FRC STEAMWORKS turret

grabcad

This is a turret I cadded to learn cadding. It is heavily inspired by FRC team 118 The Robonauts. It has some issues: Having a polycarbonate plate to cover the 775pros and to deflect the balls to the flywheel is not a very efficient method. A better method would have been to add a roller at that spot. Some screws are missing because of me not managing my part library correctly. Finaly, having an inertia wheel is not a bad idea at all, but having a small and thick one like this example is not efficient as first moment of inertia is proportional to the mass times the square of the radius.
