VEX IQ Slapshot Robot: Shotgun Robot Reveal
Ғылым және технология
Here's me and Ben's most recent robot for this year: Shotgun!
After many questions and emails about close-ups of this robot and how the mechanisms work, I decided to make a robot reveal.
This reveal should answer all your questions about "How does [x] work?" If it doesn't, feel free to shoot me a comment, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
Specs:
Drive (2m): 2:3
Arm (1m): 3:1
Spinner (1m): 1:15
Shooter (1m): 1:1
Good luck this season!
As always, like and subscribe, and let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Sharky
Can you send me build instructions for shotgun. This is a robot I would really like to build
How did you get the disks to not jam the magazine when dumping the blue dispenser? Do you have something on the ramp?
I NEED IT
How many motors did you use
How did you all prevent the first disk that falls into the collector at the bottom by the launcher from moving too far forward? Our launcher works but sometimes the first disk falls too far from being hit.

Make sure the platform the disk lands on covers the whole surface area of the disk
How do you make the discs always go into the shooter thee right way?

The short answer is that they don't always. Most on the time they'll funnel well, but sometimes not. Basically there are two key parts that make it work. First is the angled piece on top of the hopper that only lets a few through at a time. It's much easier to load a few at a time rather than a bunch all at once. Then there's the actual magazine. It is shaped as much as a circle as possible because that makes it harder for the disks to land sideways in it and jam, because more than one don't really fit next to each other, but it still does happen for us sometimes. Good luck!
Amazing! We were are the competition at Pasadena today and we got Ben Lipper to sign our soda can. We were going to ask for your signature too because one of our teammates really like your videos and we think you’re underrated, but we were too shy to approach you and didn’t know if you would agree to sign something of ours. Thanks for managing the competition!

Hello, yes I totally would have signed your can. Ben's a lot scarier than I am. It was great seeing you guys play, and good luck in the rest of the season!

Hi. I am looking to see how your shooter works. I have something similar but would love some close ups on how your shooter works. My robot is very similar.

There are some close-ups in the reveal that should give you a pretty good idea of how it works. If there is something specific I can try to explain it to you.

@@pendals54 There is a standoff at the end of the shooting arm that the rubber band is attached to. It can really be anything though. Just something on the end of the lever-arm that lets the rubber band pull and give power to the shooter.
