We use slow motion to see and record the shooting process, and see if there are some points the discs might get stuck while shooting. This helps us better get hold of the problem.
This is to calibrate our gyro for the robot. If we constantly use gyro without re-calibrating it, the degrees are often off by a lot, and it becomes unstable. The borders(walls) are straight so it is an awesome tool for calibrating. Another reason is to make sure the robot always starts in the same position before doing purple and blue.
How do you have enough torque to do the blue dispenser? I made a prototype, but when I put it on my robot, the drivetrain seems to have not enough torque. (I have a 2:1 drive base)
@@hongni7135 There will certainly be some difference based on the robot, but I do think the blue structure should work on 2:1 speed gear ratio chassis.
You were one of the biggest inspirations for us! You probably don’t remember us but we were once alliances in Pitching In. I’m so sorry you have a test on that day..
The blue round pulley wheels are used for guiding the structure inside the dispenser. Without it, the tolerance would be much lower on both driver and auto skills. Thank you for watching this video :)
No so sad you arn't coming tpo worlds. You have a very very good Robot and me and my team got inspired by your first robot. We were hoping we would see you in worlds but stuff hapens. Nice Season GOOD LUCK NEXT YEAR! You are AMAZING!!!!!
Thank you very much! I would love to see your robot at Worlds but it is quite unfortunate that we can't go. May I know your team's number? This way I can watch the live stream :)
Hey! I’m sorry you couldn’t make it to worlds this year. I was hoping to see you at the dome again but, I’d like to understand more on the blue dispenser. I’ve seen many teams do it and even though we won alliance at states in SOCAL me and my team still have a lot to improve. I’ve kinda been scratching my head on why they use the pulleys on the side of the blue dispenser. I’ve read your replies about less tolerance and i don’t understand your term tolerance that well. Can you clarify how it works and what tolerance is?
The tolerance here means fault tolerance. Which means the ability to endure an allowable amount of variation to the original perfect plan. High tolerance means the robot can still finish the run even if some degree is of. The pulley beside basically guides the robot into the blue dispenser. When the robot is not going perfectly straight into the blue dispenser without the pulley, there is a big chance it is not going in. However, if we have the pulley wheels by the side, it can guide the robot into the dispenser even when the robot is not going in straight. This increases the tolerance of the blue dispenser mechanism.
@@flyingcheese22608a I personally think the difficulty for the code are the same. However, the main difference will be the tolerance of the robot. If the robot fails a mission by being off by a few degrees, that means the robot still needs improvement. Improvements can include guider for the blue dispenser, or anything that can guide the robot into the correct position. If it is to compare the whole autonomous development progress, I would say pitching in was harder, because there were so many possible strategies that needed to be tried out. For example, which route, where to shoot, how many balls to hold, etc.
Thank you very much for taking inspiration from our robot!! We actually did make into worlds, but we decided that we are not gonna go due to some plans. Thank you for watching this video :)
Idk HOW y'all are so freaking good, but keep up the good work. And I was wondering if you have any tips because my team just came back from states and we don't know if we're going to worlds yet.
This is my first year and my first teams year going to worlds! We wanted to see you guys (we means me bc I watch vex yters lol) Good luck next year guys!
woahh our team stand no chance at worlds lol. sorry your team can't make it :( also, has your robot ever had a problem with it drifting, as it's a huge problem for us. if you did, i would appreciate if you could let me know. thanks!
Make a stable drivetrain so it doesn’t drift as much and maybe add some traction wheels. Also they made it to worlds they just had something they couldn’t miss for school so they couldn’t attend
We use a gyro sensor for autonomous and took a lot of time to improve our robot's tolerance of different situations. For example, we added the pulley wheels at the front of the blue dispenser mechanism. We are not going to Worlds because I have a test coming up during that time.
sorry that I made you guys lose pitching in, I was looking forward to making it up to you at worlds this year. sorry that you can't go! awesome robot 👍
It was an awesome match at the dome pairing up with you guys. It's quite unfortunate that we can't go, It would be nice if we got paired up again this year. I will be watching the Livestream haha. See you guys in the dome on live :) Good Luck, and thanks for watching my video :D

Just us being super nervous, four discs went on the floor cuz we drive too fast while getting the blue dispensers😂 Auto even had a higher score...lol
Do you have any tips to fine-tune the shooter? Ours is different, but i feel some general ideas should carry over.

@Purin Chan Okay that's smart thanks!
3:28 hitting the wall to line up the robot is so smart :O
Thanks :))
why does the robot go into the border at 2:16
line up for blue and purple its easier to do this than set the exact amount you need to go to line up

@@PurinChan oh thank you
That Auto is amazing! you guys must have some great programmer's on that team :)
Haha thank you :)
How many Sensors and Motors are you guys using?
6 motors, 1 gyro, and 1 touchLED
How do you have enough torque to do the blue dispenser? I made a prototype, but when I put it on my robot, the drivetrain seems to have not enough torque. (I have a 2:1 drive base)
We use a 1.5:1 gear ratio for the chassis. However, I am not sure if this affects the blue dispenser retriever.
@@PurinChan Thanks for your prompt reply, do you think the torque is very different between 2:1 and 1.5:1

You were one of the biggest inspirations for us! You probably don’t remember us but we were once alliances in Pitching In. I’m so sorry you have a test on that day..
Thank you so much! May I ask in which competition were we alliances, I couldn’t seem to find a previous match alliances with 1876Z.
@@PurinChan It was in Pitching In!
at worlds
@@azda_ We are both in the Spirit Division :) However I supposed we didn't got paired up for a teamwork match?
@@PurinChan you guys should just miss the test it would be awesome to see you at worlds
You posted this literally a couple minutes after I commented on your last vid, should have just waited for this video
It is fine lol, the video is always here :)
Very good job!! Big inspiration. One question though, what do the gears on top of the blue dispenser used for?
The blue round pulley wheels are used for guiding the structure inside the dispenser. Without it, the tolerance would be much lower on both driver and auto skills.
Thank you for watching this video :)
@@PurinChan Loved it
How did you do the extending? Is it more than one motors to start the reaching?
Ps: I got into worlds!

Great video and great robot! Why not the Worlds?
I have a test crashing with the Worlds. However, we don’t regret making this decision :)

What type of puncher do you use
Is it like a 2by beam that is pulled back or the type you used on your 2rd generation robot

What kind of magic happened on Yellow pickup?!?
The mechanism is shown in this video :)

Programming skills are amazing. What sensors did you use to make the robot walk so accurately?
We used only the gyro senser for calibrating the robot movements. Also used a TouchLED senser for starting the program.
@@PurinChan Did you use Pstraight code?
@@landonvo3098 I use robotc to code
