[video] team 342 first test

[hipsterjr]

The Burning Magnetos presents our progress as of Thursday week 5.
This was a rough test and we just need minor tweaking.

As you can see. we have a dumper. We can hold 15-20 balls and have traction control. We are only running 2 cims on drive train this year.
More videos with driving will come Saturday.

Any questions or comments are appreciated.

Very nice! I look forward to seeing it at Palmetto this year - you guys will be there, right?

The only thing of interest on the negative is that it seems like the balls are stuck momentarily during loading - does driving forward while collecting help this, or does it not cause too much of a problem?

I am, however, a big fan of the name "BURN-E"... Wild guess says I know where that comes from. ;-)

Like I said, this was the first test, we tweaked it some more after this video. we have another piece of lexan that guild the balls better and put more pressure on the rollers. The final version wont have that pause or slight jamming seen now. Test with the trailer show that an average of 90+% of balls will make it in the trailer after driving up to the trailer and dumping:cool: .
