Questions

  • How do we stop the kicker quickly enough
  • What do we build the cradle out of

Current Design

  • shooting takes 1-2 seconds
  • a kicker strickes the ball through 2 bars (cradle)
  • Linked with intake with a motor in the cradle structure pulling and pushing intake

Equipment Requirements/Size

Thurs Jan 9

Sat Jan 11

  • Still working on Fundamentals for design
 * Calculating how far the kicker has to move
 * Calculating if motor driven is possible for Kicker
  • met with collection
  • integrate our cradle with the collection
  • What type of material should we use
  • Better to have a longer kicker than a lighter one

Accomplishments/Results

  • Kicker must move about 80 - 90 degrees
  • If you go any less than that you need more motors
  • How to stop kicker motion
 * nylon strap
 * blocking plate

End of Day Design

  • Continue work on 3D design in inventor
  • Determine geometry of Our kicker to the ball and cradle
  • our kicker has to be curved at some point so that we get the max speed into the ball rather than rotation
