this isnt our best because i'm an animator and getting down to the manufacturing department is a rare thing and i just had the camera on me tonight....pretty cool...we shoot 7 balls in 10 seconds accurately (not show in the video...lol)

i like what ive seen posted by other teams as well

Very nice looking field.

thanks. we convinced our school district to build us a building soley dedicated for us. we built a full size playing field in which is pretty useful for testing and whatnot.

Its like the balls float into the goal. ITS SO KOOL!

That's great, maybe if we could get a shot of the actual shooter...

heres a pic of the robot. the shooter is simply two wheels spinning really fast and it aims on a moveable turret and a pvc pipe directs it.

that looks prety cool but i think it ss little inconsistant in shooting adn i dint know if u had a stop for teh balls to stop befor they get shot out but if u didnt they were getting hung up a little. otherwise good job we havnt gotten that far on our robot yet.

yea the reason it was inconsistent was because when the battery gets low (which it was) and u shoot, it takes a bit longer for the wheels to spin back up....and yes there is an indexer that works really well...its in the picture i just posted if u need any ideas for a mechanism for that...ours works pretty good at stopping and feeding the balls

Wait quick clamps are legal this year? Anyways, nice looking bot, and 7/10 is actually fairly accurate I have a feeling.

Interesting how your feeding them from the top down... good luck this season!
