1/2" hex shaft is needed for both the climber and roller claw was left of the bill of materials due to an oversight on our parts. Links to purchase hex shaft can be found in the bill of materials now. Please note that rounded 1/2" hex shaft also works, allowing the hex shaft to fit into 13.75mm bearings.
Spark Max Motor Controller out of stock
As of 1/31 the Spark Max motor controller is currently out of stock from REV with a restock expected in late February. If you are in need of motor controllers the best and most affordable replacement is the Victor SPX from VEXpro, which can only be used with brushed motor controllers. This will work with all recommended motors on the Everybot except the NEO on the climber.
Software instructions and troubleshooting
Instructions for installing software, preparing the robot for code and deploying the starter code have been added.
AndyMark Roller Claw available
AndyMark has finalized their 2024 Everybot Roller Claw package which is now purchasable on their website. This kit provides everything required for a working roller claw.
Major manual additions (ballast, bumper and more)
We have added an overview of the Everybot, bumpers, ballast and completed robot photos to the Everybot manual.
Climber section revisions
Additional clarifications have been added for machining unpatterned box tube and for using patterned box tube.
Everybot released!
With the Everybot reveal, the following resources have become available:
- Manual with sections on the chassis, roller claw, climb and electrical layout
- CAD
- Code
- Bill of materials
We hope to release our ballast and bumpers sections by the end of the week. Additionally there are some programming specific resources (deploying code, imaging the roboRIO, etc.) on the way!
We are live!
Welcome to the Everybot documentation site!
With this move we hope to accomplish the following:
- Move away Google Doc as the public facing manual without heavily sacrificing collaboration, printability or ease of use
- Improve navigation of the manual
- Host resources relevant to Everybot and FRC teams in general
- Allow for the integration of those resources into the manual to give more context to specific actions
- Provide updates to teams on additions/changes to the manual and major events (critical out of stock components, etc.)
This is an update.
Updates will exist in the updates tab and the newest two updates will exist on the home page. Look for updates about Everybot documentation, critical component stock and updates the Everybot Evergreens.
