06/02/12 Intake Mechanism Tests

Stand off mechanism

We have been working on a mechanism which uses stand off intake rollers to catch the sacks easier.
We tried the mechanism in several different ways.

Intake at different angles:


We found that while flat on the ground the sacks got stuck on the intake. 
However when we put the intake at an angle it had a much easier time with the sacks.

Intake multiple sacks:


Although this video was not very accurate, we found that the intake was able to successfully intake multiple sacks.

Intake attached to Vexter drive:


In order to fully test the mechanism we attached it to our mecanum drive.
Overall the mechanism was successful and will be further tested.
