Re: Team 691 Robot

Thank you for all the nice things said.

First, the robot is actually very controllable, but that day when we were practicing our driver was sick with the flu. So these are just amateur drivers. I forgot to tell you all that the robot is a four wheel drive. It is a rear wheel drive powered by the AM Toughboxes (with some major modifications), and the front two wheels are Ackerman steering. And we have our own custom 4.125" OD wheels.

Second, we actually do not have a "scoring" device. What our strategy is, is to herd the ball as we go around the track, and knock the ball off with that "fist" in autonomous mode. We herd with that angled piece of PVC in front of the robot.

Third, our robot is 85 pounds.

Keep the feedback coming.
