I was wondering if anybody could explain/show how 1538’s intake wrist works

It looks like the intake is mounted to a sprocket, and the sprocket is driven by a motor

I think its driver by gears? Like a system where the motor is mounted somewhere and spins a gear which makes it like orbit a stationary gear. I don’t completely remember though and I very well could be wrong lol.

Edit: just looked at their behind the bumpers looks like its a sprocket like thedudeJose said Behind the Bumpers 1538 | The Holy Cows | Charged Up Robot Overview - YouTube

Yep, folks got it right here. The wrist portion of the intake is driven via 1 Falcon with an initial spur gear reduction followed by a chain/sprocket reduction at the final stage.
