Re: Use of Lead Screw
We used a lead screw in our 2011 robot. It had a 'duck bill' that clamped on tubes; this is what the lead screw as used for. It was surprisingly fast; we used one of the Banebots (not a 775, but not the smallest one either). It clamped on a tube in about .5 seconds. The one odd thing was, considering the fact that it is essentially a worm gear, it wasn't terribly powerful. The tubes could still be pried out, and the bill forced up and down.
