Pneumatic catapult?

Is this seriously your finished drive, or an old one :P

(Although I don't doubt you could have gotten it all fabricated that fast. haha)

Re: pic: 114's completed robot
 

You figure it out. I'm sure you've got enough photos of all our old bots to be able to tell. :P

Re: pic: 114's completed robot
 

That's a no then huh :(

Re: pic: 114's completed robot
 

hey, it looks good, now you have time to practice, jk, lol, maybe.

Re: pic: 114's completed robot
 

So is this a joke?

Or is this just a frame and electrical stuff and the ball stays on the top of the chasis??:P

Do you have another photo to put??

How do you guys think to take the ball down??

I am little confused on the photo.. Another photo will help me to understand your robot:)

lol
a magician never reveals their secrets...nor does a FIRST team reveal their robot

espicially this early! it's probably the bare start or an old robot

Take a close look. The chassis is from last season. In fact, this is just a teaser. There are no such thing as a "catapult" on that robot. The ball is simply sitting on the chassis. Our team has tried few different ideas to launch it or use a catapult. It takes a lot of force to get that ball to launch upwards. I would be very surprised if I see a team succeed at launching the ball more than 20".

if this isnt a joke, ill eat my hat

Re: pic: 114's completed robot
 

Aw, ruined all the fun. But yeah, this is the 07 Drive Base. We were using it to get a feel of the ball with a robot, and so I snapped a picture and claimed it was complete.

As for a launcher that can achieve more than 20 feet, just you wait and see.

Re: pic: 114's completed robot
 

could you give us a preview of that?

possibly a picture of the ball in mid flight? :D

Re: pic: 114's completed robot
 

Nope.

Re: pic: 114's completed robot
 

is this all of the preview we get, or is there more to come?

Re: pic: 114's completed robot
 

Craig, sometimes it's okay to share. I understand that there are teams who likes to keep their robot a "secret," but at the same time if some other team needs help they show them the right path to go along; sometimes even design it for them. It is known as Gracious Professionalism.

I really would like to see a ball launch over 20 ft. I say I don't think you can launch it that high. Prove me wrong.
