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

-Weight

 -Unknown

-CIM motors

 -4 mini
 -2 reg

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

Sun Jan 12

• 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
