I also like how deftly your motorized intake manipulates game pieces.  |
The tubes were ordered from McMasterCarr. They are impact-resistant polycarbonate tubes, comparable to Lexan. They have an ID of 3/4", OD of 7/8", thickness of 1/16".
The hooks on the end were printed with our Makerbot Replicator 2. PLA plastic.
There's a few more 3D printed parts on our bot. The whole string guide assembly to pull the hooks up is 3D printed.
Also, thanks Breakaway! Can't wait to see you guys there. Hopefully we can get some good practice matches in together like last year and sweep bayou 2 years in a row
