Thank you for posting all of the great robot pictures. I have really appreciated seeing all of the great ideas. My team is rookie team from Alberta, Canada, and we have tried to make a simple and effective robot that has several strategy options for tournaments. Our robot is a six wheeled slide-drive-like robot with a three segment cascading forklift that raises an arm with two joints which holds two rings and can reach all three rack heights. Our robot also has a four segment ramp which can be released to allow other robots to climb onto our robot for the end-game. We will be competing Saturday, January 12 at the Canadian Championship.
We have a video of our build season, with more of our robot coming soon, on our YouTube channel:
