Calculations
Torsion Spring
- Analysis was done using the Work-Energy Principle with the assumption that the only work done is from the torsion spring and gravity. Because the dribbler assembly swings and has zero velocity at both positions, only the kinetic energy of the ball was used, at its maximum value of 10 m/s
Roller Speed
- Gears were selected for a gear ratio lower than 2007. The 2008 ratio is 1.5. This was with the hope of having more torque available for the roller to grip the ball.
Notes
- 4mm steel shaft chosen to increase strength to prevent bending of dribbler shaft when hit with a ball
- roller diameter - .5"
- dribbler shaft still slides free in between two snap-in thrust bearings and can be removed to allow the roller to be changed out]
