Well, our CAD is finally done. Well, done is a relative term, as now is the time we start drilling first, and cadding later. Anyways, our robot is built to be a solid defender, which puts the minibot first over scoring. We are using treads, and a system to stop ourselves from being pushed sideways (try and see if you can see it in the picture!). The minibots (our fastest clocks in at 3 seconds, but its still getting better) deploy on the tray, which has been timed at .30 seconds to full extension. Our Ladder assembly on the front can reach the top rack, as well as grab from the ground. It cantilevers back into the robot at the beginning of the match, or if we are planning on doing a lot of pushing.
