Range is reasonably adequate as of now.

I just wish we could reasonably test our prototypes (reasonably adequately) outside

Do you mind sharing what type of kicking mechanism you used? Or post a close up picture?

We haven't taken any pictures yet, sorry, but it is a simple human-arm actuated, surgical tubing powered kicker as of now - like many you see other teams doing here on CD. I''l post some pictures when it is working a bit better and looking tidier.

Re: Team 383 kicker prototype

It looks like the arm is still manually pulled back/released. Any ideas for how to do it mechanically?

We tested it this week with a Window Motor (previous year's model) and it worked just fine, although very slowly. The final robot should have an overengineered gearbox with as many powerful motors we have left. Release will be by means of a dog gear, probably actuated by a Denso motor with linkage.

Yes, of course it is illegal. It was just a prototype.

EDIT: Last year's motors would be legal (as replacements, not additions), as they are the same as this year's. The particular window motor we used would not, as it is a different model.

Re: Team 383 kicker prototype

Do you have a way of shooting with less power?

Yes, it is possible both mechanically (winch release) and electrically (sensor feedback). We'll probably limit the operator to choose between three settings only, one for each zone.

Nice, that's a slick way to do it.
