Ball Centering Video (Team 846)


Hello everyone,

Welcome to a shameless promotion of our new shooter design video! It covers different roller types (single, double, crown, and flat to be exact), and whether or not each type is able to align a ball to its center while spinning. This is useful if you're looking to, say, I don't know, have your shooter consistently score accurate shots into a goal (cough cough). A decentered ball introduces an unknown variable in your procedure, and unknown variables have a tendency to spectacularly ruin your day.

So why not un-ruin your day? More videos like this are in the works, where we analyze a robot-related topic (so you don't have to!) and present our findings to you in bite-sized chunks. We're calling the series "Monkey Box," so stay tuned!

Again, here's the link to the video.

Oh, and feedback is greatly helpful to us in developing future episodes, so do consider dropping a thought or two below.

Happy viewing!
