Harvesting balls

Here is a video of our solution to harvesting the balls from the floor. Well we call it a harvester since it looks like a combine.

Very slick! What did you use to attach the pneumatic tubing to the ABS?

Re: Harvesting balls

looks good, its really nicely puting the ball into the robot in the same spot every time.

We just drilled a very snug hole, but we plan on "shoe Goo" or "Plumber's Goop" ing them in

Very nice! I'm assuming based on the fact you released this video so early in the season you don't mind if our team borrows from this idea?

We share everything! Its the GP way. If all good ideas were swaped more often the level of play can only go up! We have used other ideas from other teams and we are grateful. We are always trying to return the favor! Use away!

Re: Harvesting balls

Looks very repeatable, nice. If the chassis is also shown you will need to change the front a bit. I think you need at least 6" on each side of your harvester.

Re: Harvesting balls

We have almost the exact same mechanism on our robot except we're using the ends off of a push broom for the brushes. :D
