Re: pic: Team 1732's 2006 robot visits the Humane Society
Thanks Alex. We were 7 lbs over, so the team decided to lose the pneumatics and kept the 2 big and 2 small CIMs to propel the bot through AndyMark shifters, but keep it in low gear (or perhaps try shifting w/ servos). Being new at this, the drivers felt comfortable with this. Although the robot is nearly 5' tall, C.G. is 14" off floor, so ramp climbing works pretty well going up backwards. The Globe powered conveyor loads balls from floor into helix. The center 'turnstile' driven by a F.P. gearmotor moves up to 16 balls upward into the CIM powered shooter, or to the rear for lower goal scoring. The shooter turret (Globe driven) rotates about 160 degrees and can be adjusted by operator via closed loop control. If and when the target is "seen", the camera takes over turret control to (hopefully) lock onto target.
