Re: pic: Pinchpoint Panda!

"When one little panda sticks his finger in another little panda's robot, it can get pinched! And that makes me a saaaaad panda."

That's a sharp looking turret, but I'm still trying to figure out what exactly the pneumatic cylinder is for... just a gate to regulate orbit balls? Or something else?

Re: pic: Pinchpoint Panda!

Yeah, the pneumatic is a mechanical stop and it keeps the balls from entering the shooter that way we can stack up 4 of them in a row.

And Ryan, I don't understand why we didn't this year. I mean we came up with such similar designs separately. It's crazy!


EDIT: I forgot to mention that the student who made this did a great job and as well with the OI. I expect it to be up soon enough!

Can 1323 hop on board, we have almost the same design except we have a howling coyote? Nice job guys, loving the kung fu panda.

Re: pic: Pinchpoint Panda!

we should have thought of that, i mean, our team name IS PANDAMONIUM, and our logo is a giant robot panda...

sorry the image is soooooo huge, i don't have the time to resize it, with only 6 days left in build season...



btw,NO we did NOT really find a hurt panda , it's just a funny JOKE...

Re: pic: Pinchpoint Panda!

Is that CIM direct-driving your shooter wheel? How big is the wheel? Is it very effective?

Yeah it is direct-driven, it's got three kit bot wheels on it (6 inches) and it's pretty effective. It will shoot about 12 feet into a goal pretty consistently. Right now, though, we are trying to see if there are ways to increase range or increase the angular momentum of the wheels, because there is a touch of die-down after a shot.
