Re: Cushioning Your Hard Stop
Our team originally had designed and built a hard stop that was linked to the winch, but bad things happened...very bad things. So, on bag day we had an idea to use the same tubing that was powering the catapult to stop it. It worked great. Now, it does oscillate a little bit after shooting, but it doesn't for long because our tubing is so strong. The robot is taking the same amount of force, but it is doing it in a much longer time period (impulse). No more exploding versa planetaries (oops did I just say that)

Re: Cushioning Your Hard Stop
Here is my cable hard stop. I don't have any real pictures, but I used PAINT to make this.
 I'm getting a real picture of my cable put up on the portal right now. |
