What I was thinking was modifying 254's desigin silightly so a turret like the one featured on 118's 2012 robot ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qWiIx_SzIE). This would allow 306 degree shooting and the ability of angle adjustment. This could make a 3 ball auto scoring all three in the hot goal possible because of the quick re aiming of the shooter. With a good vision processing program for assisted aiming this could be very interesting and will probably be pursued by my team. What do you guys think? I will probably start CAD soon ish. |
254 already scores all 3 balls in the hot goal during autonomous. Their reasoning for the wheeled shooter was partly that it could get all 3 shots off within those last five seconds.
