The Goal
The goal when creating the chipper was to simplify the design. We incorporated a Flat Solenoid as to fit the geometry of our robot. Essentially the solenoid armature slides barely touching the bottom plate hitting a pivot arm which the golf ball is resting on. This applies a force at a 55 degree angle upwards.
Armature Distance Tests
Tests were performed on 11/15/15 to test the distance the armature needs to be outside the chipper solenoid to maximize power output.
| Armature distance from front edge (in) | Ball distance (in) | 1st bounce distance (in) |
| .5 | 34.5 | 10.5 |
| .7 | 40-44 | 17 |
| .9 | - |
10 |
| 1.1 | 28 | 8.5 |
| 1.3 | 14 | 4 |
| 1.5 | 1.5 | 3 |
The maximum determined distance was still insufficient for the chipper to gain any significant vertical distance.
