Re: pic: FRC 1086 Final Robot: 2012

Some observations from what i see...As mentioned the competiton robot
is in the background sans shooter and conveyor. It appears to be six wheel drive
with nylon wheels on one end. The ends of the frame appear to be beveled to
help the robot go over the barriers. On the practice/prototype robot the
conveyor is angled and driven by a window motor. It seems to be in line
with the shooter and gives the impression that some sort of turret will be used.
The shooter itself appears to be chain driven (No. 25 chain?) with 8" wheels.
The top of the shooter wheel appears to be about 50" off the floor. In the front
is a arm for pushing down the bridge and what appears to be another arm
that may be connected to the other one. This not only could be used to
push the bridge down, but also be used in conjuction with the beveled
frame to get over the barrier. It could also be used to right the robot if it
is tipped over forward if most of the weight is below the arms.
It appear the electronics will go low on the frame under the conveyor.
I would guess four CIMs will be used for the main drive and some
sort of cim-cim or cimulator set up will be used for the shooter.
