Can’t wait for the Finger Lake Regionals. On saturday we broke a few things like the part that connects the flippers to the pneumatics, so we made them from steel. The lift had a few probs and we fixed them also. It’s a little hard to turn, but we font that when we are moving it turns A LOT better.
i cant wait for the finger lakes regional. are robot can herd, knock of ball, and hurdle. i guess will see u there. oh and ur robot looks pretty cool. does it hurdle?
Looks pretty sweet. What are those little suction cup things are what ever they are for? Some kind of stabalization when hurdling. Se you at Finger Lakes.
suction cups??? Do you mean the flaps on the top? Those are to give up more area to his the ball with when we hurdle. Also they make it so the ball shoots off the one side if we hit it right.
no not those. there looks like there are two arms that come out on the bottom. looks like a couple of 3/4 inch pistons are hooked up to them letting them come in and out of the robot and two more to push it up and down. thought it was some sort of stabalization thing or something.
Where did you get that pneumaic tubing? We have been trying to figure out the best way to run our tubing up our lift, and self-coiling seems that it would be the best way.
We’re using 8020 and the way it’s set up makes it somewhat difficult to run the tubing 100% effectively. We have a pretty good setup right now, but we all would feel more secure with a better tubing set-up.
In that case a coil might be your best option. Be sure to used different colored tubing for the open and close valves so you’ll be able to tell which is which.
Yeah, we have figured that out. we have two cylinders that lft about 7’ so the self coinling would just help to keep everything in line and prevent it from getting caught up in the actal lift. thanks for the help.
