 It doesn't matter if students get inspiration from planning to creating to manufacturing to purchasing to watching to engineers creating the parts etc etc etc. As long as students are getting Inspired, FIRST is doing it's mission. - David Kelly [more] |

This picture was taken when I was bouncing the ball and explaining something at the same time. The result was a ball freeze framed right at its maximum when I'm about to push it back to the ground.

Re: pic: Perfectly Timed Ball Levitation
Anyone tried filling the ball with helium? Hydrogen would be out for safety reasons, I suppose.

Is ball levitation during a match legal? Potential method for herding ball.

Re: pic: Perfectly Timed Ball Levitation
A kid on our team suggested "Bernoulli Bot" a bot that operates by floating the ball above it via a large fan.
To go over the truss, simply rev it up and puss the ball higher. Momentum and Bernoulli's principle would keep the ball centered above the robot.
Of course it is one of those joke ideas. We are NOT building a robot to do this

Why'd you give away that dark magic? You should post the picture first and explain it a day later 
That brings up the hype, making everyone think you are a supernatural!

Re: pic: Perfectly Timed Ball Levitation
Levitating a ball is a pretty good trick. But can you balance a robot on its front bumper 3 feet off the ground?
