 Everyone is reading way too much into this. The game piece is clearly a bunch of Opahs this year. Problem solved, case closed. Start designing your fish handling robots now. - Ryan Dognaux [more] |

One week to go... Time for the first-ever Green MacHHHHine teaser!
There could be another teaser coming later, because I really want to show you all the Harpoon of De- Oops! I wasn't supposed to say that.
What I can say, though, is that Team 1501 will really appreciate one aspect of our robot...

My guess is some kind of four-bar linkage system for lifting.
Do we get 2 points for making soccer balls in 3129's basketball goal robot?

This picture is an explanation of our kicker assembly. We stretch surgical tubing to provide the firing force. We have variable strength, and a release mechanism with only one motor. It's dependent on a assembly that works like the one determining the height of the basketball hoop. When it gets pushed in one direction, it increments the latch, but a nudge in a different direction will release the latch. To arm the kicker, we run the motor one way, then we reverse it to fire.

See it in person at SVR this Thursday!
