Re: Scaling Club
Team 4004, the M.A.R.S. Rovers, achieved consistent tower scales last weekend at West Michigan. Our robot's 'Intellihook' activated the winch automatically as soon as the hook made contact with the bar. It took the guesswork out of our drivers who couldn't always tell if we were hooked properly or not.

What are you using to shoot your grappler claw up to the pipe? Is it a spring, pneumatic cylinder or combo of the two?
It is a steel compression spring. The trigger is a pneumatic cylinder operating a simple over-center lever.

The dart itself has some bearings that ride the surface of the trigger cam to get a repeatable release.

Anthony,

Thank you for the reply! Where did you source the compression spring? We have tried a few different springs and cannot seem to get the distance. Also, some of the stiffer springs are very difficult to compress to set the trigger!

Thank you,
