Re: Describe Your Robot Design
 

Team 573:

- Capable of herding but only as a last messure

- Using an advanaced program (that we are chosing to keep secret) for hybrid mode, will integrate the RoboCoach with a FIRST supplied IR board.

- Forklift style of arm capable of reaching up to 90" and able to hurdle and place the track balls

- Using a slightly differentiated style of the six wheel drive with omni wheels at the corners and are capable of going 19ft/s.

- Ready to Compete!

Re: Describe Your Robot Design
 

1) 2 speed, 6wd w/custom 4" (me thinks) wheels with IFI wedgetop traction. 16ft/s in high gear.
2) Elevator system powered by 2 banebots motors with pneumatically powered kicker inside the claws for hurdleing.
3) Pneumatically powered spherical claws for grabbing track ball
4) No hybrid due to frying the IR board the first time it was powered on, turns out the wires came backwards and we just matched up the colors =/ and then ordering complications (we still don't have it) but our twin has their IR board =D. Maybe we will have it ready by competition.

The first and only "real" test 3 days before shipping:
