99999v's early season robot for Vrc Change Up. feel free to ask any questions, and have a good season. if you want to see a more detailed explanation check out the forum post: www.vexforum.c...
But here’s the thing in order for that roller to work you have to stop the front rollers which wouldn’t really matter in tournaments and state but come worlds you’re going to want something that is faster and more efficient
@@charlesmeyer7021 the back roller doesn't effect any of the other rollers lower than it. it's directly linked to the launcher, so when the launcher spins backwards it poops.
bottom one is actually 24t. middle front is 30, launcher is 30, top pooper is 30, and bottom pooper is 24. I like to stick to the larger ones for more compression and faster surface velocity.
I have a question, how did you make it so that the intakes could intake without balls rolling on top of it, whenever I try to cycle quick, the balls just end up getting stuck on top of my intake (because sometimes the ball would just start rolling and wouldn't come down so that the intakes can bring them into the robot
are you talking about the tapered chassis? its mostly to keep the chassis out of the way of any balls so it doesn't interfere. also because it looks good.
do you mean the hood? it's rubber banded to want to come up, and I just loop on of the rubber bands on the top roller around the tip of the hood so when the roller spins the hood is releaed.
why have the rubber band catch for sorting balls and not just have it shoot out the back? Is it to prevent knocking balls off their positions in skills?
there are rubber band pulling the intakes outwards. they're held in only with friction against the wheels of the robot, and when they first spin that will dislodge them.
there happens to be just enough friction between the flaps on the rollers and the top of the drive wheels that I can bend the intakes back and they will hold in place, until I spin them then they pop loose. this probably won't work on other robots though.
Hey, I have a question. Correct me if I am correct, the "flywheel" and the roller directly behind it are completely powered by 1 motor. If so do you think that is powerful enough to last a few minutes, so basically I am asking if it overheats and gets stressed quickly. Great robot by the way
yes, completely in size. I have about half an inch of space on top and lengthwise, but the width is just barely in size, probably a quarter inch of wiggle room.
@@slothmasterjack9646 I hadn't folded the robot properly for that clip. the intakes were not tucked all the way in, and I was too lazy to re-record for accuracy.
@@shad4101 atm it's all manual, the vision sensor isn't being used yet, but I intend to make it automatic using the sensor to track which color balls enter in what order.
@@xenon27272 oh I didn't know that. I thought it was automatic which inspired me to make a robot that has automatic sorting. It is working pretty well so far. I'll put a video of that on my channel if u wanna see.
well the battery isn't going to be drained more than normal by the drive no matter how fast it is, sounds like a battery problem. as far as overheating, you just need to build everything solid and with low friction.
specs are at the end of the video. as for the intakes, friction just holds them in until they first spin, which kind of dislodges them and lets the rubber bands pop them out.
@@xenon27272 With a lexan back since it is hard plastic it would be faster. But it may be more complicated. Also, the ratchet will allow it to power the flywheel when its not powering the flap on the back. Your design is simpler but I'm not sure if the cycle time would be faster. Also, Does your design have ratchets, because if one motor is powering 1 side and one powering the other it may overheat.
