Re: The spread of pinching rollers this year
233s final configuration was inspired by Karthik (1114) and the Poofs/RAWC (254/968). We started out with a floating top roller on linear bearings and a fixed lower bar. This worked well and the ball stayed in contact with the floor all through testing. However we found at UCF that the ball was lifting when we went onto the 1/2" plywood transition at the base of the humps. We did fine as long as we stayed off those transitions. 233, as always, was in continuous improvement mode @ UCF and we were still working out the bugs until they through us out of the pits long after the finals of competition that Saturday. We then attatched the lower bar to our linear shafts which allowed the ball to stay on the ground even if you pick the robot off the ground. We also changed our top roller covering to Kanagasabapathane, please correct me Karthik if I misspelled that.
Hope this helps you Adam, mike d
