Re: Unique robot design?

and as promised here is some pictures of our container design pretty much done, auto still needs fine programming but tel-op works so i don't see why auto wouldn't .

description, we have two arms double jointed and when fully extended are approx. 5 feet. each arm spins separately in a 360 degree rotation. using encoders to signify where they are. the arms are attached to a lift. that allows us to place the container on top of a 4 stack, since they spin we can be stacking totes on one end of the robot then place the RC can on top just by spinning the arms around. once the RC are captured, we fold our arms up to center the weight , and the RC's are then directly over the frame. this design allows us to pick up a can from anywhere on the field and from any position, and we can stack two at the same time as well. all together 4 seconds to grab two rc can off the step and pull them into the auto zone.

after our first trial we had to add a wheelie bar as when we first captured both RC the front end came up to high to the point were we could not drive now we drive a wheelie all the way into the auto zone then fold up.
