New catapult bot! | Vex IQ Rapid Relay | Work in Progress

i swear i didnt copy ben lipper lol
Any suggestions? Comment down below!
Drivetrain: 3:1 speed ratio
Catapult: 2 motor 1:2 torque
Band tensioner: 1 motor idk ratio but its torque to say the least
Intake: 1 motor 2:1 speed
There is a distance sensor in the front “bumper” of the robot to automatically adjust rubber band strength. This is used to make the catapult fire accurately into the bottom goals from any range (hypothetically). It currently works from a range of three feet, after that either the ball misses or the distance sensor bugs out.

Don’t mind the 36 tooth gear connected to the 1x1, that was there for measurement

Nice robot 🤖🦾🦿

[@user-kl3zr2tq2s]

And the flashlight

[@suscraft9361]

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

I personally think the origninal rachet mechnism is fast enough

[@suscraft9361]

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

[@CooldudeplayYT]

Thats awsome man

[@9933X_EquinoX]

bro anyway to send pics of the shooter

[@suscraft9361]

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