Re: Team 241's Turret Prototype ontop of the Harvester Prototype
The reason we sort of stood away from a turret design was because of accuracy, but it seems a lot of teams have overcame that challenge, and will probably be some of the better competition this season.
Kudos to those who can master the turrets! |

Our shooting mechanism is not quite finished yet, but it seems to me that the Orbit balls with 1 or 2 bands broken still provide enough resistance to compression to allow them to be expelled from these types of shooters. They certainly won't go where they are supposed to, but I don't think they will jam up as easily as you seem to think they will.

Excellent work team 241! Good luck to you during your competition. We have a similar concept (team 2594). Visit our posts: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...highlight=2594
8 days left! :ahh: |

It can be frustrating to watch a robot that "seems" like it completely built by mentors totally dominate your "dinky" student-built bot, but it makes the next build season that much more interesting. The important thing in FIRST, is what the students come out with, not the by-products of that goal. And I would love to work at that company also, Elgin! ;) |

Do mentors/teachers consult and have influence ? Sure: 1) Nurturing parental and sponsor relationships 2) Teaching students technology and engineering: encourage: a) safety, safety, safety b) thinking about making it simpler, stronger, lighter and more reliable- c) finishing it sooner, rather than later: a finished imperfect but workable alpha solution in the can, makes working on a potential beta a lot less stressful. d) Use of math and physics e) looking it up in reference material (including Chief Delphi!) f) learning from failures as well as successes g) not leaving a mess! (For some reason, some teenage students sometimes don't think about these things) BTW, I'm a telecommunications engineer by profession and I've never been part of a robotics team before.
