Re: pic: Dawgma 1712 Week 4

this is a final configuration. you cant see it in the picture but there is a camera mounted on top of the conveyor system. it works pretty well, we can get about 4 out of 5 orbit balls into the trailer at a time. We have video, it will be posted soon.

we found that running it with one CIM, while it was enough torque to start the mechanism over time it would draw tons of amps...if you haven't been in the loop about polycord having that many belts of it with only 3% extra on each causes a lot of tension, especially on that center roller.

some time soon we will be sure to post more pictures and video so be on the look out for it.

let me know if you have any more questions.
