Re: pic: Team 548 Teaser (What could this be?)
i agree that it is a gate for a shooter. however if you have any pneumatics whatsoever on your robot, that thing is completely over kill because you could use one of the rotary actuators(what were using)

Perhaps that's what he meant by saving weight, as pneumatics adds a lot of unnecessary weight to the robot. (Tanks, Solenoids, Spikes, Heavy Actuators, Compressor if you use it)

Two answers:

1. Doesn't matter. They'll never get all those servos synchronized anyway!

2. It's rotating something heavy. How about a rotating shooter?

I'll go out on a limb and say it's for rotating one (or maybe all three?) swerve modules. But that doesn't make sense, so i agree that it rotates a shooter.

I do I do!!! w000!!! lol
And while that wasn't my first though, I do see the connection now, & agree! lol

Anyways, looks like you're trying to make a cam type device in a very unique way.
Interesting.

BAH!
I have a Spirograph at home, but now i try to draw the figures in a polar equations (yeah i know its sad, or geeky, but what every).
And i'm a teenager...

It looks like it's going to make something rotate, I don't know what that something is, but it's going to rotate. And it's big/heavy, because one servo wouldn't turn it, it takes three.

Thats real constructive...

We'll see what your saying when we're loading down your trailer and incurring a G14.
