the scary part is that we weren't even the most powerful robot there. some of the teams that were able to out-shove us, even when we were in low gear, were talking about how they have to do things like spray their power distribution board with compressed co2 to cool it between matches, and how switching from 6-gauge to 4-gauge wire made a noticeable difference to the performance

it's a FRC robot, so I assume running from a 12V battery through a 120A main breaker. the CIM's stall current is listed as 133A, so 900+A from 6 motors is pretty feasible and also kind of funny. maybe get the students to program some sort of voltage ramp function into the drive code so the thing isn't instantaneously slamming from full reverse to full forward? also post robot pics, robot designs are always super creative and fun. i'm working on an entry for the MATE underwater robotics comp right now. we're required to source power from the surface through a tether at 48VDC and a max current of 40A. problem is that right now the tether is 60ft of 12 gauge wire, so I can't imagine that great things will happen to it at maximum draw. fortunately it's water cooled! i'll post some pics once it's closer to completion.

Sweevo posted:2n3055s are all fake now. an old 70s one would still work fine while glowing red hot this was in 1989, in east germany. the berlin wall had fallen recently. i was working on an electroplating machine, which had numerous process stations. each station held a basket that had a spiral track. the tiny components would run up the track and jump off the end due to vibration, and recirculate. i can't remember exactly how heavy the baskets were but it was definitely tens of kilograms. 30 to 50 maybe? the vibrators couldn't handle the mass. the company that made the vibrators sent some belgian engineers to help us out. they were awful, they laughed openly at the east germans and their lovely decaying country. their solution to the problem was not to fix anything properly - they just wanted to get the gently caress out. so they simply adjusted the current limiters way beyond their sensible limits to try and get enough power into the vibrators. the result was that a 2N3055 exploded, sending a shower of sparks a few feet into the aisle out through the open cabinet doors. molten metal from the case dripped down into an overridden circuit breaker, which also spat glowing metal in turn. good times

yeah. unfortunately i didn't pick up on what he was doing fast enough cause i was dealing with the mechanical issues most of the season. also there is one other kid who's into programming but like...not the right kind of programming. i'm not sure where he's getting it from exactly but he constantly asks me which linux distro is the best one (i dont know) and was mad that we were using the java api for the robot instead of c. and he has this attitude that the more low-level something is, the better it is, which is definitely not true when you have to bootstrap a functional machine from zero in 6 weeks. use all the pre-built assists you can find, damnit. i think his dad is a goony programmer and perhaps this is where it's coming from. he'll grow up eventually though. next year i'm going to emphasize mechanical ~simplicity~ in our design over all else and putting more effort into mentoring the programmers and less into solving mechanical problems that we shouldn't have had in the first place (excessively complicated design). we really don't have enough programming expertise right now. on the plus side we did get the EI award and as a result are going to championships so the kids will hopefully go and learn from some of the real powerhouse teams e: and now that i've gotten to know the new members of the team, i have a pretty good snse of who should be on the programming team next year. some really keen freshmen who got sort of shoved out by the seniors. hooray for high school cliques Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 00:32 on Mar 17, 2014 |

Bloody posted:get out your soldering iron and make a respectable board please halfway done doing just that (minus the respectable part - half of the point of this was to get me better at soldering + simple electronics that arent servos, i breadboarded it up first because i frankly had no idea if the pedal would work) Sagebrush posted:hahaha jesus loving christ. i'm going over the designs for our competition robot this year and checking some specs because we kept blowing the main circuit breaker in competitions. it's rated for 150 amps, but can do 300 amps for a short period of time (about 90 seconds). matches are only 2.5 minutes long. our batteries are 12 amp-hours so *in theory* we can make it just about an entire match drawing the maximum current before the battery craps out, if the breaker could handle it. holy gently caress, what

you should run your robot on 400vdc except then you will start killing high schoolers so i guess maybe don't but that'd be the appropriate solution
