 My strongest FIRST memories, and the teams that leave the biggest impact on me, are teams that seem like they have every reason to give up, but never do. - Chris is me [more] |

Re: Manipulator Maladys
We've been facing some similar problems and I have a few suggestions.
Put weight in the back, such as the battery and compressor, to balance the weight. If you guys are worried about gripping the ball, pneumatics are useful. We've been able to grab the ball and hold it as low as 20 psi, with 2 freshman beating on it. Getting the necessary force to squeeze the ball is no problem, even with 1/2 inch pistons, however creating the friction to hold the ball is the question. The covering on the ball is incredibly slick and you'll need a good surface to your pinchers in order to lift the ball. Good Luck with your bot. Thor |
