Progress Report

We're using a direct drive, front wheel system. We have created and arm the can move up and down, and grab the objects with two moving arms. Our only bib problem is the matter of weight. We decided to move the arm sideways on the base. Hopefully that will work.

Build Reflection

The thing I am most proud of about our robot, is that we had the only bot that could successfully put a ball in the basket. One idea that worked well was the double conveyor belt system, which transported the tennis balls. Another good idea was putting treads between the wheels and the motors; connecting both front and back wheels. There isn't much I would have changed about this build, except for maybe that we didn't come up with tread idea till part of the way into the competition. I think our robot did very well, but I did not care for the attitude of other teams.
