Re: Grabbing 4 Bins from the step in Auto
We're doing a container grabber this year, and it's actually not that difficult. It's just some PVC pipe, and to keep the thing from wobbling all over the place, we've ran some steel cables from the end of the PVC to various points on the robot. We've over tightened the cables so that the PVC bends a few degrees near the end, resulting in more stiffness.
At the end of auto, surgical tubing will retract it all back into the robot.
It's simple and light enough that I predict teams will be adding these arms onto their robot for the championship.
