Re: Minibot Standardization (FRC 2011: Logomotion)

Sorry, not to be negative, but I don't think that this will work. There is no universal Minibot, so there is no universal deployment system. If teams collaborate and make identical minibots, then there would be a greater chance the deployment systems being universal. Our team's minibot is looking like it will be a rounded shape, which would not fit in a deployment system for a boxier robot. Likewise, boxier robots will not fit into our deployment system. I would recommend that the closest thing that there is to a universal deployment system is a flat sheet of metal with holes drilled in it at a regular interval (1/2" maybe?) with didviders that could fit into the holes and be secured to hold the minibots.

Sorry for being slightly negative, I am open to any ideas if people have them.
