My guess:
A contraption for the ramp. |
Re: pic: 245 Teaser
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.

Re: pic: 245 Teaser
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 |

Re: pic: 245 Teaser
wow.. thanks, that really is a incredible design then. :eek:

Re: pic: 245 Teaser
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)

Re: pic: 245 Teaser
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.

Re: pic: 245 Teaser
Hm..seems like other people are using cam's on their robots aswell :p

Re: pic: 245 Teaser
Alex, it seems like if you have the ramps drop off of the front and back of the robot, and all cams are facing the same direction, then driving in one direction would rotate all cams and lift both platforms.

Re: pic: 245 Teaser
That looks like Andy Mark Treads, tracked wheels perhaps?
|
Re: pic: 245 Teaser
This is an amazing idea.

it actually is a very nice simple idea. |
Re: pic: 245 Teaser
So how much pulling force do you need to get the lift done?
|
Re: pic: 245 Teaser
Not much, My guess is about 10-20 lbs of pulling/robot I'm guessing. I could pull it with just my arms (I'm not a very strong person).
|
Re: pic: 245 Teaser
what happens when the power goes off?
|
Re: pic: 245 Teaser
Unless the robot suddenly moves/jerks when the power is shut off then we won't have any problem (yes that's right there's no electricity involved).
