 Here is one really important thing I learnt this season:
If you do it for yourself, you ain't gonna make it. If you do it for you're team, You'll make it. - Bharat Nain [more] |

Re: pic: Wheel of Doom
It has an outside diameter of 26" and the hole in the middle is about 11" in diameter. Each "slot" is 7.5" wide (wonder what goes in there?). The height is about 10.5" and the total weight with Lexan is around 5 lbs. We are using 0.062" thick aluminum sheet metal just like last year.
Eric is right ... we are NOT floor loading. This is definitely a significant part of our robot. We feel most teams will overlook ball jamming, but not us. We are very concerned with ball jamming and this device is used to help with the jamming problem. Have you ever looked inside a gumball machine? The gumball machine was our inspiration, but now that I look at it ... it does look like a washing machine. -Paul |
