Re: pic: Team 987 The High Rollers' 2008 Robot

-Two speed transmission: 4 ft/s and 16 ft/s
-6061 aluminum arm 3/4" X 1-1/2" tubing
-Two pistons at the base of the arm for reclining ability/shock absorbing
-Spring loaded claw that folds in for starting position
- Autonomous bar that flips up in autonomous to "rake" the ball off of the overpass; use IR to choose which slot to knock ball off; use encoders and a gyro to keep track of the robot's position
-Globe motor worm gear boxes (one on each side of the arm) to lift arm, inspired by team 60
-Two gas shocks(45 pounders) to aid with arm lifting
-Encoders for arm positioning and pre-sets for scoring and pickup
-The "engine" : custom accumulator and regulator mount (is right behind the lexan in the picture), previously shown on these forums
