I’ve seen lots of videos of robots gathering balls without a shooter. I’ve seen lots of videos of shooters that are hand positioned to make a shot every time. Plenty of these shooters don’t have a clear method for a gatherer to feed it. Who has a robot that can actually gather balls, position the robot using the control system, and then score? It’s almost week 6, no one has time to steal your design, so please share your videos.
Where’s 997’s videos?
Our team today is coming really close to doing both of these. Some things need final tweaking, but yes, as of right now we can pick up balls, drive around, and shoot them into a hoop…
If on schedule we will be there tomarrow
We can shoot and gather; we have a video of both working at same time but we didn’t drive because we work out of a garage and didn’t want to get tired dirty. we are rookie team 3997; check out our videos and http://www.screamingchickens.org/videos.html
TEAM 2883 F.R.E.D. (Fighting.Rednecks.Engineering and Design) can do all of the following gather,shoot and sink, tested most of the day today did not have anyone to take video. (I know gotta see it to believe) We are still working on our ramp tipper but so far we are looking alright still need to tweak some things but ran 6 batteries dead today just driving and shooting. Had some issues with carpet and turning but had it solved by mid afternoon.
Team 3784 has a shooter and picker that should work testing is this week.
1124 has a gathering/storing mechanism as well as entirely autonomous shooting. Things just need some tweaking in the coming weeks, and there are a few things that still have to be built/finished up.
We still have a week to go to put it all together
but it should be doing it’s thing Monday…yeah…really…
Yup! 256 is collecting, storing, shooting, and scoring all on one, moving robot!
We have all the apparatuses made. They just need to be mounted… Hopefully most of that is done tomorrow.
We have a frame and some mecum wheels, nothing more. Not even mounted electronics.:ahh:
Dont feel bad.
We just started mounting our elevator and welded on part of the superstructure today. So much to do so little time. :ahh:
We got it working! picks up balls, shoots them, and a couple in a dozen actually go in. Still a bit more programming to do
WE DO! Our design is a belt feeding the balls into a cage and through a mechanism similar to a tennisball shooter.
We’re a bit further along than this now.
our teams robot can gather, store, and score three balls. Now just to get it to do this autonomously…
Gather (Manual/Floor), Detecting number of balls, Shoot from Key (for now), Score - Done.
Its been a great season so far.
Team Driven 1730 can collect 3 balls, aim and shoot with shooter speed adjusting to our camera
Watch the Suffield Shakedown webcast on Saturday and see what teams will reveal…
