Re: Team SCREAM's prototype robot
I would love to see a video of the robot being hit "pretty hard" and seeing the ball stay in place. A slight pinch with those polycarbonate sheets is a pretty darn good idea IMO.

Also, are you worried about teams hitting your collector while you're shooting? If I were playing defense on you that's what I would do to turn your robot away from the goal.

Yes. We are worried about it. We understand the risk of the exposed arms and we will be bringing extras for sure in case of damage but it is a valid concern for us.

Re: Team SCREAM's prototype robot
Wow, that looks awsome!

I have a couple questions:

- Are you guys using just one cim per wheel or a cim and a mini-cim per wheel?

- Do you like the Vex Pro 6in mecanum? I heard that when strafing the rollers lock up some times?

Good Luck with the rest of build season, Looking great so far!

Re: Team SCREAM's prototype robot
We are using the toughbox nano from Andy Mark and have one cim per wheel.

So far we are really liking the VEX mecanums. I haven't really noticed them sticking when strafing yet.

Re: Team SCREAM's prototype robot
Very impressive, are you able to pass by just reversing the intake? And what cylinders are you using to lower and drop it?

Re: Team SCREAM's prototype robot
We have a couple of passing options. We can throw it over the truss for a long pass or we can reverse our pulley on the catapult to adjust the throwing angle for shorter passes as well. For a short pass or hand off we can reverse the wheels on the collector to release the ball.

We are using 6" stroke cylinders with a 3/4" bore.
