The DiscoBots proudly present their 2015 FRC Robot called "Sullee".
The design is focused on simplicity and picking up recycling containers in autonomous.

CAD model
The CAD model was our blueprint and most all the design decisions were driven by the 3D model.
Video
Thank you to Nathan Lerner (& Lerner productions) for helping put together the reveal video for this robot.
Engineering Documentation
Plastic clamping bearing blocks were not rated to handle the high torque applications.
For example, we suffered a hairline crack on two plastic clamping bearing blocks under high torque lifting (50:1 gearbox for chain lift of totes).
We also experienced two failures with the bearing blocks on our normal drivetrain operation. One hairline crack failure on our practice robot & another on our competition robot after the 2015 Bayou regional.
