I designed the robot in Solidworks with a 2 week time frame. All images were rendered in Solidworks visualize
3 sets of rollers spin to suck frisbees into the robot, the bottom roller is spring loaded to conform to the frisbee as it goes from flat to an angle up the intake
The frisbees would fall from the intake into a storage tray where the frisbees are funneled into the shooter below
The shooter has 3 fast spinning flywheels to launch frisbees out of the back of the robot
The flywheels are driven by belts attached to 550 series dc motors with encoders to monitor rpm

I entered myself into a CAD competition where I was tasked to design a robot that could pick up and shoot frisbees into a goal. I placed 5th out of 170.
