Team 118 Robonauts 2018

Team 118's robot for the 2018 FIRST Robotics Competition, Power Up

[@noshbrooks]

This may be the most "118" robot 118 has ever built. Overcomplicated but beautifully executed.

[@Brandon-qd2lb]

Noah Brooks yet can’t make it to Einstein lmao!!

[@drizzleandpour7819]

@@Brandon-qd2lb that's so mean

[@sidpr]

On one hand, this is an extremely well made reveal with a really promising robot to match. On the other hand is lotion.

No tissues? Are we in the 1800s?

[@Mastblood]

Sid Prabhakaran it’s truly amazing what a team of professional engineers can build in a students game......

[@camh3448]

These videos are much more enjoyable now that I'm in college and don't have to worry about getting absolutely decimated by this bot

[@arpankumar7124]

Lol!!

[@devengyure7595]

Cameron Humphreys agreed

[@NotARealNova]

I still gotta worry lmao

[@ashlampton5586]

Cameron Humphreys Sadly, I’m a senior and our bot this year is probably gonna be trash. It’s been enjoyable though.

[@stellasalamander3572]

The fact that you say probably is concerning, are you planning on building it at competition?

[@stephenfarrington9917]

My tax dollars at work, destroying my own kids in competition.

[@samalden5197]

Jesus these kids have recourses; multiple robots each year, a fully functional field, a huge workspace. Don't get me wrong, the robot is freaking amazing and seems like it can perform perfectly in FRC. I guess I'm just jealous, but best of luck in the competitions to come.

[@SamsherSidhu]

I don't know how the team does it, but every time I see a Robonauts reveal video I stand up and applaud at the end. Every time. It makes you want to dance, build, and geek out all at the same time! Fantastic video and robot this year 118!

[@abhishekpatil3086]

Dude Same!

Here’s the secret (NASA Engineers)

[@perrybotics]

@@zacharyfisher3019 or... robonauts is like a pro football team, picking players that are specialized from plethora of Schools, of course they're going to be good.

[@cobalt789]

Justin, you outdid yourself on this one. Not only is this an impressive new bot, I think the video choreography and editing makes this my favorite reveal of all time (bumping 118 2013 to #2). What an incredible way to show off an awesome machine.

[@erickline6619]

I have literally been sitting here all day refreshing to see this! Love from Robototes, 2412!

[@ttsu5890]

The season's over why am I still watching this

[@aidenbagshaw5573]

Because it's ****ing awesome.

[@luigi29371]

I want to cry and cheer at the same time

[@amandaenderson8622]

Glad to see another amazing bot from you guys! (1721, NH)

[@lutherwilmot9163]

This is what happens when you know the cheat codes to FIRST Power Up, you unlock the secret Illusion robot

[@frankschaefer8890]

nope Lockdown is op not this bot.

[@Brandon-qd2lb]

They didn't find that code to Einstein though??

[@coulombicdistortion1814]

So stoked to be playing with you guys on Newton at Houston this year. Team 3140

[@ethantocco9695]

NASA does it again

[@taylorherndon6643]

Yes, officer, this is the one who is about to steal all of the first place spots... Nice job 118, beautiful robot!

[@abhishekpatil3086]

OMG, I love this team so much, so glad I got to be part of it last year. My favourite​ part of this video has to be that sassy throw that illusion does at 0:28 to 0:31

[@jonathanschladetzky4754]

I HAVE BEEN WAITING SINCE 8:30 PACIFIC TIME ON BAG DAY FOR THIS

[@SuperScaredyCat]

dude same XD

[@jaymarshall6220]

That’s incredible! I already have butterflies about competition.

[@laythjuma2521]

Those poly-carb gears though 👌 over on 1519 we’ve been worried that we might be one of the few teams to have a separate intake/release mech, very comforting to see one working well.

[@joseantonio6637]

Layth Juma Could you please elaborate on how those are used in the bot please? Love from 6200

[@deviyou0107]

Looking forward to see next season's robot

[@Babz67SS]

AMAZING ! Great job. Catchy tune ♥

[@williamdaniels512]

THAT is a sick robot and I'm glad we dont have to compete with you (in the regional anyway)

[@aidenbagshaw5573]

During quals, you would end up on their alliance about as often as you would be against them, so I'd actually want to be in the same regional as them. Of course, during alliance selection, you just have to pray.

[@zeke6461]

Never fail to impress. Amazing work and good luck from BERT 4750

[@averylipscomb3496]

It looks incredible

[@ashlampton5586]

Great concept design and execution! Are you guys going to the comp in Tennessee this year?

