Frisbee pickup. Push this onto a Frisbee from the top, and it pops into a vertical hopper.

Re: pic: 1829 Carbonauts Teaser

Frisbee hopper? (Or above)

Re: pic: 1829 Carbonauts Teaser

clearly their climbing mechanism :rolleyes:

You may want to check the rules I'm not sure if an arc reactor wold be allowed on the robot

And how are the metal brackets mounted to the board?

Re: pic: 1829 Carbonauts Teaser

those are two different halves to your shooter, I believe I can see two cuts in each of the circle's. making them halves. the flanges are to contain the top of the Frisbee and the middle circle and the bottom of the outside circle are rails for the Frisbee to ride on.

/thread

NEXT!

Re: pic: 1829 Carbonauts Teaser

Upon closer review of the picture, there are only cuts on the one side of each circle.

Therefore it is a hopper that helix's us to your shooter.

yes??

Or the method of cutting out the center of each circle required them to make the cuts

have you heard of a jig saw? and drilling a hole first?

Yes!
I just did that earlier today. It was just an idea.

Re: pic: 1829 Carbonauts Teaser

This is obviously a holder for a frisbee sample. I assume that you are using a colored frisbee as a physical sample on your robot to calibrate your vision system to the changing lighting conditions on the field, similar to the calibration unit on the Mars Science Laboratory rover.

Look at the writing on the protective covering on the polycarb. Using that to guess the scale, it seems like it's far larger than a single frisbee.

I'm going with some sort of spiraling and/or rotating frisbee storage.

It does look like it, doesn't it?

Well, now that's an idea. Might have to let vision tracking people know about that one.

It is a Frisbee pick up device that works like one of those bags that pick up golf balls. We prototyped an identical device using surgical tubing going around the bucket.
