Yes ONE blue banner would be nice one of these days, but I've never lost focus of why we as mentors do what we do. It's about preparing the students for "defense" in life, and laugh when your robot gets scored into a goal. - Chris_Elston [more] |

The intake does look intriguing. Is that a oneway gate for the ball intake? Send us pictures when you can.
Good luck in New York.

The ball just goes under the bumper, and there are some various chunks of wood to direct it to the center, where the intake roller is. Then when it contacts the roller, it goes up the track until the sensor detects it, and turns off the roller. When it's time to shoot, the shooter roller spins up, then the intake roller moves the ball further along the track. When it hits the spinning shooter roller, it's gone.
Two moving parts in our ball mechanism. Not bad for having the ability to collect balls, and make high and low goals.
edit: I found a picture, this is sort of old, we added a couple more chunks of wood in there since. And added a belly pan.

We dubbed this idea "The Pac Man Maneuver". It will be funny to see it in action.
