Robot tossing bucky ball into the cylinder !!!!

Hi all,

Below is a link to a video of our robot tossing a Bucky Ball into the cylinder after quite a few attempts!!!

Now do it in a match :slight_smile:

Haha, great work! We were able to accomplish this wonderful feat as well:

(Please disregard the background yelling and the misleading title)

However, as MGOD pointed out, it’s extremely difficult to accomplish this in an actual match as there are far too many variables to consider (air, positioning, timing, and luck). I’d be very surprised to see a team catapult a buckyball into the cylinder at World’s.

Impressive! I assume you used pneumatics? One of our teams managed to acomplish that with pure luck with a large ball. I guess it was called Toss Up for a reason
