"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. (:

O you will. You will. On Einstein. Just you know throwing that out there. And yay for broken PVC pieces on the trailer.

That assumes I'm on Einstein again this year... which could happen, but I would be on the volunteer side this year. (I did sign up to volunteer at the Championship, but I have to make sure MIT can live without me for a few days first ;))

WOW dustin, you guys finished the CAD quick and the robot. Extremely cool looking, hope to see you at nationals.

I haven't touched the CAD Since I last showed you haha. I'm boycotting Inventor for a while.

very cool.

can you describe how the functions work together, ball handling, etc

Sure,

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...

Your skill in pointing out the obvious has increased by one ;)

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

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?
