Arm Prototype
For our arm dessign we decided to use a back-flip arm for our most recent ideration, we chose this dessign because its efficient, effective and fits well with our catapult. For our arm we are using 2 motor to lift with a 1-5 ratio, we have a passive intake to grip onto the caps when stacking them on the posts.
With this dessign we can only score the low posts because we have no way of extending our arm, in a stretegic way this works out for us because most teams cant score high posts so we are at an even playing feild.
We have a cut c-1x3x20 with a circular cut out to help ligne us up with the post, this dessign works very well and makes it significantly easier for the driver.
For the future we plan to make the claw hold the cap a little tighter and add arm states to hold the cap off the ground when driving to the post
