Re: 10 Balls per second?

if you play the first video in this thread backwards and turn the sound up loud

you can clearly hear the voice of John Lennon saying "I am the eggman, I am the eggman, Koo koo Kachoo!"

totally freaked me out!

The compressed air is just because they didn't want to get their hands too close to a spinning wheel and chains.

Great... now I'm going to have to try this.
How exactly do you play the movie backwards anyway?

Ummm, wow.

Unfortunately, you cannot always tell when some things are jokes on forums, because we only can rely on text and a limited number of similies. But Ken's post about playing it backwards and hearing John Lennon was a definitely funny joke and nothing more. But it is funny to see how some people take everything they read and believe it to death.

Re: 10 Balls per second?

I did because i was bored. I knew it was probably a joke. I have too much free time on my hands when my robotics class doesnt meet today because of the holiday and i didnt have to get to bed early last night. I went to bed at like 3 am. which is late for me, unless i pull the all nighter.

Also, my music editing software was already up, and i thought it would be funny.

Re: 10 Balls per second?

FAKE, I got PROOF it is a Fake. Check out the attached pic to explain it all or read and/or read explanation. Look at the bottom of the goal. watch as the balls to 'throuth the goal right', as they cross through the goal and WE KNOW that the balls go into the goal, disappear as they are blocked from view by the bottom of the ring and reappear in the gap and then disappear again when they go behind the stand. However, they are being caught by a guy standing IN FRONT of the goal into a garbage can. NOT POSSIBLE. TOTAL FAKE.

I suspect they overlayed 2 videos. Look as the video is playing at the where that midle arrow is pointing, that 1 top of a ball glimpse is there for a while in the video. Any other guesses on how they faked it?

I suspected fake in the first place because he said it was in the rumor mill not robot showcase.
Quote:
This IS a real mechanism, but is not neccesarily mounted on a robot. The top of the 'device' was 60" off the ground. It uses a single 7" wheel spinning at ~1750rpm. The balls exit the device at around 35 degrees. It would shoot faster if we had a method of feeding them faster.
Yeah...real as a SOFTBALL LAUNCHER!!!!!

if you watch the video, you will see that the trashcan is held by a guy standing behind the goal, and in the frame you posted, he is blocked from view by the man standing in the foreground.

i find it disappointing that so many of you have trouble trusting your fellow FIRSTers. several reliable people have said that this video is not a hoax. maybe y'all should spend less time over-analyzing freeze frames of a teaser video, and more time on the 'bot. i, for one, plan to fire 15 balls through the goal in under a second. eat your heart out, travis .

Re: 10 Balls per second?

i feel that just the fact that they were able to launch that fast is amazing. my team cant launch 1 ball in 10 seconds let alone reversed.

dont disrepute the idea with saying "I have proof its fake". the fact of the mystery is why it is in rumor mill, not the robot showcase.
