8448X Team Rocket | Div Finalist | VEX Worlds Push Back Robot Explanation

Añadido: 2026-05-12

[00:00:01]What's up, guys? T848X here. We're doing a robot reveal.

[00:00:06]>> Uh, I guess I'll start with the drivetrain.

[00:00:10]>> Uh, we run 450 RPM on 3.25 in wheels, so pretty standard. Uh, we left our gap in the front because our robot's pretty front heavy as you can probably see.

[00:00:22]We'll get into the rest of that later.

[00:00:24]Uh, but that just helps us get the blocks in the barrier zone. Uh, you want to talk about the Odon?

[00:00:32]We got this uh silly Odon pod. It kind of failed at worlds, but you know, the code never missed, so that's a plus.

[00:00:43]Uh, we also had to stack our motors in the middle because the goal goes so far into a robot in the back that it would have hit the motor otherwise. So, we had to stack them in the middle like that, which was fine.

[00:01:00]Uh, guess we'll go into the intake next.

[00:01:05]It's a pretty standard Rugon style bot, except it's kind of a really squish sideways to fit this uh mechanism in the back, which we'll go over later. But the bottom stage is just uh standard flex wheels.

[00:01:22]You got a gap in the middle for the match loader. Uh, one thing I would not recommend is uh bracing it like this.

[00:01:28]You can see it got really bent up at worlds.

[00:01:32]>> Uh, you want to talk about the match a little?

[00:01:35]>> Yeah. So, we have uh super short match letter. So, we stayed in size. Um, we have to drop the back down to lower the mash letter or else we'll be out of size. We have two things of lat tubing here just instead of the band. It puts it to the right position. also have these two standoffs in the bottom which help line up with the bottom of the mash litter.

[00:01:57]It's pretty standard. This drops down, scoops into match litter.

[00:02:01]Uh we also run a triple state up here.

[00:02:04]Probably you don't have to see it from the back. Um triple state. So we have scoring uh and it goes up and then all the way up to mobile.

[00:02:19]You can see we can hold about six balls.

[00:02:27]>> We hold about six balls. Um, pretty small storage, but we don't really need it with our back mechanism.

[00:02:34]>> Uh, yeah. So, I guess we'll showcase middle goal scoring real fast. One thing I'll talk about, these aligners are really great for middle goal cuz they're so long that we could come in from really anywhere.

[00:02:47]>> So, dropped into it.

[00:02:55]>> That was a little scuffed. But yeah, you can also see that it rests on the bottom goal. That's our stopper basically. And that makes us pretty impossible to push off. No one's going to get us off that goal.

[00:03:08]>> Uh so you just want to showcase scoring there.

[00:03:14]>> Yeah, it's not the best, but it works.

[00:03:16]The main part of this is the that top thing. We call it the chainsaw.

[00:03:21]But basically, we can use it to descore the middle goal and the top goal.

[00:03:32]Uh you can also drag blocks out of it.

[00:03:35]So you can take blocks out from the other side of the box like that. That's really nice just for if we have to switch between the long goal and the middle goal during a match really quickly.

[00:03:46]Um, can't score logo very well because we didn't have any aligners, but that didn't matter here too much.

[00:03:56]Uh, next up we have the long goal. So, we have these really big long goal liners on the back so we can line from pretty much anywhere. And once we're on the long goal, we're basically impossible to get pushed off. Um, >> you can see here we're not we're not going to move. Uh, this thing rests right above the long gole. It's >> not illegal.

[00:04:20]>> It's not on the concave zone.

[00:04:22]>> So, we can um >> we can use this to either or we can drop this to help push blocks in and sort of wing rally from our side of the goal. So whereas going against a teammate who's trying or an opponent trying to win the balls, you can just wait for them to wing and basically just wing back without having to leave the goal.

[00:04:48]>> Yeah. And this was really good in matches cuz basically eventually if they kept pushing the balls back into us, they would fly out the other end of the goal. They would have to pick them up and rescore somewhere else.

[00:04:58]>> So that really helped our cycling. Uh for the bling liner, we have a slanted up piece of poly. So this allows us to goes under the under the slope zone of the goal.

[00:05:11]So one problem we have is our robot so like um vertical that it's tippy. So this keeps us from getting on top of the goal and it just really helps with lining and wing play. So when you back up, you don't do a big wheelie. And pretty standard just one wing.

[00:05:33]Yeah, that's pretty useful.

[00:05:36]>> Yeah, this along the line is really good. We didn't need a triangle at all because we obviously just kind of encased the goal and to stop it, we had these little C channels in the back that came down. We had a bearing on it. That was because before it would just hit this C channel, >> but if we got pushed really hard, we would slide up on the goal. So, we just switched to this and it's a lot better.

[00:06:04]Um, >> yeah, that's kind of it for this robot.
