Re: How to pick up a frisbee
Getting back to the thread title, how does one pick up a disk from the floor?
If we postulate a bot 24" wide, we can put rails near the floor (high enough to clear field imperfections) both fromt and back that funnel the disks to a given spot near robot center. Then, when a disk is detected in the right spot, rollers on both sides pop the disk up a bit. Something captures the disk and sends it off for further processing, maybe a pneumatic cylinder kicks it forward or something.
The rollers would be somewhat small diameter so they can catch the edge of the disk, maybe with little fingers of tubing instead of a solid foam/soft surface.
