WoW! Nice Bot. I was impressed with the screw storage. I wondered if anyone would attempt it. You perfected it.
Good luck.

We have the camera programmed to "lock-on" to the green light once it sees it. But if we need to pan the shooter, we can override it, and have our gunner manually control it.

Another great robot from the Space Coast! This one definitely goes on my list of robots to hunt down and see in Atlanta.

We have a set RPM for the shooter, and it sends our balls flying in a parabolic trajectory (an arc). This increases the range we have to sink our balls in, without having a mechanism to manipulate the angle of the shooter. This takes some of the guess work away when it comes to shooting during competitions.

Re: Team 233 (The Pink Team) Roccobot 2k6 Video Unveiled!

From the look of your ball collecting mechanism, it would seem as if you'd have a problem picking up two balls that were sitting next to each other as they enter the cutout in your frame, and transition to the single ball width of your helix.

Has this been a problem for you in testing? I know our team and others have been experiencing problems here.

We were worried about that too before we started testing, but actually we havent really had any problems with that. The way we pick up balls is not large enough for two balls to fit in side-by-side... its just large enough for maybe one and a half balls. Just as long as we arent driving too fast, we wont end up eating two balls at once. As one ball is being sucked up, the other one either patiently waits its turn, or it gets squashed underneath the robot as we accidentally run over it. those are just about the only problems we had during testing... that, and rarely, balls will get jammed either at the bottom or the top of the Archemedies Screw (aka the spiral), but that is easily undone with a little pursuasion on the Gunner's behalf.
