 According to a 6 year old I once met at a demo, our FRC machine was not a robot because, "How can it be a robot if it doesn't have a face?" - Jared Russell [more] |

Re: telescoping arm
Roccobot 2K
Roccobot 2K2 We used a two piece telescoping tower that is able to tilt all the way down. The good thing about Roccobot 2K was that it had a nice base, and it was able to evenly distribute weight even when extending to retrieve the big round balls. But it was not very strong, but did its job well. On Roccobot 2K2, we improved the arm design, but we were unable to maintain stability and balance when using the arm. Note that it had three wheels. But we made sure that if Roccobot 2K3 tipped over (which it has during competition) that it was able to right itself up easily using the arm. |
