Re: pic: 2106 robot concept?

Was this robot CADed in Sketchup? Personally, I've found that program hard to use, especially for detailed drawing, with dimensions, etc. If you are using Sketchup, I'd recommend converting to either Inventor or Solidworks next year. You can learn to use them proficiently in a couple of weekends, and especially when you get to know them well, they are really very powerful for mechanical design.

Good luck, these last few days should certainly be a wild ride! Keep in mind that the real goal of FIRST is not the robot, but the experience. That said, your robot certainly sounds competitive, with that range in a shooter.
