Excited to see how they implement a 254 style ground intake! I definitely think that at the highest levels of play you still want a top roller intake to grab pixels from anywhere on the field, more than just from the human player zone.
I heard you were planning to use lidar based distance sensors. Where are you getting them from and how do you program them. My team has had a lot of difficulty with the inaccurate REV ones so any information would be apreciated.
pololu sells very small 200cm digital distance sensors. for the record, these will not give you an accurate distance and instead report if there is something within a distance. For programming them, check out the ftc-docs for digital sensors.
It looks like the wrist on the claw uses 2 axon micro servos in parallel. Due to small differences in the servo feedback and motors, I would think this has the potential for the servos to fight each other, resulting in extra current draw, battery drain and servo heating. I'm wondering if you have looked for this or in fact observed this?
they can run the servos in continuous mode and run them with a pid based off the absolute position of one of the servos. idk if this is actually what they are doing but this is the best and most common approach to running a position controller with two motors

Would greatly appreciate the RPM of the motor you used for the chain and sprocket.
What distance sensor have you had success with?
kooky botz is so cool.. i hope we get to see you at worlds after our state championship (12347 in texas !!!)

What motor do you guys use for the pivot for the arm?
What kind of distance sensors are you planning to use?
Such a great bot!
Cool stuff!
So currently no drone or hang? Are there plans to add later in the season?
Yep!
Wait isnt Aabhas a 16379 mentor
Who?
He mentors a bunch of teams I think
Hi team 16379
I wanna contacts with you guys 😊
I hope to god kookybots doesnt come to the colorado qualis this robot looks too good ;-; I love their robot btw not trying to be mean
Cad?
Veer can u give the claw cad 🙏
no
xbox looking bot (still cracked tho)
do more vex content 😭
We're headed out to Indy Signature tomorrow! But we make content covering multiple programs.
Ftc better
yessir @@the_crustyDonut
do you have any plans about heading to the signature event at uc berkely?@@FUNRoboticsNetwork
@@the_crustyDonut nuh uh
Where did you guys find the linear actuator arm you guys used? Would really appreciate if you guys could send a link? @kookybotz
