Re: When good robots go bad...
Team 1064 had a very ambitious initial design. We were going to have the base that we have now with a pair of uprights on the large wheel side. These uprights would support an arm mechanism that could rotate from front to back of the robot and slide up and down the uprights. This arm would be able to grab large balls and cap goals. The arms would also have hooks on the end of them for the hang - part of the reason they move up and down. The other reason to move up and down was so that we could cap our robot - we had planned on having a basket on the rest of the robot that would actually hold two large balls (I told you it was ambitious!). The design worked out out so that the basket would fold out and be just large enough for the balls, yes still leave room for the arms to grab a third large ball and hold it anywhere on the robot. The basket was also going to have a roller at the bottom so that small balls that were captured during the ball dump could be fed to the human.
Looks a bit different now, doesn't it??) www.firstwildbeast.com
