What do you get when you mix some clever students, wooden dowels, a trash can, some brooms and some PVC?

I love it! This has to be one of the most clever hopper designs I've ever seen!

Re: Vid: Team 1551 Hopper Prototyping

Ya I had the same idea last week but due to a kinda lame prototype my team was convinced that it would be inefficient, and decided to go another route, but I hope to see this work at the competition!

I wasn't convinced on the lift until I saw the fast version. This is really neat! Very innovative use of materials- you will turn a lot of heads at competitions.

Re: Vid: Team 1551 Hopper Prototyping

Nicely done! We've been working on a very similar design, but it uses a sticky roller in the middle instead of bristles (seen here). We were planning on trying bristles, too, if the roller didn't work well enough, but apparently it works great either way!

Re: Vid: Team 1551 Hopper Prototyping

Very nice! We decided to go with bristles because it's gentler on the ball, and will likely require less torque as the hopper fills up.

Awesome idea! Where on earth did you guys get those brushes? We have a different idea for their use than your application though...
