Re: Team 1678's Autocentering Roller

Very nice! We're playing around with something similar ... still working on selecting the perfect material and/or spinner diameter.

One thing I did notice from the video is that the apparent point of contact is almost halfway up the ball. To me, it looked like it could've been more than 3" into the frame perimeter of the 'bot.

Make sure you take <G46> into account ...

<G46> BALL Penetration Restriction – The BALL must not extend more than 3 inches inside the FRAME PERIMETER as defined in Rule <R19>. Violation: PENALTY for a basic infraction, plus a YELLOW CARD if no immediate attempt to remedy.
