Looks Great!!!! Can't wait to see the entire thing when its completed.

Couple questions:

1. About 4 years ago we used the same type of roller system. We had problems picking up the balls (they were "lop-sided" back than) because we couldn't get a grip. Are you just appling pressure, or are you goign to put some type of lining on the rollers?

2. Whats your hopper goign to look like?

3. Are you goign to be able to catch the balls from the corral?

Looks great guys!! Keep up the good work!

I might be wrong, but I think those are the 2X balls and not the smalls balls. Are you grabbing both of them and holding them? Looks nice. I would like to see a better picture. Good luck.

It does look like some sort of device to pick up and control the 2x ball. However, as ive seen some teams do this year, it may lower to a point that you can corral balls in the area and push them that way.

Thank you for the compliments! To answer questions without giving away what the robot does....

1. Pressure sounds cool to me. With my past experiences with rollers, the best way to pick up balls like that is by getting a solid pinch on the ball, and eliminating as much of a sharp curve into the mechanism as possible.

2. eh...hopper?

3. Well that depends. I'm sure in some twisted and demented way, we could do it. But im not betting that we will bother....never say never though!

Surprise, suprise... 126 has a roller system... :-P if it ain't broke, don't fix it, right??

Good job guys. You've got me intrigued. I have some ideas about what you might have up your sleeve.... Can't wait to see it at BAE
