Perhaps in another 10 or so years we can start building pyramid robots, for now I suppose a standard square frame might do the job best! |
I do PR, too, and know the difficult transition of going from PR to mechanical. You have to start thinking about what's practical. To tell you the truth, I loved your idea. It was one of the best things I've heard all day! The only thing is, HOW are you going to do it? How will you make the vacuum get the balls to exactly where you want, then have a hand find the balls, grasp them, and then score? One thing I still forget to do is remember to think of HOW I'd do things.
But the main part is that you tried, and used your mind to engineer something. As I tell my team members, "there is no such thing as a stupid idea, just stupid implementation".
Anywho, good luck this year, thanks for asking the question, and keep using your head! I love to see when people use their heads, even if what comes out isn't the best.
