Very cool!

How does the intake feed balls into the hopper? Does the turret need to be in a specific position for that to happen?

That is one interesting turret

By far the coolest and most original robot I’ve seen so far. Amazing design again. Can’t wait to see it in action.

Another completely different approach to the circular feeder. This year is so interesting :slight_smile:

Hah! We are using the same bristle brushes to manipulate PC’s in our indexer. Just not nearly as cool as yours. Hope to see you at MSC. Good luck but I don’t think you’ll need it. :slight_smile:

By far the most unique design we’ve seen this year (so far). Even by the typically high standards I expect from the Bees this is seriously impressive.

I’ll bite, what was the thought process with a lot of the design decisions here? Why the curved ball path + offset turret combo? What led you in a direction to only be able to intake balls when the turret is in a locked/specific position?

That is one of the most impressive and unique designs I have ever seen guys well done!

Very unique design! The picture of it reminds me of 148’s robot in 2008 tumble dry! The hook delivery is very speedy!
