Yes, every version of Eruption has always run a hub motor. This was from a long long time ago, though.

@@brianboxell I see, it looks like your hub motor arrangement is more sophisticated than Weta kits, you have one side of with a bearing, I couldn't deduce how you support the other side that has the motor, is it something obvious and I am just not getting it or is it a secret sauce?

Well technically the lift worked but not our claw

Luis G I don’t have stuff for this year

Mark Luo not part of this team but, stiffen the lift, increases cube capacity, have anti tips that’s all I think

Which motors are you talking about? Most of these motors are pretty strong....

Appleton 3 p a s s i v e

@@antholuo i know taths passive but they tube open To release cube and i want To know what is the mecanism

@@user-xr6fg2yq9b Yeah, they have a motor that seems to open up the cage, retracting the passive and the guides which allows the cubes to slip out, and for the robot to drive back and release the cubes. Btw - where are you from? It doesn't seem like English is your first language.

Im from Québec

Appleton 3 Ah- vortex 3s?

Mark Luo the 4 motors on drive seem to be independent from everything else. There's one motor in the middle driving the four bar.

Mark Luo it would help if you only made one big comment :). The curved standoffs look like guides

Mark Luo yes

Mark Luo that one motor powers both sides of the side rollers. There is chain that connects them.

Mark Luo theoretically a documentary is being produced but the person who is supposed to be doing it isn’t making much progress. I know we filmed close ups of the passive intake parts that grab the cubes.

Mark Luo we did not stack them per se, we just wanted to take the shot of it for the reveal so we loaded the cubes into the robot by hand and then drove up to the scoring area and stacked them. Then I ended up cropping those videos in editing to fit the music better.

Itzelston theoretically it was supposed to be done by now but the person editing is having some issues. Hopefully it will be out soon.

@@brianboxell oh okay thank you so much !😄

Random Person Thanks! We intended for this robot to be an incredibly complex, sort of a joke robot, but by the end we all think that it is actually a pretty good robot. We especially think that the design can be taken and improved on to be very competitive!

@@brianboxell really impressive dr4b must be really well built and has very little friction and slop to allow 1 motor to lift 3 cubes

Random Person thanks, it is actually strong enough to lift 6-7.

Erick Osorio I don’t speak Spanish well, but it theoretically does fit in the 18”. There are 2 c-channels in the back that need to be cut that we did not feel like cutting.

Yang Zhao “this team” is actually 2 teams, one of which (9605A) won many competitions and has now graduated and is moving to VexU. The other (9421) is going to be a great competitor this year!

Samuel Warzecha it’s what entertained me the most

Thanks! The passive intake locks are easily the best part of this robot. They are good enough imo to use on a real competition robot.

@@brianboxell yeah looks very promising, good luck, hope to see you guys at worlds!

Cykaraptor 7701x 9421 should be there, but I (9605A) graduated so I will only go back if I do VexU with WPI.

Nathan Cormier you like it?

wait another minute. Are the cube suction thingys chained together?

Pandaman Inventor the “cube suction thingies” (aka siderollers) are chained together, which means there’s only 8 motors. There is a motor distribution at the end of the video.

@@brianboxell OK. Our design is somewhat similar minus the mobile goal lift with a lift on top, so I was trying to see how that would work out on ours since we aren't building for a few more weeks

Nope! It is a HS robot there is just some metal extending off the back that would need to be trimmed to fit in size.
