the electronics are kind of tempary on there. we are also going to have a layer of lexan over the electronics to protect them of course.

Ok much more happier then i see no potential issues, looks really top notch
I have to get technical though (Lexan is a brand of poly-carbonate, poly-carbonate is the material) sorry just a thing i like to inform people on.

good luck the rest of build season

one thing i noticed is your electronics are out in the open could be a problem

I noted earlier that they would be enclosed by lexan. no worries.

I love it

Heres a dumb question... will you have anything preventing the balls from going over the edge at the top until you want them to? like would you be able to collect your max capacity of 8 or so balls without dropping the top ones, then dump them all into a trailer? If you're able to do that, it may prove to be a very good strategy! good luck!

hopefully by the end of the week we will be able to show that to you guys.

How will you hold balls until your next to a trailer?

wow thats really BEASTY!!!

So the balls are pulled out by gravity? Conveyer to get it up there?

In this design, having any kind of launcher at the end of the bot is redundant since the pipes direct it at such a low angle.

Only problem is distance. Even at a height of 5 feet, you may be able to get a ball at max 3 - 5 feet. There is also the penalty of getting hooked onto your opponets trailer. I dont know if that was part of your stratgey but you defintately need to cut the pipes back in order to ensure that you will not get a penalty by accidentally hooking onto a trailer.

I'm concerned about the offset in the frame, though. You've made the sides of the bot not on the BUMPER PERIMETER, so you have no legal method of attaching BUMPERS.

it also said that some of the stuff isnt listed

good luck with that design guys
