One of the best all-around robots I've seen this year.

The speed of the intake amazes me, great job guys! Is the shooter pneumatic or mechanical?

That's a very innovative and cool solution to catching. Very original. I can't wait to see it in action!

Thanks! It's mechanical, powered by surgical tubing. A CIM pulls it back and it gets released by a ball shifter.

Re: Team 604 Presents: Skyhammer

This is most impressive. A lot of teams are going to love tossing passes to this robot.

How well does it catch when the truss shot hits the extended arms rather than the center? Is the catch automated in any way?

There are a few clips (such as the one at 0:35) where the ball doesn't hit the center. It seems to catch pretty well, though we are planning for ways to further dampen the ball so it doesn't bounce as much. The catch isn't automated (the driver must manually close the arms), but the self-catch at the very end is automated. We may look at automating the catch in the future if we can prove it's more reliable than manually controlling it.

Re: Team 604 Presents: Skyhammer

That is one cool launcher. I have a feeling that you are going to rule out on the field.
