Pneumatic catapult?

Is this seriously your finished drive, or an old one

(Although I don't doubt you could have gotten it all fabricated that fast. haha)

You figure it out. I'm sure you've got enough photos of all our old bots to be able to tell.

That's a no then huh

hey, it looks good, now you have time to practice, jk, lol, maybe.

So is this a joke?

Or is this just a frame and electrical stuff and the ball stays on the top of the chasis??

Do you have another photo to put??

How do you guys think to take the ball down??

I am little confused on the photo.. Another photo will help me to understand your robot

[basicxman]

lol
a magician never reveals their secrets...nor does a FIRST team reveal their robot

espicially this early! it's probably the bare start or an old robot

Take a close look. The chassis is from last season. In fact, this is just a teaser. There are no such thing as a "catapult" on that robot. The ball is simply sitting on the chassis. Our team has tried few different ideas to launch it or use a catapult. It takes a lot of force to get that ball to launch upwards. I would be very surprised if I see a team succeed at launching the ball more than 20".

Aw, ruined all the fun. But yeah, this is the 07 Drive Base. We were using it to get a feel of the ball with a robot, and so I snapped a picture and claimed it was complete.

As for a launcher that can achieve more than 20 feet, just you wait and see.

could you give us a preview of that?

possibly a picture of the ball in mid flight?

Craig, sometimes it's okay to share. I understand that there are teams who likes to keep their robot a "secret," but at the same time if some other team needs help they show them the right path to go along; sometimes even design it for them. It is known as Gracious Professionalism.

I really would like to see a ball launch over 20 ft. I say I don't think you can launch it that high. Prove me wrong.
