Whats the gray gearbox on the cim in the top left-ish? Doesn't look like any I recognize.

Looks like a GEM gearbox.

Re: pic: 4587 CAD (With a Shooter Mech.)
Huh, I forgot about those.

Re: pic: 4587 CAD (With a Shooter Mech.)
You guys were correct it is the AM GEM Gearbox with 4 stages. We ran those last year on our climber and we were very pleased with their performance. One of those boxes with 3 stages had enough power to pivot our entire robot back and forth for our climbing mechanism. They are pretty tough too.

Does the roller on the arm interfere at all with the trajectory of the shot?

Re: pic: 4587 CAD (With a Shooter Mech.)
Not at all, before we shoot we plan to open up the jaws all the way (or just enough) with the gearbox mounted on that pivot point. You can see it here:
http://prntscr.com/2mnlyy The ball will have a straight path out of the shooter other than the two prongs keeping it in the shooter at the bottom. The arm will also be able to open really wide to catch as well. Logistics of that are still being worked out. |

Ah there's that shooter that I couldn't find on the last picture!

Is anybody else doing this? Some members of our team really liked it, but we've seen many prototypes with pneumatic cylinders that hit the ball which fail miserably. Would a hammer/arm work well with this idea?
Thanks in advance :) |
