Re: stationary robot

Our team is mostly made up of newer students so we decided to go with as simple a robot as possible. Our robot sets up on the scoring platform and has a gravity roller conveyor which feeds a stationary stacker from the feeder station. The totes roll down the ramp to a simple lift and when the stack is complete, a piston pushes the whole stack over enough for the next tote stack to slide in. In theory, we can stack all 30 totes from off the field if stacking one tote every 4.5 sec in 8 stacks from where we line up on the platform.
