Re: Drop down stationary drive train
In 2003 we had a plate under the robot (our "foot") on a short pneumatic. It was covered in sorbothane. When depressed our robot was pretty much immobile on top of the ramp. If you can make a shooter that is very accurate in close, this is not a bad idea. Particularly if you have some leeway (via articulation or speed control) so that it does not have to be "inch perfect" when lined up.
