Something we were working on today...

You'll need the DivX player to view this file.

Haha, nice music.

Re: The Knights Who Say Nee (1341)'s Shooter Prototype
 

What system are you using to throw the ball? One wheel or two?

Re: The Knights Who Say Nee (1341)'s Shooter Prototype
 

My first thought to....

Oh and nice shooter. ;) Actually looked fairly accurate and with good distance.

Re: The Knights Who Say Nee (1341)'s Shooter Prototype
 

Quite possibly the best music ever for a FRC video!

Re: The Knights Who Say Nee (1341)'s Shooter Prototype
 

Music anyone can appreciate. Looks sweet, but why not use robot motors instead of a power drill? I hate to come off as a bragger from this but we set up a couple of CIM motors to a couple of wheels and got some really nice results. I knew we should have taken a video of it...

Re: The Knights Who Say Nee (1341)'s Shooter Prototype
 

umm it's a prototype. Prototypes are done to get a loose idea of how a mechanism would work. Or even if it could work. Not to mention prototypes are done usually as quickly as they can so, it's there to give them an idea. But it sounds nice that you have Kit motors in yours...it'd help if we got to see it.

Another thing, this prototype, is functioning better than any others I've seen so far this season. I encourage everyone to show their prototype, what's the google camera there for?

great job 1341

Re: The Knights Who Say Nee (1341)'s Shooter Prototype
 

Wow, that looks great. Love the music too. Yeah I'm finding that the shooting mechanisms can be quite accurate/consistent. There may be more shooters in this game than we first thought.

Re: The Knights Who Say Nee (1341)'s Shooter Prototype
 

So, again, is it a single or double driven wheel configuration? Please elaborate.

Re: The Knights Who Say Nee (1341)'s Shooter Prototype
 

That's a good shooter, it just seems like it takes a while to aim.

It's spelled "ni."

Re: The Knights Who Say Nee (1341)'s Shooter Prototype
 

can you make a better shot of the video so we can see how it's built and what kind of mechanisms are being used? perfect music by the way. :D :D :cool:

Re: The Knights Who Say Nee (1341)'s Shooter Prototype
 

We get that from 1/10 people we talk to. We know it's really spelled "Ni," yet many people might then say it "The Knights Who Say Nigh." To aid them in prononciation, we use "Nee."

Sure, only problem is that the video camera is broken and it won't be back from the shop for another 25 days, after ship. Sorry! :)

Re: The Knights Who Say Nee (1341)'s Shooter Prototype
 

cool that would help us sooo much! we don't have a single prototype that's working.

I prefer Cake's version of Mahna Mahna my self, but nice choice of a classic song.

Drove my roommate nuts with it one day by playing it every ten minutes. One of those songs that just stays in your head and never stops.
