Does that intake work with bumpers on the robot?

Re: #383 ball launcher system teaser
 

I was thinking the same thing. That dip on the intake side looks lower than 7 in off the ground.

Nice to see another solid machine from our pals from down south. :)

That is incredible! that shoots really powerful.

nice to see something different! awesome work

Re: #383 ball launcher system teaser
 

How much does the compression of a ball affect the shot? Have you tried with balls blown up to different sizes yet?

Re: #383 ball launcher system teaser
 

Hi,

I can't tell you exactly how much pressure there is, but, as you can see, in the video there are 2 balls (red and Blue), and they got a big pressure difference between them.

We tested many times the difference on the range with the 2 balls, but there is a limit distance in which it's irrelevant.

Awesome concept, even more impressive packaging.
It's a shame we won't be seeing you guys traveling up here to New England anymore.
Good luck this season.

So cool. My favorite robot so far!

New video from test #3:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32cyE4vHi_A

4 shots:
* #1 - close range: 7'5"
* #2 - medium range: 18'7"
* #3 - long range: 24'6"
* #4 - Truss

(sorry for the uncut video)

Re: #383 ball launcher system teaser
 

Putting backspin on that truss shot is really clever and something I doubt most shooter could do. Was it intentionally designed to keep the ball from rolling forward in case of a missed catch as well?

Re: #383 ball launcher system teaser
 

Thakns a lot! And, yes it is!:cool:

Re: #383 ball launcher system teaser
 

Looks great guys, I love the variability that the wheels allow you to build into the shots.

Re: #383 ball launcher system teaser
 

Thanks!!!

Also, tomorrow, by the midnight here in Brazil (22:00 EST), i will create a new thread for the robot 100% done, with a video in better quality, but i will keep uploading robot photos for today and tomorrow here!
