It's the shooter! It looks great and i guess the last pic was a pic of the mechanism which will transport the balls from the hopper to the shooter.

Aren't you guys running out of time to get this powdercoated? Or, is this from a while ago. Oh NO, IS THE PINK TEAM NOT PINK THIS YEAR!?!?!? :ahh:

Re: pic: THINK PINK Teaser 04
 

Pink team without a pink robot? That's almost heretical...

Re: pic: THINK PINK Teaser 04
 

Now I think I know how this is going to work. The middle roller is powered, and the outer rails form a helix. By spinning the middle roller, the balls will be forced up the helix and into the shooter, which is mounted on a turret. If it is what I think it is, that is one really nice design. I cannot wait to see this robot in Atlanta this year. :)

if thats true... holy crap.
thats just asking for jamming up with the tolerances we can pull out... but heh. btw does powdercoating weight much?

Re: pic: THINK PINK Teaser 04
 

powdercoating is actually pretty heavy... it can add about 3 lbs or so.. give or take (i'm sorry i cant give you an exact number right now), depending on how much of the actual robot we want pink. :) its a lot of weight to sacrifice, but its well worth it!
