Re: Gears on the floor?
I think a 3-4 finger claw mechanism that grabs and then puts in position to score might be good and not too hard, sensor for contact...detect , drop , contract fingers ,hold, raise , place , expand fingers, score look at garbage picker uppers for inspiration.

I dont think that there is going to be many gears just lying around on the floor and it would be a waste of time to build a collector. |

Re: Gears on the floor?
Newer team wishes to know more about FRC Design Rule #4. I haven't come across any FRC Design Rules. Where can I find this reference, please? Your rule #4 makes sense and am wondering about the golden nuggets in the other rules.

Re: Gears on the floor?
I would say it's one of Karthik's rules, not an FRC rule per se. I don't have a link to Simbot Strategy right now, though... If you get a chance, watch the presentation.

Re: Gears on the floor?
I just wanted to share my disappointment after noticing how nicely the gears roll and then coming to the rule disallowing a mechanism to roll gears from across the field. The GDC has made me so cynical that whenever I imagine a winning robot I quickly think, "the GDC likely outlawed it" and usually I'm right, unfortunately.

Re: Gears on the floor?
Remember 1114's awesome floor pickup in 2013? But seriously, I'm more worried about getting called for herding when there's a stupid gear in the way.

Re: Gears on the floor?
Made a wood chassis and a wood apparatus. We can pick gears up off the floor! Prototype human motions are simple 90 degree "door" rotation and a peg that slides forward and back.
Geometry figured so the same apparatus delivers the gear to the spring peg. With some more work we can add a chute to get a gear from the human at the wall. 2450 |

Re: Gears on the floor?
We actually had luck with putting the intake roller on the bottom (with the polycarb sheet above) rather than on top or outwards. Just make sure the tread or whatever you line your roller with is extra grippy and the roller doesnt have a massive diameter(ours were about 1"). Although, as far as tread is concerned, I think wedgetop worked fine for us....

How do the gears go in then? Is the whole thing tilted downwards? |

Re: Gears on the floor?
Yes. Our intake was at an angle downwards, and the roller propelled it up the slope of the intake. With polycord strung across more rollers, I would imagine it would have continued to be guided up the slope
