Team 1072 (Harker Robotics Team)'s bot: Tork
This is our first year doing FIRST, and we're really proud that our bot works
![]() It lifts boxes, stacks, and even traps people against walls! http://sovereign.alnora.com/Tork/Tork.html pic captions: 1: Tork on top of our makeshift ramp 2: Tork with boxes going down our makeshift ramp 3: our president trapped between a robot and a hard place 4: our faculty advisor in the background, with our driver inside the bot 5: some of our team with some of Saratoga High's team at their test ramp.

Not very fast, but our strategy does not rely on stacking anyways.

I like your method for changing orientation of the box(s)
As a veteran of FIRST, I must say, protect those cables in back. They will get hit with something, at their mounting point, when you least want it too, with the worst possible results. You have a lot of weight you can work with, even if you are at 130lbs. If you have a drill press, put some symmetric holes in those side plates with a decent size hole saw. If that's 1/8" aluminum I can forsee about 5-7lbs you can drill out of those plates. You look like you may have a decent CoG, so if you do drill out those plates, add weight at the bottom. But by all means, Protect those mounting points for the cables holding your stacker system. |

we actually spent alot of time screwing with the CoG, not cause it was top-heavy, but cause it kept tipping backwards. you want us to protect the cable going up to the pulley? or the pneumatics tubing?
