How well do those small cylinders lift the ball? They just look a bit punnie in comparison to the 2'' monsters on the launcher. We tried one 1.5'' by 10'' cylinder mounted in the center ( with mixed results).

Re: pic: Team 375 DONE!!!!!!
looks exactly like our bot except we can't lanch:(
|
Re: pic: Team 375 DONE!!!!!!
I think you mean 1726. 342 also took this approach, but we are waiting for our shiny decals before we post pics.
Question: We all seem to be using pneumatics for our forks to pick up the ball. We tried to use one 1.5" piston in the center, but we are having a hard time finding the right geometry. Any tips? |
Re: pic: Team 375 DONE!!!!!!
yeah, put the cylinder on the side! and leave as much room as possible for the ball

Re: pic: Team 375 DONE!!!!!!
were using tiny pistons, they work great for us. Unfortunately i can not share their sizes or angles
|
Re: pic: Team 375 DONE!!!!!!
Yeah, having two small bore pistons would be the best way to go, so you don't have to deal with all that torque trying to tear the lifting arm apart.
|
Re: pic: Team 375 DONE!!!!!!
Is the torque why you are using the ABS tube on your lifter for? To min the effect of the torque?
|
Re: pic: Team 375 DONE!!!!!!
That's right.

NICE!
A sample scoop and launch system! It looks like low maintenance and trouble free layout. Can't wait to see it in action. :) |
Re: pic: Team 375 DONE!!!!!!
I'm pretty disappointed about the conspicuous absence of camo on your bumpers, but I'm glad to see the return of the tennis balls. See you at Pittsburgh.

WOW!
Excellent video on youtube of the 375 machine, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bw8X3KtWFhM :yikes: |
Re: pic: Team 375 DONE!!!!!!
Out of curiosity, what is the metal you have fastened to your bumpers? I'm not sure that it is legal.

regulation angle aluminum, or iron?
|
Re: pic: Team 375 DONE!!!!!!
aluminum ( sorry for the confusion, we call it angle iron)
|
Re: pic: Team 375 DONE!!!!!!
no problem, I do that too! force of habit
|
Re: pic: Team 375 DONE!!!!!!
i am really interested to see the launchers this year, even though i think the better robots might be the arms. That's just my opinion, but the launchers look crazy awesome this year