[@FaeBuczek]

ashlyn lampton if you watch the last few seconds of the video you can see the three competitions they're going to, and most likely also going to Champs.

[@GreyPhantomDelta]

Looks amazing as always! ~5813

[@luisserranolaguna1610]

i wonder how they counter balanced that arm

[@dylansamples]

Good luck this season from team 1817, sorry about Hub City last year

[@JLPicard1648]

Dylan Samples don't apologise for winning lol

[@afrinbar]

Any chance to get some cad photos or files? If not I'd like to know how you prevented your arm from moving while you weren't giving power to the motors? My team used a helical transmission but I'm inters in finding other ways to do so

[@JLPicard1648]

We post our CAD to our website: ccisdrobonauts.org . The arm has a passive spring system that changes tension based on the angle

[@jackhaehl2033]

When this Robot's design is my FTC design precisely, and my mentors laughed when I said we should just build a bigger version of that bot for FRC this year

[@jasongrabowski920]

I am not trying to spark a controversy or anything about your robot. However wouldn't 0:29 be considered "launching a cube"? and if that's the case wouldn't you have to be in contact with the fence that surrounds the switch?

[@GmanEnder]

There was an update on the rules

[@jasongrabowski920]

Oh, OK just wanting to make sure because it would suck to spend 6 weeks designing something and then have it go to waste.

[@abhidoesthings5348]

How do you guys consistently make robots this good? What's your normal build season schedule(by week)(like, what do you get done by each week) My team isn't that organized.

[@Ann-ke1jd]

to anyone from team 6969 who sees this: at least we tried

[@PennRobotics]

The only part of having two Worlds competitions is those at Detroit never get to see teams like 118.

[@frankschaefer8890]

we have other teams though.

Great job you guys it looks great hope you will do just as well

[@21area21]

Ridlaaaay. Thanks!!!

[@troy4393]

Ruckus got hit right in the Simon & Garfunkel.

[@ayushgun]

What's the best language to use for FRC Programming? C++?

[@HoshinoMirai]

254 uses Java. 118 uses C++. If you know the algorithms well, there should be little difference.

[@aidenbagshaw5573]

I've seen more online documentation for Java, but both should serve you well. DISCLAIMER: I have a slight Java bias, and may be wrong about the documentation thing.

[@jack-ux6wn]

NASA engineers indeed

[@simonbarbarasch7169]

simple is the last word I'd use to describe this robot. no hate, just not simple

[@ganliu7295]

We spent almost all of the build season just making, testing, and breaking those forks. There's 8+ different broken forks sitting in a cabinet before we got it working how we liked

[@Ubrness]

Simple for what it does.

[@chadkrause6574]

Gan Gan Gan Gan Gan Gan Gan Gan Gan Gan Gan Gan it’s great. I would’ve made them out of stainless steel but your robot looks heavy so it might’ve been a problem. Congrats on the banner!

[@omjxr5461]

where's the mobile goal lift?

[@abhishekpatil3086]

You guys have to tell me what song this is, I love it goes so well with the robot

[@abhishekpatil3086]

Just Shazam'd it Mr Roboto by Rapture Ruckus

does this team have a website to read more about or contact them ? if yes please contact me here or private

[@JLPicard1648]

Is it just me or is it weird there was a Chuck e Cheese commercial on this video?

[@sgilbert2k5]

I do believe this breaks R24 on end game.

[@JLPicard1648]

In the Q&A (frc-qa.firstinspires.org/onepage.html, see Q4 and Q39) they said that if the robot were to be put on level ground and still comply with the bumper rules it's okay. If the robot is put on level ground the tines/partner climb ramp does/do move back up.

[@wkinne1]

looks heavy

[@lukewaltman6327]

Welp i guess we already found a winner😭

[@EricMoranFilms]

Fair point. At worlds they were the team to beat when my team went. But nevertheless 118 is still pretty OP

[@JLPicard1648]

No, OP is 2056

[@ankithkodali6031]

EricMoranFilms I agree 118 is definitely one of the most dominant teams in frc history. Another championship win might make them third or second on my list of best in frc

[@joelschoenberg4655]

118 is the Houston Rockets of FRC

[@TexanMonkey]

7/10, not very enLightening

[@jsridley]

We need to you to come back and do lights for us Joseph!

[@TexanMonkey]

I'm currently rewriting all of the code from scratch to make it more user-friendly, but I wouldn't mind fixing up some of the old robots like Apex's lights and sharing the new code. I didn't get the new version finished in time for my current team 2848, it's still in a UML planning phase, but a working version should be finished before summer starts.
