VIQRC Rapid Relay Robot Reveal: Crossfire (93131C Tiny Heatwave)

Our new-look team 93131C Tiny Heatwave reveals their unique design for VIQRC Rapid Relay: Crossfire!
93131C Tiny Heatwave
This VEX IQ robot uses a double-loading mechanism to rapidly fire twice, aim-correction in the case of misses and of course a 4-motor holonomic X-drive!
What about the high goal? Just wait until the students reveal Crossfire 2!
Creator Academy is a proud advocate of student-centred design.

Very interesting concept

[@WaltoL-kb2vr]

When is Pyromania gonna get our showcase?

[@AT_it-Obamna]

I dont quite understand the catapult mechanism. How does the winch work?

[@AT_it-Obamna]

Nevermind I figured it out

[@theunderdogs1109A]

i was just waiting for it to shoot in the high goal but it never did😂 I assume tiny heatwave is solving that now!

[@CreatorAcademyAustralia]

Yep, they’re working on it! 😁

[@Vexguy1]

Love the design if they have pneumatics they can do a adjustable shooter mech that is very cool

[@CreatorAcademyAustralia]

Your pneumatic adjustable shooter video is fantastic, what team are you from? Garry

@@CreatorAcademyAustraliaI’m not on a robotics team now I’m switching between schools and I’m not even 100% I’m going to make the team but I hope so in all of my videos I’m the only one that builds the robot other than the first dump bot design I had

[@linguo6675]

how many motors?

[@CreatorAcademyAustralia]

6 motors total. Garry

Why share ideas on KZbin? Don't you see that this limits children's thinking and makes them lazy and limited in their imagination? I know that sharing ideas contributes significantly to developing a child's level in robotics, but I see that this limits the child's work in building the robot they imagined for the first time. Great job! Good luck!

umm what

I know that sharing ideas contributes significantly to developing a child's skills in robotics, but I believe that it limits the child’s creativity in building and engineering robots. Anyway, great job! Good luck!

[@CreatorAcademyAustralia]

As you said: seeing more ideas will improve a child’s learning. Teams can get inspiration (or not) from this design. Garry

[@aminebourass1299]

@@CreatorAcademyAustralia Yes, this has pros and cons

[@CJRRobotics]

It's very challenging to balance this- some kids (and mentors!) are new and struggle without seeing lots of ideas online- good to watch widely to learn to assess pros/cons. Some may just copy the metabot. There's no way to stop people posting bots from week 1, but we try to mostly show mechanisms (and not even tuned ones) early season to get those creative juices flowing!
