Amp Scoring | Intake vs. Shooter Testing | Ri3D Cranberry Alarm | CRESCENDO 2024

Cory from Ri3D Cranberry Alarm demonstrates scoring Notes on the Amp with an intake prototype from multiple angles and also with their current shooter design including adding an ‪@AndyMark‬ Churro . Check out the differences and lessons learned for CRESCENDO.

I love the connecting the two rollers with two compliant wheels

[@KevinBeshears]

The center distance was 3.5'', and we didn't have any 70T, 68T, or 72T gears. It.... worked....

[@Hector_Creates]

I would really like it if you guys tested the first bit but with a very low speed

[@SidneyFeelingSilly]

Seems like a good idea having it go down since that’s very consistent

[@KevinBeshears]

It is very consistent when shooting downward. We have constrained ourselves to a short bot that can go under the stage core. This makes us have to score from under the amp opening.

[@theboreditamar2108]

but how will you make the shooter aim down?

[@KevinBeshears]

We do not plan on aiming down to score. The bottom of the amp is low enough that a taller robot can drop shoot down into it.@@theboreditamar2108

[@Strang3r-Doodle]

This is amazingly helpful thank you

[@sorenhubble6531]

super helpful!

[@UnlikelyToRemember]

Love to see how effective it might be shooting at the trap!

[@corysnyder5507]

We tried shooting into the trap a few different ways, but it takes way too much force to depress the door for a launched note to score. - Cory from Cranberry

[@GalenSpooner]

how would it be if the shooter was right against the amp instead of a few inches away like it is in the video?

[@___Cake287___]

What about a speed between 15% and 20%

[@KevinBeshears]

There is probably a more optimized power that we could use, but for prototyping we went up in bigger steps.

[@goktugdsert]

is it the same angle for the speaker?

[@KevinBeshears]

Yes. We found the angle for the speaker first then tested it on the amp.
