Ball Launcher

Our team took the large plastic wheels in the kit (the big black ones, dunno the name), and took an angle grinder to the outside to stop it from eating the balls. It works really well when coupled with our full turret and camera. We're happy to announce that we shoot the center goal quite well, even in autonomous.

our team ended up using the same wheels we made when we first prototyped our shooter. They are aluminum with a kurnled face. We had an issue with balls getting chewed up by them being too close, so we spaced them out a bit and used some rubber bands. Problem was we kept loosing rubber bands!

In the final design, the rubber bands were replaced by o-rings in a groove we turned into the wheel. Now our shooter is damage free, but we do leave catwisker black marks on the balls if we use brand new orings.
