I like the omni wheels and ball claw. What's on the ball claw to allow it to grad better?

if you are referring to the black area, it is not gripping material, it is actually airplane flooring. This is very light weight material, and also provides awesome rigidity. This material is sandwiched by the aluminum plating.

Re: pic: 1018 Final Config.
I am very pleased to see another team going after the small balls. How well does your ball grabbing mechanism work? It looks like you have just one large roller on the top and then the balls zig zag into a hopper. We are team 1083 and a second year team, and have also choosen to go after the small balls.

Very awesome design!

Yep, that's pretty much how it works. The roller squeezes the ball up on a choote, and into the hopper. The balls arrange themselves in there, but not zig-zag. We managed to fit 7 balls in there
We think being able to control the small balls gives us an edge, especially as not many teams seem to have gone that way.
Good luck to you guys, may the balls be with you ...

Looks great, RoboDevils!

Stu, I don't know how long the aw-shucks-we're-just-a-simple-second-year-team ploy will last. I suppose that when you guys tear things up this year, no one will be suprised by your future success.

Yet another STRONG Indiana team. Represent! woo!

Aw-man! Can't you guys move down to Virginia, or can you come to the VCU regional? Pretty please!

Anyway, very good bot. I like the 'fins' you use to pick up the big ball. Plus your under weight!
