i was about to say that that wasn't 103's robot, but then i saw the bumpers. so you took the shooter off and replaced it with... some sort of dumping mechanism. its kinda hard to tell in this pic. will there be any more pics of the upgrades in the coming days? i would like to see what changes you made.

Haha I haven't been paying much attention to FRC this year but I must say that is the coolest robot I've seen, it's like a gumball machine of moon rocks!

I can't speak for 103.. but from what I saw today, they have their brush-archimedes screw idea, then the balls go into a flat top hopper. They then use pneumatics or some other implement to angle the hopper bottom and dump the balls out. It's been pretty effective this regional, considering they're ranked 2nd.

Really nice photography Michelle. The orbit balls in the trailer (unfortunately ours :o ) are so crisply in focus, while the background gradually blurs. Kudos for catching the action.
What makes this "epic"?
I was expecting a trailer overflowing with balls at the very least...

I think she was referring the to the quality of the photograph itself, not the robot pictured.

Nice modifications 103.
Team 2753 (Team Overdrive) used the same dumper mechanism in NJ and NYC. It is simple, but it sure works!
You are looking strong.
Go NJ Teams!

Its a great new look. You guys are doing really well.
P.S. How much time did it take to replace with your shooter.

thanks a lot. And the whole dumping mechanism took about 3 days to make in the shop. And it only took about an hour to fully replace and test in the pits. It worked much better than I thought it would to tell you the truth.
PS. Pennsylvania is around 50 degrees. I wish I was in Florida!

This coming from a team that adapted their empty cell holder 4 times during a regional.
how come one ball would always get stuck at the top of the screw lifter and not go up into the hopper?

I believe that there is a 90% chance that you are thinking of the wrong team. And a 10% chance that I'm going crazy, because we don't have an empty cell holder...?
(Unless you didn't mean to refer to *my* team)

Having not seen this design in person I can only make an educated guess. Originally that ball would have been pulled out of the top of the spiral by the shooting wheel, but once that wheel was removed the only thing that forces the balls out of the spiral were the balls beneath them. Such, the last balls were stuck.

Good question. Because there was no way to get the ball up there and stay there without being over weight due to the fact that we had a shooter on it before. We were at 119.8 lbs so we really don't have a whole lot of weight to play with. And 1 ball out of 15 on average that we scored per match isn't much. To say the least, we were happy with the change, considering we were undefeated.
