Let's attach the ball storing pipe to the FTC robot. In previous tutorials, I've shown you the complete robot, but for this, I've removed the pipe and will show you how to attach it.
Take the hacksaw, the drill and let's cut the pipe.
In this tutorial, we record an example of how to cut the pipe to the desired length with a hacksaw. Cutting with a hacksaw is very common during FIRST Technical Challenge Preparation
In this robotics tutorial, we would discuss the length of the pipe and its dimensions. These are general considerations for every container on a FIRST Technical Challenge competition.
This robotics tutorial is about the different tools that you could use to collect the balls in a pipe on a FIRST Technical Challenge competition.
This is the task for you. We've shown you in the previous tutorials how to do it, how to use a drill and a hacksaw and a grinding stone to cut and shape a PVC pipe. Now it's your turn. Don't forget to show us pictures -> right here in the comments section
The robotics tutorial is about the shape of the pipe its advantages and disadvantages.
In this robotics tutorial, we present a solution to extending a VEX IQ attachment to handle two hex balls at a time
The tutorial is about what are the parts that you should buy to have the Ball Collecting mechanism.
The next challenge of the course is to build a container where you could store the balls (objects) that you are collecting. The first thing is to see how it works as an end result. You can use the same principle during FIRST Technical Challenge competitions. You can also fire the balls, just by rotating the axle in reverse.
In this robotics tutorial, we give a few notes for the teacher about adding an axle to the front of the FTC robot and attaching a plastic plate to this axle to make the robot collect balls.
Find a plastic element. Cut it to 200mm by 140mm and attach this plastic plate to the front of our FIRST Technical Challenge Tetrix Robot.
How to add a plastic plate to the FIRST Technical Challenge Robot build with Tetrix. The plastic plate is for collecting the balls. The plate should rotate and should be connected to the axle.
