My guess:

A contraption for the ramp.

What a great idea! Using a cam for lifting against the ground is a unique way of levitating robots.

Re: pic: 245 Teaser
 

Brilliant idea! That's a pretty smart way to get some lift.

Reminds me of 16's cams in 2004.

Re: pic: 245 Teaser
 

yeah that was one of our ideas this year.

Re: pic: 245 Teaser
 

thats brilliant! but i've got some questions for you;

what kinda motor is driving that?
how long does it take to lift?
is it lifting 4" or 12"?
and are you lifting one or two robots?

thanks

None, our drivetrain simply pulls forward (yeah, it's that strong)
<2 sec, it's just driving forward.
12" (for both)
One or two, doesn't matter.

wow.. thanks, that really is a incredible design then. :eek:

Great mechanism! Just toss two of those onto your 2005 bot and you might have similar results to 2005. (or at least one can hope so)

Wow, I have been talking to my VEX team about using a cam design for grasping the bar. This will be a really great visual aid to show them. Great Idea guys.
