Re: FRC Team 3880 - Tiki Techs Reveal

Mahalo!

Correct! The shim (aka ramp) that the student built in feeder had a poor transition and caused the disc to either hang or pop up.
They ended up tossing them in by hand which caused some delays in fulling loading.
Moving the prop from the auto shop into the library might not of helped keep it together either. We expected this.

Not a problem, as the entire diverter assembly is adjustable and will be tuned up at the venue.
The miss load in video actually worked out as a great way to showcase the intake.
Though I suspect we will be collecting at the scoring end more than the feeding station.

Score the pyramid right away. I agree!!
Must of been thinking of the end game while I was typing.
Not sure why I put that in. I think I need rest, go figure...
We shall see how many colored discs will be left for us with all the excellent climbing dump bots.

Good luck this season!
