Your launching abilities look very nice. Just wondering, how long does it take for you to pick up a ball, do a lap, and score a hurdle?

[sayso_411]

I think on an empty court we had a +/- 16 sec. laps with everything (ball pickup, hurdle, etc..)

[RKElectricalman]

Well, a lap without the ball was 15secs. A lap capturing the ball and launch was about, 18 - 20 secs. Certain laps were faster than that, but that's our average. That was in the beginning when our arm operator (Sayso) was getting use to the controls.

Which one? Championship Sparky 7 or VCU Sparky 7? I think Championship Sparky 7 was one of the best shooters out there and is easily better than this years, though, this year you can pick up off of the ground, which is something "we" lacked with 7.

I really want to see more about this robot and up close to figure out how the whole thing works and moves, the whole kenetic aspect behind it. Get some more pics and vidoes up on sparky384.com guys!
