We won the Xerox Award at the Lone Star Regional in Houston, TX this year. The judges liked the modularity of our robot so that more than one thing could be worked on at one time, we created a spreadsheet that aided in the direction of the design efforts, the adaptation to the needs of the competition (the ramp tipping arm and the ramp supporting braces, which we added half way through the competition), and the robot's rugged good looks! (I must admit we have a beautiful robot made of mostly diamond plate.)
If you want more detail, talk to my lead engineer, Paul Osborne at
posborne@fele.com Our robot, Spyke, is on our website as well.
Thanks for you help!
