The CAD at horizontal is about 54.5" out with the HDPE arms in the drawing being placeholders (we hadn't worked out the shape fully at the time this was sent for machining), but the real thing was shaved down since that swivel part was being iterated as the team went along. It's incredibly close and right at the 54" mark right now though which worries me. We'll probably play with the length of that part/different iterations as the season goes on. The rear bumper might be a slight issue if moved out of place, but I'm hoping that won't be the case.

I'll have Brandon post a screenshot from the CAD later probably when he has access to it.

Greg, I'm curious, did your team implement a similar design as this still? I'm excited to see it now!

Yes and no. The team I am working with this year did implement an Arm shooter but it is very different in it's implementation to this, mainly due to the fact that we could not get the geometry to work and stay within the 54" circle all the time. I'll post some photos tomorrow of what we came up with.

One of our goals determined early in the season was that we wanted our robot to be able to handle an upside down frisbee in the event that one was picked up, so yes it does in the sense that it conveys/stores/spits out but we are in no means trying to score upside down frisbees

We are at 53.5 with the arm in horizontal, and we can easily take it back some more if needed.

Looks nice, can't wait to see it at TCNJ.


And I can't be the only one who switched tabs to Facebook at ~30 seconds in.
