Awesome looking machine!

Did you 3d print those augers things you are using to move the balls?

4

We bought the augers but we 3D printed hex adapters to go from 1.4" to 0.5" to fit on the axle.

5

Do you have a link to the product you bought?

6

We are using 9 of these per robot, each one is 5 inches long.

Thanks!

Oh, beautiful! Can’t wait to see it at Arkansas next week. Next week. Yikes. Panic now.

Cannot wait to be on the field with Team 364 again this year, not once but twice. You have a great bot and will go far again this year. See you in a couple of weeks at Rock City and then at Bayou. Keep training and iterating.

How did you drive these? Did you broach them?

11

They are intended to be driven by a 1.4 inch hex shaft. We 3d printed a 1.4 (OD)inch hex adapter with a 0.5 (ID) hex opening. Now we are driving the augers with a 0.5 inch hex shaft, with vex pulleys and timing belts.

You guys have the same ceiling tile problem that we do!

The augers are neat. Have you tried running them at a faster speed to increase the fuel rate?

13

Yes Sir, we are now in the fine tuning stage to optimize our cyclic rate.

We won’t have the ceiling tile problem next year, we are really looking forward to moving into our new facility. As it is, we can do any modifications needed to the building that will be torn down in 3 months.
