Re: Interesting/Cool Scaling Mechanism Designs
I drove down to the PNW Auburn district on Saturday and stopped by 4060's pit. The bag is inflated by a 550 motor spinning a 3D printed impeller inside of a 3D printed casing. They ensure it doesn't break the 15" rule by folding it back a certain way before each match. The bag is taped (I forget what kind of tape, it was fairly rigid looking stuff however) and the tape gives it some rigidity to stay upright while it's filled with air. There is a string inside of the bag that is attached to a spool on a winch that is used to lift the robot.
