Work Completed
- adjusted the design for ball storage
- started a new prototype for ball storage
- built 2 beams as supports for 1 layer of polybelt with bearings on the ends
- cut 4 pieces of clear plastic tubing as rollers for polybelt
- cut 2 pieces of wood to begin building the bottom layer for the prototype
- Intake prototype tested on RAT, works like dream baby
Challenges
- drilling the holes for the bearings in the metal
- getting the bearings into the holes that we drilled
Work for Next Meeting
- Talk to James and continue working on the geometry of the encoder and gate mechanism that feeds balls into the flywheel of the turret, maybe add to the 2D side view schematic that he already has up or make another one
- Need to find a good geometry and spacing of the bars that allows the ball to be compressed just enough that it can fit through the gaps between the bars and bumper and fed into the mechanism that brings it towards the turret
- Need to figure out a good/reasonable amount of compression for the ball
- Now that prototype is done, can test for these. Gate/storage/feed system needs attention.
- continue building the protoype for ball storage
