Robot Basics

Robot Stats The robot has a weight limit 120 lbs. without battery or bumpers. The battery is about 10 lbs. and the bumpers have a weight limit of 15 lbs. The robot can expand out to 5’ by 5’ by 5’ during the match. Before the match it most be touching the wall and be 28” by 38” by 5’.

The Parts of a Robot The 3 basic parts of a robot are: The Insides The Appendage The Drive-train

Insides The insides of a robot is where the wiring of the robot is, and the computer that controls the robots movements.

Appendages Robots are built with different appendages depending on what the game is and what strategies the team wants to do. Some appendages include: Arms Ball suckers/nets Ramps/wedges

Different Drive-trains Teams use different drive-trains to help their maneuverability. The main types of drive- trains are: 2-wheel Drive 4-wheel Drive Swerve/crap Drive Pivot Drive Multi-wheel Drive & many others

2-wheel vs. 4-wheel With 2-wheel drive, 2 wheels are attached to motors to make the robot move. It is usually the least maneuverable. 4-wheel drive causes more maneuverability, since each wheel now has a motor attached to it.

Swerve/crap drive Swerve drive causes even more maneuverability, because now the robot can move like the mouse for your computer.

Pivot Drive Pivot Drive trys to mimic the maneuverability of swerve drive by rotating the drive-train or robot instead of the wheels.

Multi-wheel Drive & others Some robots use more than 4 wheels, to create more traction. Other robots tilt their wheels for more maneuverability. Omi-Wheels
