I've been researching alot of other team's robots. The vast mojoity of robots are going with the "lower the ramp, drive up, and raise the ramp" idea for the bonus points. The student that I've been working with decided to pick up a robot. They designed and built a pneumatic arm that can lift over
100 lbs!
Does anybody know of other teams that are doing the same thing? Picking up a robot with an arm is a bit more difficult, but if it works I think it'll be awesome. Picking up a 1 lb tube is easy enough but picking up an entire robot too?!?! I will post some pics too if anyone wants to see.
Anybody making their robot so it can easily be picked up?
