FRC 7028 Binary Battalion 2023

[@uberbob8389]

I thought I might see a couple of the top teams like 1323 and 254 do something like this, definitely didn't think I would see a team do it mid build season though, impressive. It will be interesting to see what cool things other teams come up with, I'd imagine launching them must be the quickest way?

[@7028robotics]

Thank you! We think that shooting will score faster than the quickest arms. It is the pickup that we need to master now...

[@ianpyles1877]

This is the FRC EQUIVALENT of a water bottle flip very creative

[@mrnoobdood]

I’m blown away by the fact that you guys are able to throw cones with that accuracy!

[@markmascadri1342]

This is very promising at this stage! Now I can't wait to see a robot shooting game pieces like this, but on a fully extended arm over the platform.

[@personman8492]

i can taste the programers blood sweat and tears

[@lucastornado9496]

😂

[@rufusmainwaring3513]

I thought the falcons on the intake were totally overkill until I saw what they were doing😄

[@andrewrudlang2785]

Impressive work!

[@7028robotics]

Thank you!

[@first-5826]

Wow! This is so cool. We love the idea of the shooter

[@Supdograinbarff]

Didn't think I would see a working cone shooter

[@7028robotics]

Neither did half of our team two weeks ago!

[@Teslaman86]

@@7028robotics I bet.

[@ethanmerrill4560]

wow, just wow, never thought I would see this, especially with this amount of consistency.

[@kevinhertelt7116]

Wohoo I got them!! Thanks so much

[@mahirohikichi8857]

This is super cool!! Are you using the light sensor to detect the distance from the pole and shooting it autonomously?

[@7028robotics]

Yes, a Limelight camera. The driver turns to the pole and just holds a button.

[@Teslaman86]

It works great when the limelight is setup correctly, and I hope you guys do great in the frc competitions.

[@steadfastwolf2159]

I can taste the effort from here

[@steadfastwolf2159]

Here was purposely left undefined

[@83n65]

Nice, you guys always make sleek bots. Hopefully, one of our comps overlaps so I can see your bot in person. Edit: I will see you at great northern

[@Destringe]

Oh my God this is cool asf

[@Teamrembrandts]

Really cool concept your team is working on, would you be willing to post the CAD publicly? We would be interested in comparing the dimensions of your claw. Thanks!

[@conorstewart2214]

It is a competition so I would imagine not. If they posted it publicly then people could copy it.

[@mattress375]

i was hoping the team im on could do something like this, as its a great concept that doesnt take as long as an arm based cone placer as long as it can be done reliably

[@vettel5a100]

Wow, this is great! Can't believe it's this accurate! Quick question: How much does the full "arm" weigh?

[@DiamondTurtleGamer]

I won’t lie, I didn’t expect this to be a concept this year. Guess I wasn’t thinking about the use cases of vision enough.

[@reedgrenager6121]

You can just do that 😭

[@keckothedragon]

You can only do it in your community (and maybe loading zone?) iirc

[@austinsus13194A]

flywheel next

[@UgandaBasement]

Cool concept tho

[@LR-qi9rj]

are you guys planning on speeding up the elevator at some point?

[@7028robotics]

Yes. This is our practice robot and we are making a competition one right now. Videos on the new robot should be out soon.

[@jesusretes1449]

How said this isn't a shooting game

[@gdog4306]

I mean what will happen teams will play defense to stop this from happening

[@aidannovak1747]

Can it place cubes?

[@7028robotics]

It cannot "place" cubes... It will shoot them :)

[@keckothedragon]

@@7028robotics Do they stay on the platforms? I imagine getting them to stay would be more difficult than the cones on the poles

[@7028robotics]

@@keckothedragon Yeah they pretty much stay put. They never very little energy to get the the top and mid platforms.

[@AaronVanLoo]

its just basketball but with cones

[@ethanateryt]

This is cool and all, but it's gonna be rare to see a cone standing up. If an opponent sees what your bot can do, then they can just knock over the cones.
