FRC Trap Mechanism + Robot Updates Explanation and CAD Stream FRC 2024 Pt 3

Just an explanation of what I've changed over the past day off-camera. Also will update some CAD.

this is what ive been saying! we need to put the arm on a swivel and mount in on an elevator like that and then boom. fast asf at scoring AND tall enough to reach the trap. absolutely wicked design bro.

[@lucastornado9496]

I only worry about CG when its at the stance at 1:57

[@richardsouza2028]

Dude, Amazing Job! I hope to see your robot in the championship !!!

[@ryluz3350]

This is awesome! One thing: how do you ensure your rollers leading into the shooter won't rip the game piece apart/apply unnecessary friction? Any ideas on countering this effect in a robot?

[@howlongismydesign]

As of right now, I just put like 0 compression on those rollers and pray, lol. I think it's like 1/8 or 1/16, then rely on the tape/silicone rubber on the tube to add the tiny bit of "grip".

Hi, we are a new team and your design is really amazing! Do you mind if we take inspiration from your design?

[@laurentbehaghel4840]

Hello Great Job ! Laurent

[@吴志君-d7c]

That is a great design in such a short time. We are almost a new team in 2024 season and how can we get your design to learn about the details?

[@lucastornado9496]

Could you release this CAD model by any chance? My team is interested in your elevator+swivel arm and would love to see the model for it!

Someone find me the background music I could cad for hours to this jam

Its called 2:33 am

[@BasicPurple]

does your onshape lag if so what do you do to reduce it

[@howlongismydesign]

Good onshape practices usually help, multi doc, using simpler features, simplified models, ect.

[@BasicPurple]

gotcha, thanks

[@erdincugurlu9923]

We tried your shooter part, but we couldn't get a successful shot.

[@howlongismydesign]

try to make the polycarb rollers free spinning, I haven't been able to prototype for that but so that was based all on vibes.

[@erdincugurlu9923]

The problem was in the ejection part, we tried that system by compressing it on both sides and it was successful. @@howlongismydesign

[@erdincugurlu9923]

Thank you very much for your sharing. We produced the robot inspired by your CAD drawing, all its functions work perfectly. If you want, we can offer our robot to you.

What team are you on? I’d love to watch your team online while you compete.@@erdincugurlu9923
