@@TheCosmobots25679what made you switch to an active intake instead of a claw? For this competition a claw seems to be the better choice due to the precision required, at least in my opinion.
@@storm_1620 We tried a few claw designs. However, we noticed that the intake speed was the biggest bottleneck with cycle times, and so we have been prototyping some active intake designs. Active intake is hard to pull off. However, we feel like it has more potential to be faster and more consistent.
Wow!
how is the actual claw secured down
It is held onto a shaft by bearings and two screws!
CAD files?
We haven't made it public because we didn't really finish iterating it. We are switching to an active intake, and will soon reveal our design!

@@TheCosmobots25679 Where is the motor in the claw mounted?
@@sanjeev4 Its mounted between the claw arms, in the back!
