1793 week 4 1/2
 

After few weeks of designing, prototyping, and holding stuff up to the frame, we have attached our first fully mechanized ...thing... that isn't a wheel on a toughbox.

that looks quite familiar...maybe a little bit like our accumulator...I hope you guys are going to do something to prevent the orbit balls from getting into your drive train.

good luck guys!

What happens next in your design?

Re: 1793 week 4 1/2
 

Phase 1: collect orbit balls
Phase 2:
Phase 3: score

Any questions?

Re: 1793 week 4 1/2
 

Shouldn't it be:

Phase 1: Collect Orbit Balls
Phase 2: ???
Phase 3: Profit!

Re: 1793 week 4 1/2
 

Very nice video...enjoyed watching it tremendously!
Way to go and good luck in your season and competitions!

Re: 1793 week 4 1/2
 

"Phase 3: Profit!"
That's even less likely than scoring, FIRST is a non-profit organization after all.

There is a hint to the design in the video description...

Re: 1793 week 4 1/2
 

The amazing part?

A team here has managed it...

1. Make orbit ball kits
2. ???
3. Profit!!!
