Amazing video! I can never wait till you guys upload another video!

Its crazy that 7th in the world is only 3rd in Indiana.

Intake reveal?

Impressive as all ways

[@timh4781]

Outstanding job, but how does your piston have enough power to release the expansion? When I try to power it with a piston it hasn’t enough power

[@fluffydeath2365]

make sure your piston is acting directly perpendicular to the force of the rubber bands, and make sure it has no pressure trying to bend it

[@robokauz]

well its all about the leverage the bar has on the standoffs we have never had any problem with the single cylinder so im not sure what could be going wrong.

[@timh4781]

Hi robokauz, how does your indexer push the disc into the flywheel? Im making a flex wheel under the disc stacking area but im having some trouble. Any tips?

Any reason for driving on hold or brake instead of coast?

[@robokauz]

its easier to line up for shots without it drifting

Awesome robot! I have to wait for my flywheel to spin back up again, I was wondering how you can shoot the 3 so fast?

[@robokauz]

you have to add weight to your flywheel....it gives it better recovery time

[@christianalessandri5556]

@@robokauz You don’t use any PID for flywheel speed regulation?

[@robokauz]

Your robot is so clean. Out of curiosity what is your drive base RPM?

600 rpm

Do you use PID of not what do you use?

[@robokauz]

PID for the flywheel, pure pursuit for the drive

[@BasicPurple]

@@robokauz I gotta be tripping how is PID beneficial for the flywheel?

[@fluffydeath2365]

@@BasicPurple to my knowledge PID stops the flywheel from oscillating between two values, PID understands the amount of speed the flywheel needs to slow down by, say, 30 rpm under target, to hit the target and not run the rpms over that amount.

[@BasicPurple]

@@fluffydeath2365 oh that's awesome I gotta learn how to do that
