I’ve been looking at different robots but I’m still a bit puzzled on how I can do this. Anyone know how I can make a mogo tilter on the back with a pneumatic piston and a motor? We already have a fixed pneumatic clamp but are trying to make it tiltable. Thanks

A picture of your existing clamp would be very helpful for helping figuring out how you need this to work. I have a few ideas for you but they are all dependent on what you have now so if you can send a picture of that I’ll try my best to help.

Hello there i ran into this issue too where i had an extra motor but needed a back clamp/tilter. I managed to come up with this design, its a bit bulky and you might have a hard time fitting it on your robot if you dont have much space but this is just a motor and it can clamp and tilt a goal back a…

Ty for the pictures I’ll seeing if I can do something similar to it

Could you send a video of this in action? I’ve spent like 5 minutes looking at this and I still don’t understand how it works lol. Its a great design and really unique, I’m really impressed and also very confused on what is even happening so great job figuring out how to make that work lol.

I could try to Monday morning if i can remember but its basically 2775j’s mogo mech but with a motor, so when the gear spins backward the standoff pulls the clamp shut then proceeds to pull the goal back. Thats the best way i can try to explain it but if i can remember i will record it in action!

Ok I looked at the pics a bit more (thank you for taking so many I wouldn’t have figured it out without all those different angles) and I think I understand how the clamp works now (it looks like the motor drives 12tooth which spins the green gear which pulls back the standoffs that are on the clamp…

Alright so on the 3rd picture (the one facing the clamp head on) you can see the stand-off below where the clamp part pivots. This standoff has bolts screwed into it through the c-channel which serves at a pivot point. So after the clamp closes on the goal and has no where else to go, the gear conti…
