Re: Vacuum tube.
our team hooked up the vacuum the first day to try it out. it had an Ok grip on the tube, enough that the vacuum on the end of a manipulator could manuveur the tube effectively. there were two drawback to it that we noticed. one, the angle of the suction cup provided made it so that the cup has to be pressed against the tube hard to get it to seal. also, one the suction is cut off to drop the tube, it tends to stick, and needs some forcefull shaking to come off. i dont think we will be going with a vacuum this year...
on this note though, i remmeber the first time i experianced FRC. i was in 8th grade, and was shadowing at the specialty high school for engineering in my county (i eneded up not goin there). i stayed after for the robotics meeting (2004 challenge) and saw them working with suction. the team was trying to get a vacuum going strong enough to lift the big exercise balls. they couldnt get it to work. anyway just thought i would share that. dont take my word for it though, try out the vacuum yourself and see if you can get it to work nicely. we are all creative people and there is more than one way to skin a cat |
