Re: Passive vs Active Gearing
What are we considering the line between passive and active? I can see ours as a "semi-active" as it has small portions of it moving, but the manipulator itself doesn't move.

Regarding active placers, we decided that that's also very beneficial. I think someone else in the thread said that there are tradeoffs, but we managed to package an active placer in a volume smaller than many teams passive systems. In my opinion, I think all the high-level gear bots are going to be able to dump the gear the instant the peg gets in the gear. |

Re: Passive vs Active Gearing
We are attempting both an active intake (from the floor or from the loading station) and an active placing mechanism (opening the box and an active push onto to spring). We will see within the next few days how successful these are.

Re: Passive vs Active Gearing
Tricky thing about active feeder systems - do they still work when the bot isn't up against the wall? If not, then there may be a real possibility of negating their time benefit by wasting cycle time clearing balls/etc before intake.

Re: Passive vs Active Gearing
Is this active enough?

Re: Passive vs Active Gearing
While I agree that teams will need to insure their system still works even if there's Fuel in the way, I feel like that's not solely a characteristic of active systems. I'd argue that a lot of the passive Gear pockets I've seen might be more susceptible to imprecise alignment and spacing than some potential active intake systems.

Re: Passive vs Active Gearing
So what are people considering a passive vs active system.
1) Pushing the gear onto the peg further or 2) Aligning the gear with something besides drivetrain |

Re: Passive vs Active Gearing
That was a fun demonstration with max air pressure, we will dial it down to a softer push. The gear will always be touching the pusher or the peg, never launched. we plan to drive into contact with the airship so we know the exact distance from the peg to the gear. we hope to have an active way to clear fuel from between the bumper and airship. once we are aligned with the peg*, it is a few hundred milliseconds to place the gear well onto the peg.
*therein lies the real work |
