2468 Team Appreciate Bot

Long Bot with six AndyMark pnuematic wheels for drive but can balance with only four wheels on the bridge due to CG being located closer to end opposite of the stinger add on. We have put tripled balanced on the practice field but not on the competition field. Link to picture. The middle robot (456) was a mecanum robot turned sideways.

We have since added a stinger to our robot as well. Link to Youtube Video with two of our old robots. Our driver, Claude was pushing bot of these robots up with the robot. The middle robot is a mecanum drive base.

We take up about 24" on the bridge to balance with the use of the stinger for a triple balance.

We can tip the bridge to us or away from us on one and away from with the other end.

Can cross the barrier or the bridge to move from end of the field to the other.

Balanced on the Coopertition Bridge in Dallas West seven matches.

Good luck to all next week.

Let the fun begin.

Will we see any strategies revealed at Championships that have not been shown yet?
