Re: Best landfill bots
We can do either. Competing in Ventura this week and SD next...just as fast LF as HP.
The Achilles of a majority of teams regardless of HP or LF design is that they have to place themselves perfectly(wasting time)...we built our bot to be able to manipulate any object in any orientation... with an adjustable Pneumatic stable fork max height and Omni H drive. So LF is no issue can grab any two totes either direction or upside down one (maybe two)... and HP as long as we are there we can easily stack and control totes out chute door. Same time to build any stack from either...and HP load RC's to top on side or standing.
We'll see how that translates this weekend on a real field. It should do well based on past events I viewed of other bots and practice.
I am in awe of 1114...by far best bot. Outstanding for a single bot engineering wise blew my mind.
I would not say we are LF oriented rather Field oriented. Should be fun.
