2022年12月7日 · What are the steps to making an intake? Wheel/roller type: test a bunch of different materials to see what does/doesn’t work. Wheel speed: how fast do your rollers need to go to get the game piece from ground to inside the robot in under a second? How far away from the bumper should the first roller be? Do we need a kick bar?

2024年9月22日 · Andrew Torrance from Team 254 has provided a list of golden rules for roller intakes. The surface speed of intake rollers/wheels should be at least double the robot's max speed. If object is squishy, make your rollers rigid, if the object is hard, make your rollers compliant/squishy.

A common style of intake for gamepieces in FRC (depending on extension rules) is an "over-the-bumper" intake (OTB for short). These bring the gamepiece from the floor against and then over the bumper into another subsystem.

The 2023 Everybot Intake Kit comes with everything a team needs to build a functional intake for the 2023 FRC season. This innovative design utilizes one motor to power three rollers in the correct directions using a combination of timing belts and gears.

This intake system is a build your own intake system (assembly required) designed for FRC. These parts are intended so you can cut, change and adjust to make the intake for YOUR robot. There is included hardware to power the intake via either a gear drive or a belt drive from anything with a 1/2 in. hex output shaft.

2024年10月18日 · 1678 designed their intake polycarbonate plates to hardstop on each other in both the fully extended and retracted positions. This makes programming the intake easier, and helps the robot pass inspection by proving that the intake cannot extend past the …

2018年4月23日 · FRC47’s 2002 robot (CD7) had one of the most revolutionary intake designs of all time. It was copied heavily in nearly every ball game since.

2020年12月15日 · Can anyone share examples of ground intakes from 2013? I’m trying to figure out what techniques FRC teams used to improve the intake speed and get the robot onto some sort of transfer system and reduce jams from intaking side …

There’s one main rule when it comes to intakes in FTC: you need one. Before diving in, what is an intake in the first place? A mechanism designed to pick up game elements using some component of rotational motion powered by a motor.

2022年2月20日 · Avoid most acrylics, that'll shatter instantly if it gets hit unless it's the special impact resistant kind. Polycarb is generally what you want if you're making an intake with a lot of flex, because it'll flex and without deforming or breaking.
