"It's the Claaaawww"........ prototype.

[MrForbes]

neat prototype!

We have a rule: We make no rules about what materials we can use, the GDC does that for us. Our 2009 robot was made mostly of plywood and plastic pipe, and it was the most effective robot we have made. It even had a couple wood 2x4s in it!

Our prototype has two pieces of plywood also, but they work differently. We used a pneumatic, outside, single point grabber in 2007 and were not real pleased with it, even after a redesign between regionals. We're going for the inside grab this year, wish us luck! and when we get it actually grabbing a game piece under computer control, we'll put video up.
