DR4B ERS (v3) - Ultimate Passive Intake - Tower Takeover - VEX VRC 

Looks like a really cool design. The center of mass is a lot closer to the center than some of the previous designs I've seen from you guys

You've improved a lot since the first design, very nice.

These get better and better

Amazing and thank you for sharing!

Nice design. Really helpful

Amazing design

An intellectual, I see.

This is pretty incredible. So far my team is working on a tray bit with our other small team likely going with a similar idea soon. We’ve got ours about 98% done, and it’s somewhat similar to Goofy if you’ve ever looked them up. With some alterations of course. I’m sure this type of reverse stacker will be the main opposition to tray bots this year. Good luck to you all, and may the best bot win

that extendable stacking device is actually ingenious.

I think, like some people might have said, this design can be improved if theres more options for picking up the cubes. I think rather than just vertically, you can go horizontally into it if you leave the front face of the prism open, and have a similar passive intake that lies horizontally. Since the horizontal passive intake prevents it from sliding horizontally while the vertical prevents it from sliding down, you dont need a release mechanism because it will slide down when the vertical releases. I think not the entire front face needs to be open, but just a small hole enough for a cube and maybe a 1-2 inch window for safety.

Oh, wow! I just realized that the grabber is 100% mechanical! very impressive design!

Nice job Hope you win worlds

I already had that idea 😭 now everyone's gonna use it!!

Damn I had the same idea with the extending intake

This is really nice, the only real problem I can identify is the possible difficulty that can be found on trying to fit in two stacks, which can be fixed relatively easily

Op

I’ve been working on an intake almost exactly like this, now people will think I stole, rip

How would the cubes release if you extend it outwards? And what design software do you use?

Goddamn it, stop posting good designs

what are the parts used to build the passive intake (what grips the cubes and lets other cubes push it further upwards?) thanks

what will you do for autonomous mode?

How many years have you competed already?

Can anyone point me to a place that shows how the section with the blocks pivots out of the center to place the stack. I see the pivoting arms, just not sure how its connected to the motor.

ب التوفييقق💙💙✔️ ، نحن بعد بنسوي نفس ها انشاللهه💜💜✔️. دعواتكم 🙂💛💛.

Intake mechanism looks pretty slow - and cycle times will be very important in this game. Maybe an intake which can pick up cubes horizontally (like teams used in FRC Power Up) could be faster?

Could we see your design ideas for the ultimate passive intake?

what program do you use ?

can anybody explain how this works and the claw?

I thought it was such a good design, I decided to use it (I know, I’m a copier). I built it just to figure out that the linear slides were to frickin heavy for the lift, if you have any suggestions, that would be much appreciated.

What's the release mechanism like? I also see a possible issue with the passive not being able to grip on the parts that aren't so wide

I too sing America

Are you guys able to pick up cubes at any orientation or just head on because that's kinda make or break for this design

What software did you guys use to render this design?

What software do you use to cad your designs?

Is there an available CAD or Solidworks model?

If only my brain was half as big

These animations shouldn't be used to design your bot or use the idea. They don't show you the problems and such, it just shows an idea that might work

Hello. I am a player and coachfrom China. It's really cool about ur video. How to make it? VEX VIRTUAL WORLD or something else?

so the little clamps move regardless of the fact that it should only go when you grab a cube?

Are you guys actually going to use these designs now that perhaps hundreds of people have already copied your ideas?

I don't understand how the passive intake opens up when the four bar extends all the way out

is it possible to do 2 cubes in the bigger goal with this design?

Are we able to use these designs?

What program did you use to make this?

Can you guys please make more tower takeover robot animations, I am in need of some ideas. Like if you agree

How does it release the cubes?

How does the intake release the cubes when the 4bar is extended

The arm gears look a lil too small eh?

Can I get the 3d files to get a closer look

What program is this?

They cut a spacer in half Edit: And a 5 wide C channel 6 long . . . Literal hacks

I don’t really understand. Can someone explain this to me?

Check out the FRC, its better, not to mention the fact that they copied the contest from FIRST. VEX copied the whole thing, if you want to bave real fun go to FRC
