Team 39 Vex Elevation Robot

Team 39, the Zip Ties, Explains the capabilities of their robot for the Build Award of the 2009 VEX World Championship... too bad fear of swine flu kept them home =(

Additional Notes:

The drive base features 1:1 chain drive, due to chain's increased efficiency over gears

The manipulator is made from the vex aluminum to reduce weight

did you program your motors to stop the lifting system mid air?

how?

is it easy?

[TDAWizard]

all robot movement shown in this video is done during an operator control mode (to bypass the autonomous for testing, stuck an orange jumper in interrupt 6); all i did was hit the button to make it move, and release to stop it... i myself am not entirely sure as to the programing but it shouldn't be to hard.

Nicely done guys. Good luck!!!!

[TDAWizard]

conveyor belts are slightly more effective, but we decided on the intake rollers because of their lesser masses and smaller size

i just got back from an open house from your school i cant wait to join the robitics team

intake is slow, but great design. i would have recommended making the drive a little faster as well.
