That shooter looks really awesome! Once again, the sheet metal work is awesome and I really like those wheels. Great job!

What motors do you have running the flywheels?

[indubitably]

It's too bad Wisconsin and Midwest are at the same time this year, would love to see the final product in person.

Looks incredible. Hopefully we will see you in St. Louis.

Looks like we got beat in the style (and probably functionality) department. Again.

But besides that, I'm curious to know how you guys are going to avoid dead zones at the bottom of the turret because, from what I can see the geometry looks really close to having one.

We are running 4 RS775 into one gearbox.

Whoa! It better spin up fast.

Also, I really like the different sized wheels to give it spin. I think it's a better solution than running some at less than full power.

This is SOOOOO AWESOME... On a side note... Waterjet?

[Jamie Kalb]

Looks excellent!

For the figure-8 polycord wrap, are you doing anything special to limit/prevent the belt from rubbing against itself?

Close, we laser 90% of our metal, we do have access to water jet but its faster for us to laser.

I really like that polychord wrap! To get the same effect in our ball intake system, my team went with a chain path that looks a bit like the star trek logo. Your design looks like it is a simpler and better solution.

From other content that i have seen of your robot, it looks like you have a wide tower (using polycord) that funnels the balls near the top as they enter the shooter. What I am really curious about is how you pick up balls from the ground (if you do) and how well your taller robot goes over the bump, as far as tippiness goes. Overall 2826's robot looks similar to 1716's, and we are excited to see you at the Wisconsin Regional this year.

BTW, will 2826 be at the Sussex Mini Regional this year? We will.

We should put more fancy curves on our design next year!


Wave: Your shooter looks pretty good, do you have the ability to apply backspin to the ball?

I think we have seen the same content and I have same questions. I'm guessing they will have a drop down ball collector or be human loaded (kinda similar to 254 in 2006). If its the later, I hope you plan to shoot from the human player station, as that would be epic! Whatever you plan to do, I'm sure it will be effective.
