Awesome! Are you intending to launch a row of balls, like you did in the beginning of the clip, at competition? If so how accurate is that?

Re: TechnoKats Teaser Video #1.5
 

In the interest of making it as easy as possible for people to view your most awesome video clip, I have compressed it to a more manageable size for distribution on the internet. This comes with a quality loss, but 840kB is a bit more manageable than 4.9 MB.

It requires QuickTime 6 or later.

I'm thinking it's about time the piemaster gets a Mac. Or at least QT... ;)

Well, one thing has now been confirmed by that teaser - we now know that the ball feeder is really Kyle :yikes:

ok its working for me now, guess it was just the fact that I WAS USING A MAC! :ahh: :ahh: :ahh: Looks interesting, how well does it aim?

Since a lot of teams decided to use AndyMark's product, Andy had to come up with a totally new idea. He decided to send kyle out on the field as part of the robot.

I'm pretty baffled by the implications of such a device. I could see it being used to collect balls but it doesn't look like its built for such a purpose. It certaintly has the strength to launch a ball into a goal, but its far too wide to be precise. And launching 4 at a time doesn't seem like a very feasible idea so I see no reason to make it able to. I'm sure i'll be proven wrong though and the technokats will launch 4 balls into a goal at a time... I'm always proven wrong. Somebody always does the impossible. Not that i'm complaining but I want more than a teaser!

Then again, it is only a teaser....Im sure theres some major detail they're leaving out. Those guys definately know what they're doing and the end result should be impressive as usual

Re: TechnoKats Teaser Video #1.5
 

how ironic would it be if team 45 wasnt using an andymark gearbox on thier bot.... that would make me laugh quite hard.

Re: TechnoKats Teaser Video #1.5
 

That was pretty cool, we were also thinking about using a wide roller to launch 2 balls at once, but it was too inaccurate and plus our roller loss too much speed, but yours has alot of power.

Re: TechnoKats Teaser Video #1.5
 

Ya I think it just comes from having a lot of mass in your rollers. Oh and wow that thing is incredibly wide.

Re: TechnoKats Teaser Video #1.5
 

Great teaser. We will be looking forward to your competition design.

I kind of like the way it winds up, jet engine like. It must be that Rolls-Royce jet engine influence from Indiana. Drivers now must wear hearing protection and safety glasses.

Fast massive infusion of balls into the corner goal?
