610 - Official Test #1, We suck balls good
 

today (Sunday) team 610 tested our robot for the first time and we'll the video speaks for its self. http://media.putfile.com/610---We-suck-balls-good

20+ balls picked up, without missing one. What you see in the video is our 80% finished robot with all belting on, only missing our cannon which is being finished. We are at the point where we can start tweaking and do that thing they call 'autonomous programing' :eek: .

(oh, and thats me on the floor at the end of the video)

looks nice, the robot seems to pick up the balls really nicely, and has no trouble storing 20.

my neck is just sore now :D

Wow. That does suck.:D

Re: 610 - Official Test #1, We suck balls good
 

Where will the cannon be located?

Re: 610 - Official Test #1, We suck balls good
 

it goes on the back, in front of the back conveyor. It will stick out over the hopper.

Re: 610 - Official Test #1, We suck balls good
 

What motor are you using there to pick of the balls?

Re: 610 - Official Test #1, We suck balls good
 

Who says the balls will be aranged in a linear fashion? I do agree though. That is quite impressive. I hope ours does that. What is the linear speed of your conveyor?

Re: 610 - Official Test #1, We suck balls good
 

a FP with a 25:1 gearbox. Works really well, doesn't draw too much current or heat up too much. Oh and picks them up really fast.

Re: 610 - Official Test #1, We suck balls good
 

Very cool sucker. Now if you can just get 20 balls to line up you'll be all set :D

your title makes me want to crack several jokes, but I prefer to maintain my status as a member of the chiefdelphi forums, so I will restrain myself.

to say something of meaning, that harvester resembles our 2004 bot's harvester.
