Hands Free Drive Station

Our team as a fun offseason project decided to make our drive station hands free. We took a snare drum harness and put some new steel braces on it. Then made a plexiglass shelf. Finally, we programmed in an xbox controller.

We have video.

Very simple, but effective. Great job, and it all looks nice.

Now that i see this, our team kinda needs to build something similar. We have a small robot that is equiped with a catapult shooter for shooting candy (we use this during the memorial day parade every year.) we always have trouble holding it.

This is creative, effective, and just plain cool. Good job, Mechatronics!

1625 ran a drum harness in 2011 to let the driver wander as he pleased to see tubes and pegs better, he had a long tether back to the computer. That drum harness is quite handy to have.
