Re: Different Types of robots

Being a rookie team, a shooter proved difficult. So the students decided to pick a simple but effective design - success! They ended up with a net assembly for catching/inbounding, and a door that can lower to pick up the ball or stay up to enclose it. During the St. Louis Regional, we had several truss catches and robots started coming up for a "kiss" assist where we passed while touching and never exposing the ball.

For defense, we were tall and had a basic, but high friction/power drive train (essentially KOP AM-14U).

We had a blast and the design proved very successful - highest rookie seed!
