RoboLoCo

Driving you crazy since 2013

Founded in 2013, we are Team 5338 - better known as RoboLoCo. We are a FIRST® Robotics Competition (FRC) team competing in the Chesapeake District and the only FRC team in Loudoun County. RoboLoCo, Team 5338, is one of several thousand FRC teams across the globe.

Safety First With Robotics

Here at RoboLoCo the students are careful to keep the unused robots caged and locked to help prevent skynet related incidents.

Sneak Peak - New CAN PCB

Created 1 year ago by Paulson M


Prototypes Have Arrived!

RoboLoCo's latest prototype for its CAN PCB has arrived.

One of the raw boards...

Action Shot

The board below has the screw terminals soldered on and is mounted in a brand new 3d printed PCB holder.

It features room for up to 24 connections per board PLUS a shield. The shield, misleading marked as "ground", is intended for use when shielded twisted pair cabling is in use. The shield hooks to the "ground" connection while the twisted pair hooks to the "high" and "low".

The shield/ground can be grounded. Although doing so on a FRC legal robot represents a slight risk in terms of shorts causing other problems. Mainly around inspection time when the chassis is tested to ensure it's not connected to either the positive or negative rails on the electrical system.

Wheel Expanding

This is what happens to FRC rubber wheels when spinning fast enough...

Sorry, your browser doesn't support embedded videos.

As pointed out over at Chief Delphi, it's important to note that this sort of experiment should only be tried under controlled conditions. The risk of this type of wheel breaking apart is very high.
