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.

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.

Looks like another innovative robot from think pink. I'm looking forward to seeing it run at UCF.

I like how it is on google video That's pretty awesome.

Nice work too! I was too busy working on the scouting software to get out to see the actual robot this year but it looks great and I can't wait to see it in action at UCF.

Whoa! they painted it pink this year!

Awesome once again. I simply can't wait to see it in a couple weeks. How tall is your shooter mounted?

The entire robot is about one inch below the height requirement (sixty inches). And the shooter is roughly eight inches in height. So the shooter sits about fifty-one inches off the ground.

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

Is it possible to reverse the spiral and harvester so you can release the balls into the corner goals just in case something goes wrong with the shooter and you cant use it. God forbid, but if you could reverse everything than you have one heck of a robot there.

Yes, we can reverse the drum so if we have to, we can spit balls into the ball corrals (corner goals). Sorry, no video of that in action; just wait for UCF.

not really... but we only got in about 3 hours worth of testing just before we shipped the robot... so i guess you'll find out how much of a problem it is when we do: at UCF.
