Re: Team 3637 Fully Functional Robot with Scissor Lift and Arm - Video and Pics
Looking good, team 3637.
As a friendly suggestion, make sure your claw isn't violating rule <R04>, especially the related blue box in the rules:
Quote:
If the ROBOT includes protrusions that form the “leading edge” of the ROBOT as it drives and are less than 1 sq.in. in surface area, it will invite detailed inspection. For example, forklifts, lifting arms, grapplers. etc. may be carefully inspected for these hazards.
Reasonable efforts must be taken to remove, mitigate, or shield any sharp edges, pinch points, entanglement hazards, projectiles, extreme visual/audio emitters, etc. from the exterior of the ROBOT. All points and corners that would be commonly expected to contact a GAME PIECE should have a minimum radius of 0.125” to avoid becoming a snag/puncture hazard. All edges that would be commonly expected to contact a GAME PIECE should have a minimum radius of 0.030”.

It looks like you guys might be getting close on the minimum radius for the tips of your claws.
