1. More seriously, I always think swerve drive is cool to see. So something that delivers, picks up, returns objects using swerve drive.
2. Maybe a bot that fetches the morning newspaper
3. How about something that shoots nerf balls in a basket? Projectiles are cool.
I'd love to hear ideas from Tytus, Arefin, and the others here who have spent time with the Vex kit too. |
I haven't seen this thread until I searched for my own name. Thank you Mr. Kressly for bringing up my name. I will have to agree with you on the swerve drive. I have seen a robot that John was working on (vex) that was swerve, very cool looking. It would be nice to see vex robots that clones great robots of FIRST of all time (few examples, team 67 (2005), team 45 (2004), Team 217, 229 (2005), there are many more robots I could point out which were awesome). these are just few of my favorite time robots.
The reason I didn't point out any all timer great push robots are because when students (elementary and middle school) looks at small robots, they like to see the robot do something. It would be pretty cool to see a vex robot gather white cups into one place. It would be also cool to watch two vex robot going at each other (something like battlebots). When I first looked at few of the videos from vex, I was amazed by the one kit swerve, the ribbon cutter, the ping pong ball shooter. I am sure that I am missing out a lot of things.
Tytus... you got anything?
