 I think this is the forest that ChiefDelphi often misses as we're picking the branches off every tree. - Libby K [more] |

Re: Bouncing TrackBalls
So about 4 feet... .6 times as high each bouce... after about 4-5 bounces it might be able to grab IF it doesnt bounce out of the arena... given the only open areas are where the robots are dragged in...
Im to tired to do the math oh how long it would take for it to hit the wall and start bouncing back...parabolas and such... This might actually give an advantage to robots that are trying to grab and carry them... robots pushing them will have to try and follow it around as it bounces off of walls and robots and such. I dont know that was probably obvious beforehand im just tired... Man only like 2 days in and im already behind on sleep... Last edited by GBilletdeaux930 : 06-01-2008 at 21:55.

Re: Bouncing TrackBalls
Well basic kinematics shows that the height of each bounce doesn't matter at all for the time that it will take to hit the wall, just the velocity with which it is released as it is hurdled.
The bouncing height will increase the contact/normal force and thus the friction, but the ball wasn't going to be sliding anyway, presumably it would just start rolling. |

Re: Bouncing TrackBalls
well you either have to have a solid grabber to take control of it or otherwise just have a big pusher and don't worry about the bounces...

Re: Bouncing TrackBalls
One easy way to deal with grabbing a moving object is rollers. With a powerful enough mechanism, all you would need to do is touch the ball to grab it. The problem is designing a powerful enough mechanism.
