Re: pic: Cyber Blue Competition Robot R2

Some stats from the other thread:

Drive:
4WD powered by CIM through AM GEM500 Planetary Gearbox
Rear wheels direct driven, chained to front
Acceleration control system and traction control on driver command

Pick-up:
Urethane belting powered by CIM and approx 3:1 sprocket reduction
Constant speed coding allowing more power to motors as balls are picked up

Hopper/Scorer:
Urethane belting floor powers balls out of hopper and keeps them "agitated" and prevents settling
Pneumatically actuated door
Can hold 15-20 balls before they start to spill over the sides
Ultrasonic range finders relay robot-to-trailer position to our drivers so we don't miss a dump
Can unload all 20 balls in under 2 seconds
