Re: [MCC] Minimum Competitive Concept 2013

This is always easier to do in hindsight, but here goes my MCC for the 2013 season...

Drivetrain-Simple tank drive, 4wd or 6wd depending on if the team were to go long or wide.

Shooter-Fixed angle straight shooter. This type of shooter is easier to machine, and can be made in a matter of hours. To change height of shot, the team simply changes rpm of wheel. The shooter needs to be low so it can be fed from the bottom slot.

Hanging. Passive climber much like 2338 had (we articulated ours up and down so we could go under the pyramid, but the idea is much the same). No motors required. Guaranteed hang every time.
