FIRST Team 1124's Shooter Prototype

Check out our shooter. I think it's pretty good...

Re: FIRST Team 1124's Shooter Prototype

everyone is posting these shooter videos and they work great stationary, but what I want to see is that being aimed on a robot 45 feet away while being assaulted by defense. I think it will be a lot hard than it seems at first unless you do a vision tracking software controlled turret, which in itself will be an immense achievement. Does anyone have information on this

There are many spots on the field where defense can't be played, so teams are generally going to try and shoot from those places. Therefore needing to see video of teams moving about and still scoring seems pointless to me. Robots, for the most part, will be stationary while shooting this year.

Yes but I have another question for you. You maybe able to hit a shot consistently from the key, but you have to be aligned to do that, how hard is it to get lined up? I would be very interested in seeing a team do this successfully. I personally think that it is impossible to score from the key consistently without some sort of camera targeting but I would very much like to see someone prove me wrong.

It would be far more interesting to see the robot and the shooting mechanism. What exactly can one say about balls going through basketball hoops? In the first place, after the first two you will be out of balls to shoot. You'll need to do something about that.

I think this would actually be easily possible, but not in the key. My theory is that a robot would have to use the bridge and the wall, the divider and the bridge, or a corner like that. That way, they can easily align themselves everytime and used a fixed angle and speed to consistently score.

Your point, though it has some merit, isn't related at all to what 1124 is demonstrating here.

Building a device to reliably score basketballs is one challenge. Putting that device into the proper position for it to function is a separate challenge.

A successful team will solve both of those challenges. It makes sense, though, to demonstrate that you can solve one before worrying about the other.
