Shooting/Catching Mechanism Idea

I've attached a rough sketch of an idea for a shooting/passing/floor pickup/catching robot. We've decided to tackle this competition from a different angle so I thought this may be useful to somebody. http://imgur.com/uTlZhTr
This mechanism was dubbed the catch-a-pult by one of our team members.

Re: Shooting/Catching Mechanism Idea

Looks interesting but be mindful that you can't extend more than 20" outside your frame perimeter.

Re: Shooting/Catching Mechanism Idea

Yes, that was why we changed our idea, although with the use of the motorized wheel on the articulated top arm you only have to reach 11-13in out so that it can reach the largest portion of the ball and pull it into the rest of the "cage".

Re: Shooting/Catching Mechanism Idea

Our team is working on a similar concept, only with a puncher, instead of a catapault.

Re: Shooting/Catching Mechanism Idea

Yeah what's what we're looking into. If I may ask are you guys heading towards some sort of pneumatic launcher or a spring/surgical tubing method?
