shooter
indexer
The shooter has the same width as the robot's perimeter (27.1 inches). It launches 3 game pieces simultaneously at a rate of 12 fuels per second, thus, with the support of odometry and limelights, it guarantees high precision and scoring. To ensure a rigid structure and accurate kicking, we used aluminum materials and polycarbonate rollers covered by silicone tubes in the shooter's structure, which weighs 26 pounds.
The indexer is a set of polycarbonate rollers coated with silicone tubing, fixed at an angle to ensure a high flow of fuels to the shooter. All rollers are driven by a Kraken X60 with a 3:1 reduction, guaranteeing speed and resistance in the contact and handling of game pieces.
intake
The intake features a rack system, machined from 0.6 inches polycarbonate for strength, along with 9 wheels with a diameter of 4 inches positioned 5.1 inches from the ground, which collect the fuels. The intake is connected to the hopper system, with 0.15 inches polycarbonate plates braced on the sides, which extend along with the intake, with also a net that ensures the collection of 60 fuels.
