Re: pic: Chicapus01
Clean is the last word I would have thought some one would have described it as. Honestly I don't know how we did so well at Clarkson (2nd place) with a robot that only scores in the low goal. Also it makes this loud clanging sound from the zipties hit the metal guide on the inside. I'll try to get some video up soon, but for now this is the basic overview.
Holonomic drive: 2 forward facing powered wheels in front and 2 unpowered perpendicular omni wheels in the back
Rotating shaft on the inside has zipties all around it that pick up the balls and bring them to the hopper at the top.
Two independently servo driven door flaps allow the balls to dribble out when opened.
Tomorrow we have a meeting so I'll be able to get more detailed pictures and some video of it in action.

You know you've been involved with robotics too long when you see a remote-controlled traffic barrel coming up behind people and honking - and it doens't faze you. - GaryVoshol [more]
