Re: Innovative designs

Team 710's robot was made almost entirely in a family room using a drill press and band saw, innovative would be the blockers they had made out of pvc and mesh netting. Also they're rollers for ball pick up were originally my mom's cookie rollers.
Very cool! That's the first time I've heard of kitchen implements being used

We like omniwheels. But we don't have the ablity to machine them, and don't feel like paying for them. So... we wrap skyway wheels in rip-stop nylon. Slippery, cheap, and no machining.
I'm diggin it. Did you have any "bunching" issues?

Team 188 from Woburn - used paint rollers to pickup and transport balls to their shooter. They can capture and shoot 3 balls at a time (ball path is 3 balls wide!).
This is one of those "why didn't I think of that?" designs!
