The pneumatics are for the shifters and the gear flap on the rear. We are also reserving air volume for a ground pickup mechanism which we will probably not have installed until Asheville. Because our robot is really tall, we are also extending a flap towards the feeder station in auto so that the fuel will heap on top of our robot as we empty it by shooting in autonomous.
These other team videos inspired us to make our gear mechanism much faster so we are actually having our human player practice slinging the gears as far down the field as possible through the human player station to cut cycle times for our new ground feeding gear mechanism. If it works, our tower and turret can actually slide to the rear of the robot and increase our volume.
I was able to view this robot the weekend before bag and tag, and it was amazing. Disappointed we aren’t able to compete together in any district events, so hopefully we’ll see each other at the state championship.
