seed twice while teamed with ranks 60 and lower

[@3818c_cookin]

how'd you make the goal tips (the bits on top)

[@9MotorGang]

3dp. Not sure how accurate it is compared to the real thing but it’s at least in the ballpark.

[@Giovanni_7282R]

did you print the yellow tops in TPU?

[@9MotorGang]

Yes.

[@3818c_cookin]

this is so gas

[@nik7805]

bring this to worlds its literally gonna win

[@1xskc351]

this is much better than whatever the hero bots are lol

[@scottschannel572]

this looks like the old bot i did in high school back in 2011

[@9MotorGang]

This was certainly inspired by some round up bots.

[@scottschannel572]

@@9MotorGang i can show you a video of our top 16 bot if you like. top 16 worlds

[@scottschannel572]

this is the whole team for that event kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGbNpWOOd8plpLM

[@JustChllin]

Actually I don’t think this breaks sg2, it says that the top isn’t considered a side and vertical expansion doesn’t count, as long as you don’t bring it forwards and backwards it’s legal I think

[@dogoplays7853]

what orientation was the bottom of the goal when printed

[@9MotorGang]

the goal was printed in 2 halves (green and white). The part where I put the super glue and they were connected was printed facing down.

[@dogoplays7853]

@@9MotorGang ok

[@Rios-ov3xi]

Okay, but like, could you grab and lift a goal, then spin it with the claw to descore?

[@9MotorGang]

What do you mean specifically? I only have 1 ring to test with.

[@skootle3871]

alot of people showed that if you have a goal upsidedown and you shake it agressively you can remove the rings. is it possible with your design?@@9MotorGang

[@altacount990]

@@9MotorGang i think if you pick up the goal and spin it fast enough the rings will come flying off of it

[@9MotorGang]

@@altacount990 I’ll test it out. Should have it in the explanation video.

the silly goofy disclaimer 💀

[@ore._]

still going to better than 30% of the bots at provs in alberta 💀

[@RoboticsEnthusiast-ex9kq]

holecounting rn

[@9MotorGang]

You do you.

[@sparkfrog777]

Bro what is your driver on to be able to control this monstrosity of a claw lmao

[@9MotorGang]

Milk. (I’ll probably automate the claw sometime before I tear the bot down and see if that makes it any better)

[@3818c_cookin]

what's the piston actuated flex wheel for

[@solopeyton7168]

Holding the mogos I believe

[@DaMedicalKraken]

bros clamp finna bend piston rods

[@WIS27301FWD]

Isn’t max height like 32”?

[@9MotorGang]

This is about 30 inches max height.

[@aklm660]

Vert expansion???

[@9MotorGang]

About 2 inches to spare.

[@BrokenAxles9]

just throw an automatic code for discoing then it's perfect

[@9MotorGang]

That's the plan

[@hermthewerm2026]

you're right i don't want to be affiliated with this

[@Baldtrests]

make it an x drive to make it even more silly

[@9MotorGang]

Should have done mecanum x drive.

[@paconi6527]

this is so ridiculous it might just work💀.(what ive done for the past 3 years)

Average Evan build quality

[@9MotorGang]

Drive is very clean. Chain bar is pretty good. The claw though, I resorted to my old ways.

[@crphic4493]

never cook again 💀

[@9MotorGang]

I may have burnt something.

[@sunnyd4789]

im gonna reach my tipping point 😭

[@9MotorGang]

I tried and it can’t quite pull a Tilden.

[@sunnyd4789]

@@9MotorGang this is unfortunate

[@Tankster825]

To I’m not sure if this is wrong but i think the robot might be illegal because in high stakes the rules are you can only extend something in your robot one way in this case your four bar lift extends up backwards and forwards. However i may be wrong 🤷‍♂️

[@user-iq4pt8ob6n]

Read the disclaimer at the start

[@Tankster825]

😳

[@Taran_K]

bro wtf 😭

[@goldminespotters8109]

Great job guys. I know it a silly vex bot but just wanna make it aware that it can be tipped easily. So in case if you guys are gonna make the real thing, just watch out for that. :))

[@9MotorGang]

The only time it would be prone to tipping is when it is fully extended and you aren’t going to just be driving around like that. Even then it’s harder than you would think. There is such little clearance between the drive and the ground that the crossbraces act as anti tips.

[@goldminespotters8109]

@@9MotorGang ah ok smart. also my team is trying to come up with a lift. Any idea how heavy your bot is?

[@PhoenixRobotics-jv6ic]

ohio claw💀💀

9mg is more washed than the clothes in my washing machjne

Real robot will be dropping end of summer.
