269's Rollers
I'm at school right now so I don't have pics avalible, but I can add those later......
Our goal was to collect alot of balls in minimal time, dump, and then do it again.....Which we accomplished with our rollers.
Basically we had 8 pieces of PVC connected with belts, and they then had plastic tubing wrapped around them, we had it connected on the drill motors, the balls went up through the rollers into our basket and basket goes up, dump into goal and back down....We could collect 10 balls in about 9 seconds and averaged 2 dumps a match, our best match had 3 dumps and 28 balls in the goal.
Our main problem during construction of the system was the basket, we first wanted a PVC basket to be able to hold more balls, but we had trouble finding ways to lift it, so we went with a basic aluminum basket raised by string on tracks
Its kinda hard to see without pics...Ill add some when I get home...
