Re: Team 578 can hurdle
Looks neat and safe.
One question though. Have you tried it with a slightly deflated ball? Some teams have noticed that the balls inflation varies with temperature.
Hope you have a great year.

Re: Team 578 can hurdle
here's a new video one of the mechanical members made. It has our first prototype we made in week 2, some videos of our practice bot being driven, and videos of the robot hurdling the trackball. Occasional commentary by our very own Colin Jacobs.

Re: Team 578 can hurdle
Well, we're hoping to be able to hurdle more than once, so we'll be raising it several times throughout the game. To counteract that we have about 20 to 30 pounds of weight to distribute near the bottom of the robot.

Re: Team 578 can hurdle
I'm very impressed. That works almost perfectly. (Besides the weight issue, of course) But that is truly amazing.
I enjoyed watching that.
Great idea & awesome job!!!

Re: Team 578 can hurdle
Well I can't say for sure, because I wasn't there for the full day of testing they did, but I know that we were going to spend week 6 optimizing the ability to load the trackball onto the forks, and we are able to do it while moving already, so with luck we should be able to pull off 4-7 hurdles in a match.

Re: Team 578 can hurdle
Man, this was my idea for this year but I was overruled by other mentors. Nice to see someone else did it too. I called it the pendulum kick.

Re: Team 578 can hurdle
We just finished our promo video for our robot. Here's the link, with some footage of us picking up the trackball, knocking it off the overpass (we figured out how to do it!), and launching it of course.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nA_7waJdzIo
It's changed a little bit since before. We no longer need to be against a wall to pick up the ball. What do you guys think?
