Last Year's Season
The 2010-2011, Logomotion season was one of the most successful years The Holy Cows had experienced. The team was under new leadership with Stephen Whiting, as the Director of Public Relations, and Chris Lutze, as the Director of Engineering, and the team grew to 63 members. We also continued our community outreach by completing 4,000 hours of community service, for a total of 10,000 in the past three seasons. The Holy Cows were Champions of the 2011 Silicon Valley Regional and won the Motorola Quality Award, as well as, Regional Chairman’s Award Winners at the 2011 San Diego Regional. Moving on to the FIRST Championships, The Holy Cows won their first Championship level award in the form of the Championship Motorola Quality Award.

Daisy Maize – 2011 (LogoMotion)
Physical Spec: 98.2 lbs, 59” tall
Drive train: 6 wheel west coast drive, single speed transmissions.
Max speed: 18.5 ft/sec

Lift: Arm could reach all 3 heights to score; arm could be raised from ground to top peg in 1.2 seconds. This made us a formidable opponent because we had the ability to achieve much higher scores than only on the high rack.
Mechanism:Active roller claw; rollers made out of Delrin and covered with rubber grip tape. IR sensor allowed for continuous tube acquisition control.

Mini-bot Deployment: Servo holds a spring loaded pivoting arm. Arm drops down when released and mini bot rolls on a ramp to the tower. The ramp allows the mini bot to gain momentum before vertical inclination. The ramp consisted a horizontal bar with a strip of galvanized steel secured to it. The steel allowed our mini bot to be magnetically attracted to it. The ramp acted ultimately as an extension of the pole. This extension transported the mini bot to the pole at the traveling speed of the bot; instead of a comparatively slow retractable sliding deployment. The mini bot employed a two roller design in which it magnetically coupled to the pole, and then used two rollers to propel it.

Chassis:Uni-body aluminum frame to reduce weight and improve alightment. Rails and mounting brackets on the side in order for the motors and bearings to mount. Mounting hole on the back for magnet.
Propulsion Mechanism: The mini bot was propelled by two aluminum rollers with 3/8” diameter surgical tubing lining them for grip. The rollers were direct driven to two Tetrix motors.

Deployment: The mini bot had tubes that would mate with matching pins on the main robot; the mini bot was held in place with a servo activated clamp on the main robot. When activated the minibot would push off it’s garage and would automatically activate and turn on the mini bot. At this point the motors would activate propelling the mini bot up the pole.
