What are some of the ideas of the ways to move the mobile goal, we tried a lever to lift it but it got in the way.
Got in the way of what exactly? A picture or diagram would be helpful. Currently I’m using a horizontal 4 bar powered by 2 torque motors 3:1 and it can bring the goal into out robot. There other ways to manipulate the goal if you are not planning on internally stacking the cones. I have attached some external goal manipulators.
Both videos are the same concept just in different teams and angles.

Just in case you change plans to internally stack (You will most likely need a chain bar on top of your lift, or something to bring the cone into your robot while staying upright.)

There are also 1 other way that ive seen to be effective, Team IFT and Chinese teams have made a claw to grab cones and also grab the mobile goal at the same time. This method completely gets rid of the making of a 2nd intake separately for the goal but only problem is that the cones stacks cant be very high.

Hope this helped!
I will be watching throughout the internet for reveals and tournament videos throughout the year, and post them to the reveal/teaser watcher and competition watcher(I’ll probs stop near worlds though). Here are the links:

If you want to, you can look through and see if there are any interesting mobile goal manipulators
In the 8059 reveal thread there is a mogo specific bot. The lift it uses can be compacted and tweaked a little bit to fit into an internal stacker. I used that bot for my inspiration for a mogo intake.
You got it right!
In fact, our internal stacker v2 (ie. 8050f) was using this intake during singvex.
The team didn’t want to reveal v2 too early. But you can have an idea of it from the singvex final matches
Mine looks quite similar, I hadn’t even seen that video before now though. I guess bright minds think alike!
i think you made a typo as i am part of 8050:P, maybe 8059?
Yup… my mistake. And to think that I am their mentor… sigh…
@Duke4221c thanks for all the videos. Sorry it took so long to respond our team has been offered to compete in China and so we’ve been busy building. Basically it was two L channels with wheels on the end that would fall down and we would be able to use it that way, but the only problem was that it got in the way of our claw on our reverse four bar. We have now figured out a new way by using pneumatics to hinge it. Here are some pictures of our prototype version, (which is very crude) and our first version on our robot
