Re: Team 578 Hint #2

All we need now are the belts/polycord and we have a ball manipulator of some sort. How it will manipulate the ball is questionable, however that's for hint #3.

Nice turret, BTW!

Re: Team 578 Hint #2

The painting was done to add color to the robot.
More hints to come.
By next week we should have a full picture.

Ironically the table was fully dirty by the end of the day.

No we used surgical tubing in 2010 on our kicker and we had to replace it like every match.

Re: Team 578 Hint #2

I see a 2" Inner Diameter PVC Pipe with 1/2 long spacers made from 2" PVC coupler, and you spray painted them red to cover up the ugly purple PVC Cement.

Looks like a tower ball pulley of sorts?

Nicely done, very very similar the rollers we did up. Only real difference is the paint and on the ends. On the ends, we cut the round pieces off some caps. Ours works pretty splendidly thus far by the way.

Keep up the good work.

Re: Team 578 Hint #2

This is our first year really trying to make our robot aesthetically pleasing. The red paint is part of that. I am really excited to see all the subsystems coming together!
