"Bowled Over" started on September 10 this year. We have worked very hard and are already an 1/8 of the way through our engineering notebook. I think we may need a second volume! This year is going to be GREAT!
11.05.2011 - The racquet ball collector is the first major project on the robot this year! I am very excited and proud at the speed and efficiency of our building this year! We built the collector in a week and it works VERY well! This is going to be a fantastic year!
11.05.2011 - The ball collector has a row of wheels that pushes the balls into a conveyor belt that runs sideways. This allows us to convert the front horizontal collecting face to a vertical single-lined ball shoot.
11.12.2011 - The scissor lift is alive! It is definitely going to be able to lift six crates with a ball in each crate!
