Hi, I’m brand new to VEX V5 and I need some ideas. I’m planning on using a kind of conveyor belt to carry rings to the goal, how should I do this? I’m also completely bogged down on the ring intake, how should I do it?

Try to find some videos online, list your ideas, and then choose which one you want to do (take some inspiration).
Or even better, be innovative and use the EDP to design a great idea yourself. Then you can register for the Innovation Award.

Yes so for the conveyor, look into doing a hook intake. You’ll use a conveyor with 3 or 4 spots where a “standoff or something” would stand out with a piece of Lexan to hook onto the ring. Here’s an example of a hook. This intake design will work well with ladybrown, once you get to putting rings on the wall stakes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0a4li4Fcq1E
I’ll take that into consideration, thanks!
