Ball or Bar

[<=/cold\=>]

First post ever. From the impression that I got when we were discussing it at one of the meetings, we are going by priorities if we finish something and still have room and weight left over we will make the next peice on the list. In the order of:
1. Small Ball collector & plow/corraler
2. Big ball arm
3. bar hanger device

Just one thing, if you don't plan your mechanisms in the first stages of design, they probably won't get done, and if they do, they wont work that well.

Just a thought...

Full Treads with double secret probatio.... a super secret* tread system attached to the front of the robot to climb the 6in lip to the bar.

Ball collector

Two hooks to hang

No 2x ball control

*not really PM me and I'll send you the link to the site we got the idea from.

I think controlling the 2x balls is more important than hanging on the bar (if you can get 5 balls in its worth the same amount as hanging). It's not that hard to make 5 balls in the stationary goal. Considering the trouble of getting up onto the platform, it's much easier to score the small balls and a muliplier.

Now what my team will actually do...
