No chain in our robot this year.
The foam roller provides ball control and is driven via a CIM/AM planetary gear combination using belt drive. The kicker is driven by enclosed compression springs with a pivot point that puts the kicker "over center" in the cocked position. A winch using two window motors reels up the kicker. We use a large cam on another window motor to push the kicker down through center to fire the shot. The kicking mechanism requires just three limit switches for operation: one on the kicker, one on the winch, and one on the cam.

Just think outside the box but inside the 28" X 38" X 60" rectangular prism and you may come up with a solution. - Pavan Dave [more]
