Re: paper: [Ri3D] The GreenHorns 2016 Present: Rivvet

Anything is possible with a dedicated software mentor and some time. I would never discourage a team from trying new things and growing their knowledge base. If vision doesn't work how you want, just be sure to have contigency plan!

I'd love to comment on a picture so I can give it a fair assessment. Here's what I can say: If your shooter is mounted on a live axle (for example a hex axle that rotates with the shooter) then you should easily be able to drive the shooter up and down via a hex sprocket on the live axle, and another sprocket on your Gem 500. I'd use #35 chain. You shouldn't need to direct drive the shooter axle, and doing so would be harder to implement I think.

There are benefits to being addicted to Chief Delphi. Quick replies being one of them.
