I just test and test

Therefore my notebook is quite the thick boi

Use a color/distance sensor and use the “detect object” function, I would recommend 2nd gen versions since they’re more consistent Basically when detected object, stop catapult motors

@@suscraft9361 Thanks! If you’re interested updates will be on my teams channel!

It’s another prototype if it work better then imma force em to use this one hahaha

It’s a bit late, since we are using the hook on a chain mechanism (it flings the rings onto the goals, very good), but yeah we tried that and it worked better. The hook mech works the best though.

Only for practice lmao

I have a new bot that can get two, I just haven’t uploaded it yet because I’m focusing on VRC stuff

Lol

Yes that’s why I changed it

I can make a gun in vrc 😱😱😱

It is currently 3:1 speed, optimized for open-field crossings and reaching the balls quicker. The downside is it turns slower, and needs to accelerate to full speed. Although, it only takes a few milliseconds to do so.

Might have taken… ahem inspiration from your double launcher

1:2 torque

@@suscraft9361 thanks

The problem was my robot was slow back then, now it’s faster and the catapult needs to speed up to keep the pace

You can see Ben Lipper’s “Spitfire” bot from pitching in, it’s the same mech. Check out joseph973’s video for close ups

Or send email

And the flashlight

That is there for low-light areas, so it can at least detect a foot in front of itself

Sorry not day I meant saying

I mean like if the meta is to go up to the wall and shoot from there, you might as well move as fast as possible to collect, aim (go up to wall), and shoot. The robot has a rubber band tensioner as well, I forgot to mention that I think

Oh I get why the piston goes back but can u explain the ratchet part pkease

The ratchet keeps it from releasing whenever it wants to, and if you’ve messed around with the slapshot field elements (purple dispenser) or made any ratchet, you’ll find out in order to spin the ratchet in the other direction, you have to release the arm that catches on the gear.

The piston just moves the arm slightly so it doesn’t contact the gear, allowing it to spin the opposite direction

Creator Academy uses a gravity gear combined with the ratchet, and is a neat part designed by the Vex IQ game masters, but that doesn’t allow you to use the two motors when the catapult is pulled back, rendering them useless for a good three seconds when running around the field for balls

@@suscraft9361 ok thank you

Used to be 11029N green house

@@suscraft9361 Aiden’s club?

Wdym? Drumroll please? Yes

@@suscraft9361 Aiden from 11029 also they have that other team I saw at worlds

I changed the design because I found out the winch doesn’t allow the catapult to suddenly accelerate the way I want it to, so I can’t launch balls from across the field.

I added a gravity gear on the new design, though

@@suscraft9361 ohh okay that makes sense

we only use 1 motor so with 2 you could def save some weight and complexity

Yeah… I noticed really early on, and I just waited for verification in the form of a comment. Thank you

Choo choo mech carry

Also when is your mech reveal, Robert has told me about your tension adjuster

Yeah we saw teams do that, and my teammate is trying to do exactly that

@@suscraft9361 alr

Thank you, we’ll try that 👍

@@suscraft9361 lemme know if it works

Just tried it, it works pretty well now. We just have to change the the standoff to something else to get the rings onto the mobile goal 👍

ye wassup lets break the algorith alreaady have 3 in 1 day less go
