Thanks and thank you for sharing your practice field. Leominster Youth Robotics World Facility, "The Official Practice Facility" for Green Egg Robotics ;-) Good luck to your team at Worlds. The guys on our team were impressed with your robot's efficiency and your team driving skills.
@christophercorrea14 Thanks. They controlled the dropping of tubes through how they programmed it. They had it set so that if you pressed one button on the controller, it activated the pneumatics for a brief burst allowing for one tube to drop. If they pressed another button it allowed the pneumatic to be activated longer and it would drop the whole stack off the needle.
@christophercorrea14 . Rubber bands pulled the the shaft's of the pins down creating a "T" to keep the tubes from falling off the rectangular needle unless pneumatics were fired. When the pneumatic piston was fired, it pushed down on the the center of the 2 pins creating an upward "V"..that allowed the tubes to pass over the pins. Hope that helps.
@christophercorrea14 I'll give it a try. It would be easier to show than describe but I don't have any pics or close up video to show you. The intake needle had 2 pivoting pins in a winglike mechanism that created a one way valve when the pneumatics were not activated. The 2 pins used rubber bands to pull them down against a stop into a "T" position. When the needle was pushed down into the center of the tube the wings pivoted allowing the tube to be clicked in. cont'd
@789Bill Wow! Thats really ingenious. We also had a needle intake, except we used two intake rollers instead of pneumatics. Also, how did you control it so that only 1 tube would drop at a time?
bro this the meta for this years game 💀💀
vex made 1 game 3 times 💀💀
@@Nexxal fr, this years game is just a repeat with different positioning
Not really I think i prefer the intake since its just 2 ring per robot I do like the descoring lift though

Great Robot! You guys are always amazing
@the2schell Yes, we do. Thanks for asking. The team is in the process of rebuilding Fred V. We are planning on attending Worlds in April.

See now this is what I call a good robot. Disco Bots cant touch dis! :D

hey this a great design and i am wondering if you guys mind me posting your latest video to some Chinese Video Sites(with citation of course).

@wesparson Thanks!
What was the soundtrack?
Hi, I was really interested in your robot. How exactly did you use pneumatics to control your intake? That really confused me.
Thanks
