After kickoff, we jumped right into prototyping! We researched designs used by teams in years past to get a general idea of what we wanted our storage system to look like. After we found some good references, we tested out two types of systems; pulley and wheel.

We started by using belts to move the cargo, but quickly found out that the belts would not stay seated in their wheels. Then, we started using smaller black rubber wheels to move the cargo, which worked better. We ended by trying to connect the two rows of black wheels, and were close to getting it working.

We finished the fist prototype design and tested it to see how well it worked. We found that we needed to do some small tweaks like make the back board a little closer and move around the height of the wheels. We tested the capability of it by hand feeding two balls and out taking them as needed.

Today, our storage team worked extremely closely with intake in order to get the intake and storage to work as one mechanism. We mounted it 11" away from the bumper, and then we added Lexan in a curve following the trajectory in order to make the transition smoother. We attached the top two axles to belts and pulleys in order to make them move simultaneously and then tested intaking the balls up the storage. Our goal when intaking was to try to find a point that the ball jammed, in order to find flaws in our design. We discovered that the ball got stuck between the second intake axle and the first storage axle when we out-took the ball, so we put Lexan over that gap to solve the issue.
