We carefuly prototyped every part of it to make sure the final design would work perfectly.
-Urethane belts give extra traction
-belts aranged in a "V" configuration - work like rubber bands
-Made from 9 ply baltic-burch plywood - very light and strong
-Lego tires for added pick-up traction
-Uses two game buttons to sense tube orientation
-All pulleys are covered with individual plastic guards to prevent belts from falling off.
-The belts cannot be removed without dissasembly
-Can rotate, shoot, or suck tubes (or cakes)
-It also looks cool  |
this was easily the most unique feature at SVR. not only does it look awesome but it works very well. this feature made Team 100 the team to beat on tube scoring at SVR
