7/2/22 Pivot Design

Colin Szeto

Inspiration for this design came out of farm pivots that are used to water crops in a radius around a pivot point. This allows the team to add on a yaw motion to our racquet ball launcher. This was the final update we needed to do before the Mechanical system was complete and ready for the programmers to program.

The sprocket will be flat on the floor





















This is the turntable system that was used in FTC Freight Frenzy 2021-2022 season




The motor connected to the turntable will be connected to the rev bars underneath the shooter


The main sprocket will be stationary and the motor will rotate with the launcher assembly

We can mount the turntable onto a base plate to ensure that when the motor spins, the shooter is the component that turns and not the base of the turntable.
