Great work! The handoff and coral station intake is fantastic!

[@Team868]

Thank you so much! Your bot's algae intake directly from the reef is super cool!

[@FrogBotz]

Hello from FrogBotz​ and I like your Incredible work​. Proud to see our ​Carmel school​s' innovation and teamwork in action!

[@Team868]

Hello FrogBotz!! Great seeing you here! Good luck at your competitions this season! We're all rooting for you :)

[@FrogBotz]

@@Team868 Thank you so much! We really appreciate your support. Good luck to your team too!

[@samura1s4m]

Great work! I love the bicep climb!

[@Sam-fi7zj]

Genius deep climb, amazing coral handoff. Top notch.

[@jeremychurch1053]

using the cage as a counterweight for climb, genius.

[@DarkBraveStuff]

That climb!

[@RunnymedeRobotics]

This looks so good!

[@aarushpatil4096]

Cinema!

[@j3motorsports827]

What’s the gear ratio on that climb? We’re designing something similar

[@marcusford2855]

We used a 64:1 max planetary gearbox with a neo, and the winch is about 1 inch in diameter. This was enough to hold us off the ground for far more than the 3 seconds needed after the match.

Hi, I was wondering if you have released the instructions on how to build your robot yet? I'm really interested in learning more about it and would appreciate any information you can share. Thanks!

[@Team868]

Hello! You can find our CAD and several guides for how to go about building this robot on our ChiefDelphi thread! www.chiefdelphi.com/t/rusthounds-ri3d-2025/477760

[@Hoosier868]

First lol. But seriously this was super fun to be a part of

[@tamannakokan6647]

This is awesomeee!!!!!!

[@michaelthiery1454]

I saw you added weight for the climb, is it under the weight limit enough to do that?

[@Team868]

Yes! Without the added 25lb, we would have been at ~70-80lb including the battery.

[@benrboss]

What program are yall using to simulate and program autonomous

[@Team868]

Hello! We are using PathPlanner for the paths, and AdvantageScope to display 3D mechanism positions. AdvantageScope takes in the poses of each component over NetworkTables, it doesn't handle any of the simulation itself (so it also works when connected to a real robot). Everything else is handled in our robot code, which you can find here! github.com/frc868/2025-Ri3D

[@dallas802]

is there a cad moddle

[@Team868]

Our CAD is published on our ChiefDelphi thread!

[@JoshuaJoseph1710]

Maybe worth adding a flashing lights warning 😂. But overall, nice robot!

[@electrotal3878]

Like watching this makes me wonder what can be done to optimize a robot like that , if you guys have conclusions and ideas how to optimize a design like that it will be great, cause this idea is great in a lot of ways , if you guys could maybe check how much cycles can you complete in one match , including auto plus climb at the end , and scoring L4 first and completing all the slots there , then going l3 for example , it will be a great indicator for how good your robot js , plus doing stability checks when the robot is fully open , Thanks a lot , Tal , captain of team 1580 The Blue Monkeys from Israel:)

[@marcusford2855]

Hey! If we have time this week we can maybe test those things!
