Re: Announcing the 2013 December Design Competition
I'm not sure I can really count this as an entry, since I have no clue how to get Blender to give me a good .step file, so here are some pictures of my design, along with a link to the blend file.
I designed this robot to be built on the resources budget of my team, which is hand tools, very limited machining sponsorship, a ton of VEX parts, and the welding class three hallways down. In practice, it would lift one human-fed crate at a time up and deposit it onto the shelf. It features:
- Wide configuration Kitbot
- 4-CIM Drivetrain
- Three-tiered electronics board
- 80/20 - based elevator
- VEX rollers to deposit crate
- Andymark Wormbox powering the lift
- Machined container with sponsors' logos cut into the sides
The pictures are here:

And the blend file:

It has been a fun design season. I am excited to see what everyone else came up with!
