We would like to thank our gracious sponsors for donating their time and materials in order to help us achieve our goal. We could not have done it without you.
Yes, it does hang, just wasn’t featured during the photoshoot and SVT.
It’ll be a part of our 30 lb allowance.
As for the shooter feeder, it’s a drum that has a surface speed of ~150" per second and a roller that assists the feeding process, which is placed on top of the frisbee. This allows us to “rapid fire” frisbees.
That’s awesome. My next question, what material is on the drum? We thought of something like this but never found a material sticky enough to pull a disc out of the stack while angled.
More gorgeous robots coming from California…
Love the powder-coat, the wheels, and especially the crisp electronics!
Keep on doing what you’re doing because you make the west coast shine!
We have fans on the four talons used on the drivetrain because those are under the most continuous load. The 550 motors on the intake and loader draw very little current, even under load, so we felt no need to put fans on those 4 talons. The shooter motors only see brief spikes in current when a disc is being shot, otherwise they draw almost nothing. The arm is powered by 2 CIM motors, but it also does not see enough continuous load to justify putting fans on the talons. After 5 minutes of driving and shooting the talons on the arm barely start to warm up.
My favorite part about this robot is how built it is for the 7 disc autonomous mode. Can’t wait to see it in action, beautiful robot! California definitely has style
