Re: First Time Here & Vex Robotics Kit

Nick and I came up with a great idea last night. A Vex bot that can pick up a water bottle. This could help people who are in wheel chairs or elderly people that just cant bend over. My suggestions if you try to do that is to use gears and not the chains. Sure, chains look cool, but from my experience with the chains so far, I think they would break under the pressure. (Since they are plastic.) Omni wheels would be great to locate on the front or rear of it so it can maneuver on a dime. The programming kit would also be beneficial so you can program in the limit switch and bumper switches so that you don't destroy things in a room or over lift something. If you have any questions, I can try to give you my best educated guess () at how to build something or make something stronger etc. Finally, WELCOME TO CHIEFDELPHI!!!!
