Go to Post There's a stark difference between bragging and taking pride in your work. While "Ha ha! We're better than you! We won seventeen regionals and you didn't!" would clearly fall in the former, listing your achievements would definitely fall in the latter. - artdutra04 [more]

Re: pic: TechnoKat Teaser #1

Wow, that's an absurdly large tube! We're talking about 7" balls right?!

I'm a programmer, so I may be off base here, but why would you ever need a roller that big to (presumably) pick up such small balls? Aren't you only increasing the mass of the cylinder you'll have to spin up... and keep under the weight limit?

We're currently planning on two much smaller rollers... is there something we're missing?

Or perhaps this will be mounted in the center of a fixed radius curve... and you need the surface area... but man, that's still huge.

Not really, 45 (I assume) is not gonna shoot one ball at a time...i believe with a big roller you can get more balls to shoot out, thus scoring faster. pretty ingenious

Personally, I'm rather disappointed. Where is El Jorge?

Re: pic: TechnoKat Teaser #1

Well lets see...

The chain is coming from the bottom. This either signifies this mechanism will be mounted high, or on its side. The big roller extends past the frame that holds it, so I doubt this will be mounted in the "on its side" position.

So, I am assuming this will not be a ball gatherer, as Team 45 has shown a particular skill for doing in the past.

Shoot away, boys.

The chain may be coming from the bottom in the picture, but I believe that it is not in the orientation is will be in whne on the robot. I believe that it is in the current orientation to make it easier to work on certain parts of it.

Re: pic: TechnoKat Teaser #1

I'm excited to see this first teaser and I'm really hoping that there are many more to come. Can I give myself credit for starting the Technokat teasers with this horrible photoshopped picture from 2002 ? What was I thinking when I made that.......

The only problem with this is that it makes it way harder to aim, as you're trying to fit more balls into the same sized hole. In addition, it's probably very likely that if you were shooting multiple balls at once, they'd hit each other in flight, or as they came out of the shooter.

Looks like a pickup device to me.

Maybe not, if you are only 10" away from the big hole?

I hope you're hungry

I say the side pieces clamped on with c-clamps are adjustable to experiment with different trajectories and/or amount of squeeze. This type of launcher would work perfectly to "lob" balls into the center goal while sitting on the platform, or perhaps right in front of it.

It's a ball scatterer for putting balls into play on the floor. (If a few go into the goal, it's no big deal. )
