Re: Antenna design

On FRC3005, we used black 1/8" polycarb for our antennae. There is also different colored tape on the front and back of each one so the driver can tell the orientation of the robot.

You can vary the width of the antenna to change how "floppy" they are while driving around and still making sure they are compliant enough to bend down under the low bar. Be sure to pack a few extras, we lose 1-2 per competition.
