really nice video that I think shows the downsides of differential even though it looks good on paper. great video

And another issue (as E’s driver) is that because the motors burn so quickly from occasionally fighting each other, it was impractical for the lift to be manual, so we relied on lift presets, making adjustment in lift height impossible during match

Could you add a single-acting cylinder to act as a lock/hardstop for the lift, and program it to keep the lift in place when the intake is running?

In theory, yes, this is something we looked into but practical space and air consumption limitations along with the thing already being super heavy just added to the ultimate conclusion that it wasn’t worth it.

Would be a genius idea if vex games lasted more than one year and you need unique ideas to keep passing people

How much does this robot weigh?

We’ve taken it apart but our huge first iteration was 33 pounds, guessing this one more in the 18-22 pound range maybe lighter

how do you guys get your rings on the mobile goal so perfectly ??

Because our differential causes varied but usually slow conveyor speeds, we decided on the plexi circle hood design. The key was lining up the central axis of the tube that the hood created with the post of the mobile goal (so if the post was longer it’d stay right in the middle of the hood all the way through). Aside from that, we used two zip ties that are secured around a standoff inside the hood and then go out through the hood and are capped by a second ziptie head. That forced the rings to smoothly realign to drop straight onto the goal.

If you used a larger sun gear wouldnt you get more torque to the lift and run the motors cooler?

Yes, but that would reduce the speed of the lift which kind of defeats the purpose, also would be very difficult to fit
