Thumbs up Re: Team 578 can hurdle

Awesome design. Can you control how far you can go, or is it rigged only to go a certain distance? Still, it throws that ball FAR!

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.
