Posted by Andy Baker on 2/5/2001 1:05 AM EST:



The most important part about building a combo robot is how each part fit together on the robot. It always seems easy just taking parts off and use the rest of the robot as a much lighter, smaller, faster robot.

But how do the robot fit together in the first place? Last year we did something similar, where at the end of the arm we have two rod at the end where we can attach different component on it. It was a great idea, except each component have to work around the design of the arm in order to get on the robot, and that limit the freedom of the components a lot. It was big pain trying to fit the parts together.

Well, I guess it will work better for this year's competition. I can already tell that many teams are going to have a low base, just because of the bridge and 7' tall goals (for a low CG). So that means the robot can either fit everything on the base, or build another level on top of the base.

This way, teams can design the robot so that the second level can be taken off, and have the essential parts on the base alone. Even better, teams can design robot with different second level that can do different things, and switch to a particular part when needed. This kind of robot sounds like the design of hand drills where you can put whatever bits on there and it will do all kind of things!

I wonder how many teams will actually be able to do these...
