Re: Van De Graff effect on shooter
Would dragging a chain on the carpet do any good? All the teams have rubber wheels or tracks. That generates static too
Like walking across carpeting and touching a doorknob. Some of the regionals will be held in the north where humidity is low during the winter, there will be allot of static.I wonder what it will be like when two robots touch ![]() |

Re: Van De Graff effect on shooter
Our robot actually generates terrifying/amusing arcs between the front roller and chassis after we shoot a few balls.

Re: Van De Graff effect on shooter
I have never visibly seen it but I have felt the small shock I hope the robots don't become like tasers on wheels or something... *shudders* (at zapping possibilities) It might be cool if no damage results from it though...

Re: Van De Graff effect on shooter
if you drag anything on that rug you will get even more of a zap. you need it to be "grounded" and you will not get that on the field. unless you run up and touch the rail system to get rid of the energy.

Re: Van De Graff effect on shooter
In the past four regionals did anyone have a problem with too much static? I mean with the robot not the other teams

Re: Van De Graff effect on shooter
Actually, our FVC robot builds up immense amounts of static - more so than our FRC robot does. Maybe it's the driving across a foam-padded floor, with rubber tires, and intake rollers made of plastic that pick up rubber raquetballs...
I guess they'll have to carry around one of these now...![]() |
