Pushback Intake Concept

2025

This is a CAD concept I designed for a VEX V5 intake for the Push Back season. I designed it to intake horizontally, to intake vertically from matchloaders, and to intake vertically off the ground. A pair of laser cut side plates carry the rollers, driven through a set of red gears off a single motor cartridge. I sat a game ball in the mouth of the intake to check the spacing. These images are a design study rather than a finished build.
