Re: we need help
Here is 1014's working strategy document right now. This is what we are using to guide our design process at this point.
Working Strategy for 1014 Robot Design
1. We will make a robot which can score in the 2/3 goals in autonomous and teleop. (Which means it can be reloaded somehow. Possibly at the loading station. Possibly by picking up. Hopefully both.)
2. We will be able to execute a 10 point climb quickly.
3. We will be able to push other robots and/or resist being pushed.
4. We will be able to pick up frisbees from the floor.
5. Our potential human players will practice throwing for 5 (and 2) point goals.
We will also have people continue to work on climbing higher than 30 inches. If such as system is developed we will try to implement it. Such designs have to be consistent with the robot as we design it.
We will work on robot control/operation so that the robot functions well autonomously and we are able to drive it well in competition. A well driven "good robot" is generally superior to a poorly drive "excellent robot."
