Re: We fixed our roller, Let us know what you think!

Its actually small parts

Another thing that we fixed was the pressure point. At the UTC scrimmage, if anyone saw, we were constantly riding up and over balls. This happened because our pressure point was high up and very closer to the center of the ball. If we rocked the tiniest bit while driving, the balls would find their way under the bot. By adding a lower pressure point(diamond plate) we no longer have that problem. The next problem was, we couldn't go up the ramp with this low point. To fix it, we added a hinge so it moves out of the way. Finally, if you look when we are depositing balls, you can see that the diamond plate is pushed out, away from the base. The reason being, a pneumatic pushes the plate so the balls have an extra push into the goal as well as help us get up or down the ramp with that side forward.
