Awesome job guys! :D

I looks like you got the kicker to stop 2 in. outside of the frame...and get that much power. Thats pretty impressive :)

Re: Team 61 Has a Kicker

I couldn't help but notice how long it took between kicks. Is that using the measly 60 psi we're limited to? If so, HOW ON EARTH ARE YOU GETTING THAT DISTANCE?:ahh: :ahh: :ahh: :confused: :confused:

i believe they were kicking at 100 psi

Rule <R-76> states:

Quote:

“Working” air pressure on the ROBOT must be no greater than 60psi. All working air must be provided through one primary Norgen adjustable pressure regulator.

Re: Team 61 Has a Kicker

Let me clarify, we're not using air pressure to kick! Depending on the distance, we may use air as a "brake" to change our distance, but our main power is elastic.

We're using elastic surgical tubing on a lever to kick, with about 100 pounds of tension on the bands. We're using pneumatics to recoil the leg, and it's attached to the far bottom where only about 30-40 pounds of pressure are needed to pull it back. It only takes about 3 seconds to pull the foot back in, it's just that it's running on 3 solenoids and we have to be manually flipping those switches till the robot is programmed.

That being said, we can only get 2 kicks off with one charge of the cylinder. We're going to have an on board compressor.

I apologise about the misunderstanding as i am not directly connected with the engineering of the robot and am just told to film

Re: Team 61 Has a Kicker

just a note to all: a new video has been posted, the functionality and construction is very much easier to see in this one!

Re: Team 61 Has a Kicker

a note to all a new video has been made so that you can better see the inner workings of the kicker!
