Go to Post I frequently summarize the core mission of FIRST as inspiring the smartest high school kids to study science and engineering, so they don't become lawyers. (It's about 70% in jest) - MikeE [more]

Re: pic: Outreach Frame/Prototyping Robot

This robot mainly started as a design for a T-Shirt Cannon, then we decided that it would be nice of we could change the top modules and use it for prototyping mechanisms. Part of the reason we didn't want to do a vertical electronics board was because we were looking a a T-Shirt Cannon module and a few others that would already take up most if not all of the space above the frame. As for potential intake mechanisms most of the time we build those prototypes separately due to the fact that they can require cutouts or other specialized parts or locations for a competition robot. Most of our prototype shooters have been hand loaded during initial testing, then we work during integration and in CAD to make sure that they work together. This is why we didn't really design this with intakes in mind. The purpose of this protobot was mainly to prototype shooters and things that weren't necessarily specialized to any particular robot. I feel that how it is laid out works well for how our team works in the early stages of build season. It may not work for others out there but it fits well into how we work during the prototyping stage already. I hope this helps to clear up why it was designed this way.
