Vex Spin Up Motor Sharing concept

I am making a video sharing my idea of how I am planning to use one motor to power two systems. I'm going to try to use a motor to power the intake and the roller spinner mech. I'm going to try my best since I haven't done anything like this before and it is very complicated since both of the mechanisms require different gear differentials and gear ratios in order to be powered. the intake mechanism needs a one to one gear ratio, meanwhile the roller spinner needs to have a higher torque to spin the rollers based off what I've seen so far.

Try a flex wheel intake if you can instead of using chain. Chain is just a pain in the butt to deal with. Also to get rid of the shooting mechanism which loads it try getting pneumatics and use a double acting piston that goes backs and forth.

We dobt have prenumatics and I don't know how to use it so we'll have to see if our school gets it. If they do I wanted to try it as the mechanicanism instead

[@ivanright9997]

Great idea. I’d advise you could also you a differential design to allow you to use the out put of the two motors to power the intake and indexer while also having two other outputs (one for roller and another for something else).

just ratchet it to intake

[@lucaszhang8226]

During your motor sharing concept choosing between red and green, if you do the math the green setup you had would spin that 84 tooth at 30 rpm yet since the red motor input speed is 100 and your doing around 2:1 gear ratio which means you are spinning it at double the original speed which is 200.

Flywheel doesnt need to spin nearly that fast, also invest in a few flexwheels, at least 1 for the flywheel would do you wonders.

[@VRC49637ABCDS]

Yes I told our school to order them. This is just a pre season robot nothing too serious, it's just testing the concepts we can use in the future

@@VRC49637ABCDS actually the fly wheels does need to be spinning that fast. quick tip of advice : if you dont have motor cartridges it can spin 3600 rpm which is usually the prefered rpm

[@rahilshah6337]

lower the pivot point of your floating intake and itll jam a lot less. Right now your floating intake isnt floating properly

[@338AIterated]

its a 1:5:1:5 so it should be a 25:1 i think

[@VRC49637ABCDS]

Thanks for the information

@@VRC49637ABCDS ngl that is way to fast and I would recommend a different ratio
1;15 is more than enough

That's gonna burn out very fast

[@VRC49637ABCDS]

It lasts like 11 minutes based off playing with it I think

It's just like my old one...

Hi Taran

[@loganf4346]

This is janky but, somehow kids in my org still make jankier bots.

[@VRC49637ABCDS]

I already finished it. It was a concept so I didn't even bother to use collars or anything else you would need to build a robot.
