Re: How will your team score?

Two shooting flywheel system with the ability to "spit" the balls out and also shoot them approximately 20 feet (no real need to do that though, poor accuracy), so look for more like 5-10 feet max with the ability to shoot a few "Hail Mary's".

Re: How will your team score?

A well designed shooter should in effect be a good power dumper also in the +/- 1 foot range. The downfall to a dumper is vice versa.

Re: How will your team score?

We named ours a "shumper", for Shooter-Dumper.
Sounds like something from the 3 stooges, but it works...

Re: How will your team score?

Our original design was for a pan and tilt shooter similar to what we had in 2006. But thinking back to '06, as cool as the shooter was, it took a bit of effort to aim it and didn't have an exceptionally high rate of fire. We'd score okay, but nowhere near as well as the teams that just loaded up on balls, ran up on the ramp and "slam dunked" them home from point blank range.

None the less, the original plan was to re-do the shooter and make some improvements because, let's face it... turrets are cool. Even if we didn't win in '06 (we did well enough, and it earned us our first games on Saturday afternoon) that robot is still our #1 demo machine.

However we have a younger group of students this year, with fewer experienced machinists in particular, so we're altering plans and going for the power dump.

Hmm... I'm thinking that "shotgun" term might be a better one.

We also have to admit that we were influenced just a bit by this. Way to go 2775... our design is quite different, but hopefully equally as devastating.

Re: How will your team score?

what are some of the scoring rates people are estimating?

for example our power dumper should off load at ~10 balls a sec

Re: How will your team score?

We plan on being able to adjust the speed to our shooter landing us in both the power dumper and shooter categories.

Re: How will your team score?

Being located in Sunny Southern California, naturally our team is using a snow blower type shooter on a turret that is camera controlled.
