Re: How does your robot load????

We have a mechanism that picks balls up from the ground (like a lawn mower) and takes them to the top of the robot, where they are entered into the shooting canal. I guess this would count as a "conveyor belt" type loader?

Re: How does your robot load????

well we have designs and a prototype for sucking them off the ground and bottom-feeding them into a big hopper. However, as of this moment our robot doesn't even hold balls, much less pick them up. (We can shoot though, we got rapid fire working today!)

Re: How does your robot load????

our bot picks up balls from the back, we used a sim motor to spin wheels, when the ball hits these wheels it get compressed and shot up into a hopper that still need to be built and then into the shooter which is already mounted, not sure what the loader qualifys as
