2363 feeder station robot loading

[ToddF]

Now we just need to speed things up a little...

6 tote stacking at the feeder station

Interesting. Makes me wonder if we could do the same sort of thing... (we don't have such a tote slide in our design right now).

Do you have an effective means of getting a Recycling Container on the stack?

I'd imagine they just load one first and then start tote loading.
Great design, I'm loving the outside the box thinking with the through-bot loading (inside the box?) and the great use of a bike disc brake.

NICE!

[Zebra_Fact_Man]

That's some smooth loading. Nice work!

[Mike Marandola]

Great work! How has your active intake worked out in the open? I still think that's the way to go.

[MrRiedemanJACC]

Looks great! Very smooth!

What versa planetary gearing are you using on the intake? And which wheels are those? 4" Colsens?

Partners. Anyone who can put a RC on a level 1 tote gives huge value.

Driving around with 6 totes and an RC - now that's a different story.

Love it: simple, effective, completes a significant challenge in the game, and generally won't starve for game pieces.

[AdamHeard]

Very nice.

That looks awesome, thanks for posting videos mid season.

How much error can you have in feeder station alignment? When we were thinking about this idea one of spots we weren't sure about was aligning perfectly to prevent the totes from jamming in the robot.

I think we have an inch or 2 either direction. Since the bottom of the tote is slimmer than the top you end up with a little more error allowance than you'd think.

Love the bike disc brake!!

Such a smart and simple design. And you have 2 weeks to iterate. Great job.

[nlknauss]

Slick and simple, I always love your designs 2363!

Wow nice! Our team was thinking of doing something similar to that but eventually decided to go with another idea we had.
