first off, daf, our team uses plexiglass placed at the top that knocks the balls off from the bottom and it works farly well for us.
Now on to the scouting question from the post before that. Here is a picture of what our robot looked like at the end of Pittsburgh Regional and what we intend on keeping it as.
We may perfect the herding design we have right now, but beyond that I don't expect any alterations.
Specs: -6 wheel drive with omni's in the front
- Top speed of 19ft/s, although our motors were slightly out of whack so that number could go up
- Capable of knocking of the ball in both hybrid and teleoperated
- Averages approximately 8 laps a match
- Hybrid is being perfected but we expect to be able to do a whole lap
Previous Competion Record: We made it to the semifinals at Pittsburgh Regional as a first round pick of the number four seeded alliance and lost to the number one seed.
If things go as we anticipate we will be averaging 32 points or more a match.
