could you tell me the distance from the floor to the center and from the end of the chassis to the center of both the first and second wheels please, I want to try this intake

[@airannagriecci5155]

How far apart are the wheels from each other? Are they the same on the top and the bottom?

[@PaoloReyes]

This is the way to go

[@SomeGuyOnTheInternet118]

Do you have a plan to orient the cones to a position to place them after intaking them?

[@samanthatarnowski5528]

Yes. Our passive pneumatic gripper will be on an arm. We will have a new video out later with an upgrade of it, but we have the first design shown here th-cam.com/video/v1esWoCvdas/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=FirstUpdatesNow

If you want to save $$ you can 3dp them either all tpu oe aomwrhinf like pwtg wheels with tpu tire

[@ThunderhawkZoe]

What is the center to center distance for the wheels?

[@kselavko]

Center to center 8.75 inches
Wheel diameter 4 inches

[@crabbyrobots]

does anyone have the dimensions for this prototype?

[@benmartin2873]

We have a Chief Delphi thread, I’ll be making a post there on this likely Thursday as a few people have asked.

[@fossjw]

Can you post a sketch of this with dimensions between wheels, and distance to the floor? Do you think it would work with smaller flex wheels?

[@benmartin2873]

Still working on this, will likely be a couple days. We tried it with a tube roller and that was too small, a 2in wheel may work but it does need to clear the bumper. IMO if we had more time, I would add a roller a few inches over the internal bumper edge to help it kick up more and get fully seated in the robot.
