"Ur doing it backwerdz!!! O.O"
lol Man that thing looks awesome. I love the simplicity in design. Very impressive that you guys got this out so quickly. hit me up if you need coding help. Honestly, you guys are one of the few teams I can't wait to compete with this year. Make it an awesome season man. Way to rep the EWCP :cool: P.S. This is a very nice belated birthday present. hehe |

Neato! That looks like a solid design, and a good example of KISS. Its simplicity and color scheme make it aesthetically pleasing. All around awesome. I hope I'll be able to see it personally at some point. (:

The Front Roller Is A Banebot RS545 with a 20:1 Transmission that spins at about 600 rpm. This Sucks Balls into a hopper which is the blue area in the front. The Black Roller at the bottom and the orange one in the middle are connected with a belt that acts as a conveyor system for the balls. This is powered by a fisher price motor with gearbox. The Top Most Roller is powered by a Globe with about a 1:4 Ratio and it spins pretty quickly for being Globe Powered. This roller acts as a stop so that balls can be staged in the conveyor system or we can reverse it and it helps pop the balls out. |

Might need to double take at the picture as a lot of the lexan backing is missing right now.
Just thought I'd add that in there... |

Danny, just cuz you think you're cool doesn't mean its true. :cool:

Re: pic: 816 as of 1-24-09
Is the kinda "gut" area between the intake roller and conveyor belt system used for storage, or is it blocked off with lexan so the balls can't bunch up? How many balls can the system hold? How well does that front roller grab running at 600rpm? What sort of compression do you put on the balls for the front roller and conveyor system? Sorry about all the questions, looks like a pretty slick design, post video soon please :D

Re: pic: 816 as of 1-24-09
I don't know if you've already got something planned, but have you thought about protecting the intake roller?
On impacting the corner of another robot, the contact may not be bumper-to-bumper, but rather the edge of the other robot (usually reinforced or supported) to the centre of your roller. Perhaps the roller is designed to take this kind of hit, but it would be a shame to see a nice looking robot like that out of commission due to a weak point. Assuming the roller IS designed for a full-on impact, if the relative velocity of the two robots is at an angle, can the roller mounts take a sideways impact force? Jason |

I believe that Small Parts sells it...this ought to be it. (188 used it for a hybrid wheel-tread thing on the 1999 drivetrain.) |

Re: pic: 816 as of 1-24-09
It looks like this V-Belt belting from McMaster: 6173K41. Not sure if that's the right width, or if that's the right stuff, but it looked familiar when I saw that picture and I remembered seeing it when looking at belts.
It may or may not be it for people looking for the same stuff. -Greg P. |
Re: pic: 816 as of 1-24-09
Dan & Dustin, where are you guys competing this year?
Edit: Never mind, TBA says Philly again & NJ? Too bad you won't be in NYC with us. Looks like another awesome bot by 816 this year after last year's cool bot as well! |
Re: pic: 816 as of 1-24-09
Another request - that belting looks neat - what is it? where'd you get it?

In Robot News! During School today I rigged the motors together to see how everything's going to work and it looks good. Our Capacity should exceed 20 and we can score 3 at at time with about a 90% success rate. It takes about 3-4 Seconds to offload 10 balls. Might Have Video Tomorrow or Thursday But I can't promise anything until Friday-Saturday. |
Re: pic: 816 as of 1-24-09
Woa how many belts are there?:confused:
