Re: Rookie Team 3357 The COMETS Kicker Prototype

very nice kicker with good loft.

There is no 2" rule. You are allowed to extend any kicker or ball interaction device up to your bumper parimiter. A pool noodle 2.5" mounted on 3/4" plywood gives you a ~3.25" bumper parimiter past your frame parimiter. Let's not confuse teams with inacurate rules.

You are going to remove those outlier parts of the frame, right?

Re: Rookie Team 3357 The COMETS Kicker Prototype

We have been working with the pneumatic system but for some reason we can't see to get enough power/pressure from the pneumatics system. We are using the max of 60 psi. Is there any advice on how to improve the pneumatics.

I am very novice with pneumatics but I have read alot because I wanted to use them this year.
Try-
1. using some surgical tubing as a spring
2. moving the pivot points of the cylinder
3. this is a little complex, but some teams have a restraining pin. They fire there pneumatics, but they can't move anywhere until the pin is pulled. Pull the pin and it goes. This helps because the 1/8" tubing can be very restrictive to air flow.

Re: Rookie Team 3357 The COMETS Kicker Prototype

Yeah, there's no real way to increase the flow legally. The best way is to preload the cylinder so it doesn't have to vent 60 psi from the other side. Although I've been trying to find a piston with two ports for each stroke, so you could use two solenoids and double the flow.

PS- Your team has my favorite number of all time, I'm into vintage paintball markers and that number just so happens to be the name of the only true paintball revolver ever to make it into production.

Re: Rookie Team 3357 The COMETS Kicker Prototype

Hey a team in our own backyard, Forest Hills right? Looks like you guys are doing great, One thing i would suggest, that being a rookie team is getting that kitbot up and running, if that is going to be your drive platform, so that way the programing team and Drive team can get a crack at it and work out the bugs.

If you guys ever need anything Team Enigma 2075 is always ready to help a neighbor, good luck and see you at one of the competitions, i hope.

Re: Rookie Team 3357 The COMETS Kicker Prototype

Just a note: You are saying that your ball gets over the bump, but in fact, the only foolproof way to test if it can is to place the robot 15.5 feet away, and then fire your device. It is successful if you can do it from the furthest possible point!

Anyways, it looks like a great device!
