that is so awesome that I’m finding it hard not to drool on my keyboard. our school t-shirt cannon bot just got pwn3d. I see you found an application for your quad-track platform.
Beener, you are a lucky son of a gun. How many aluminum plates is that…30? Not to mention all of the other expensive stuff! That picture is now almost the only reason why i even come on here anymore.
Oww, that part about drying out your eyeballs reminded me about when i asked a question, “If you put a vacuum cleaner hose to your eye socket and turned it on, would your eyeball get sucked out?” Yeah… it kinda hurts to read, doesn’t it?
Not to get off topic, but your eyeballs would stay in because the muscles would hold it in.
Nice robot! I wish I had the money to build this! What does it shoot? In your videos, it looks like water baloons. And what kind of relays are they? If they work with vex, I might need one! Vex is amazing!
I’m pretty sure it was not shooting water balloons, I suspect they would disintegrate as soon as they were fired. My guess would be tennis balls, or something like that. In one video, I saw some paper or something come out, so possible it is oddly shaped objects in a sabot? (if that is how you say it).
I was shooting 1lb. bottles of water. It blows the label off the bottle at 150psi. With the 400 cubic inch pressure tank and 1" high flow valve it really releases an enormous amount of energy very quickly.
The turret just bolts to the Tank. It could be removed and bolted to something else and still function.
