(CAD meeting)
DT CAD updated to have most of the shaft spacing identified, and new wider wheels added. Indexer tower is almost buildable, including motor mounts, but mounting details of the whole system aren't quite finalized. It's highly dependent on shooter geometry, so we'll be waiting on that for a while.
There are now three ideas for intake:
two bars with a pivot (2 motors). This one's easy to build and fit, but also easy to break due to the current pivot design. We're almost certainly not going this way, but it is the most developed right now.
four bar linkage, piston to drive in/out.
spectrum style, see the image. Essentially idea #1 but setup to fit under the shooter even when the rollers are stretched out. It might be impossible, we have no CAD of it
Fundamentally they've all piston retracted 2 roller designs with pretty similar retracted volume, it's a matter of complexity, exact size, and packaging. We should be able to easily pick between them once the CAD of the latter two are more developed.
Elevator is started, we're looking at using the bearing blocks from the elevator prototype last year. It's a pretty simple design.
