Hey, so out robot is using a Chinese intake (the intake where you have you rollers layered and geared) and we are flipping it up but it doesn’t seem like the spacer in between the arm and roller is holding up well. We are using a big white spacer and a sreward joint. So my question is how are the chinese teamsdoing it and making it more reliable.
what exactly is your issue? is your flipout joint physically bending?
Yes and our rollers can not go back as far as the robots in the video.
We are doing a flip down too. What we found is that our motor is coming in contact with our 4 bar resulting in less of an angle of flip.
Personally our robot had that design the first competition, then we shortened the drive base width and length. The length so we do have to flip our intake out. And width so we can have flip our wheels in the back for the support. Tell me if this helped
Do you mean that you don’t have to flip the arms out?
they are in dimensions as is
Another quick question, how did you attach the rollers to the arms?
Did you use hinges or was it something different?
My team used joint screws to attach the rollers to the arms.
