Re: pic: 1123's robot

how are you planning on herding the balls? are you going to use your arm? those balls are very grippy - if you get one caught in between those skids, you will ride up on top of it in a heartbeat.

The arm will be completely retracted and those grabbers ride right above the floor. The frame is also low enough that we couldn't get a ball to ride up during testing

Re: pic: 1123's robot

aye, I thought we might have issues with ball hearding...as well as a few others. However the way we build the skids, they really won't ride up onto a ball...like Andy said, we tried and were not able to get the robot to ride up on balls. We'l also be implementing a bar grabbing device as an adon to the arm. That arm can ull somethign like 600 pounds...it's awesome.
