I have been suscribed in your channel since your first videos, your progress is incredible.
Oh amazing you have the files!
Love this
Any videos of this in action? Looks great btw!
Yes, here’s the video: czcams.com/video/bzsFAengDy0/video.html
These would be awesome to see on a heavy weight
Cool!
i think swerve would be good on combat robots if done properly. if you look at SDS, their modules are EXTREMELY durable. unfortunately, every combat robot has to custom design their swerve.
Ya.
It’s also about how it performs when there is a failure, too. We’ve seen plenty of robots finish matches with 1/2 their wheels missing. It’s more difficult to do that with swerve, particularly if wheels fail/freeze at different angles.
Very cool! - have you tried using thick O-rings instead of LEGO tires?
I have! they grip about the same, but the Lego tires seem to have less issues with rolling/ falling off the rim
Might wanna make it so swapping the pods doesn't require cutting and soldering all your wires XD. Awesome project though, definitely has potential. Still need a way to fight the gyro forces while turning to actually face an opponent that is on one side or the other though. I made a Deep Six inspired beetle and am no stranger to this problem.
Why turn to face them? Drive backwards, crab laterally. Bam - you are now facing them. (at least that was my theory before I tried to actually change my driving habits mid-competition...)
@@CarterHurd That only works if they are not against the side of the box either in front of or behind you. Almost none of my fights have not involved chasing the opponent into a wall or corner before getting some real bite.
Triple Crown is another proof of concept, but wasn't finished before its fight
Correction at 0:17, its not commenly used in all FIRST robotics, just FRC (First Robotics Chalange, so highschool robotics) as in FTC (First Tech Challenge, smaller scale middle school/highschool robotics also with premade peices) mechanum wheels are the most common
thats changeing, kooky bots made swerve, Roboknights released a cheap open source swerve drive that costs the same as the go builda straffer chasis, and we have gotten many teams already asking us (the roboknights) about the swerve drive
Do you mentor on a FRC team?
What software are you using for designing the bot? Solid works?

Ok this is an unrelated question about building my first ant bot. Sorry not trying to spam I also asked this on your robot building basic video but here were go.. Im trying to decide between 3v or 6v brushed motors for my first ant build. I'd like to ignore a weapon and have 4 wheel drive with 4 motors. Is it possible to wire 4 motors to the Dual ESC without frying anything? 2 motors to one side and the 2 others to the other side. In your opinion is 4 motors overkill for most Antweight robots? Thanks for everything on your channel and the STL files on thingiverse!!
Look for my video on electronics for beginners - that should help you out. Go with 6v motors. You can wire 2 motors in parallel to a single ESC channel so long as the amperage draw of the two motors together does not exceed the current limit of the ESC. If you're using mini gearmotors you'll probably be fine when it comes to the current draw. I prefer 2 wheels per side...helps when you lose one. Good luck!
“I also designed them to be lightweight enough to work in the antweight class.” Now I want to see these on an antweight.
Are you going to upload those wheels to thingiverse with the pods? They were missing from Future Killer and Space Ninja.
Link has been added!
There are no wheels.
On the other hand: discord.gg/fQfqAv (move on this quickly, it expires after a day)
@@Lumakid100 wheel should be there now
Thanks. Can you put Future Killer’s back wheel on its stl files? (I want to make it. I can’t if there is no back wheel. [Technically you can, but it can’t “drive” flipped.] thanks anyway.)

you never included a link for 0:48 in the vid i wanna see that bot
Look at FIRST FRC for really good swerve drive.
I've mentored for FIRST for 6+ years, and have worked on real Swerve drives. I just couldn't get that type of method down to this weight class, but maybe some day I'll try...
I hate using Phillips or Flat head screws for ANYTHING. Torx or hex all the way
Have you considered omni wheels in an H-drive configuration?
very ez to push
terible drivetrain
anybody remember sticky wheels?
why not use mecanum wheels, it would save weight.
I considered it. But have you ever seen an antweight with mecanum? They are difficult to pull off, have no traction, and if 1 wheel gets taken off you cant even drive straight anymore. This design can lose 4 of the 6 wheels and still keep working.
Why not do a holonomic drive?
very little pushing power, and doesn't work well if you lose a wheel
Alta's Projects ah I see, that’s fair
I low angle holonomic may be useful and lighter than the “swerve”
But good looking design anyway
Love your channel, I want to at at t doing stuff like it and more than just vex on my actual channel
Alta's Projects also thank you for such a fast reply, that’s awesome
I had a idea for a battle-bot, it would have a retractable,hollow harpoon as a weapon using extremely fast motors to fire it and since it's hollow, you can make it bigger than usual low weight battle-bots and it'll actually be useful since in the lower weights battle bots have less armour so it can easily pierce through and damage the wires or other mechanical parts making the opponent not able to move making you win also you could add a joy-stick for the harpoon
"If you're team deep 6 just copy this" LOLOLOLOLOL
I love it thanks !but I can't build it ! But I said I will not one day I will ! Now I have to get my med school ?
Any one who's in med feild and want to do robotics? Please comment down !
Can I use your system to counter the gyro ? Please ......?
Was this comment written sober?
@@CarterHurd yes it's true !
