Our main design was the drop arms. With these we will be able to lift 2 of the cans off the step at a time, while keeping them upright for all robots to use. We pick up the first set in auto and then move to building stacks of totes with a can and a noodle from the human player station. We use two arms with MiniCIMs and a over 200:1 gear reduction. This should conceivably allow us to lift a stack of 6 totes and a can at the end of our foot-ish arms. A drive train powered lift will pick up a can and build stacks inside the robot.

See you at Lake Superior and 10K Lakes.
