Re: Weight Issues

Our gearing is 3:1 using the two drill motors tied to two wheels apiece set in low speed.

We have been doing some tests with our plow. We have put rollers on our plow that help to prevent our robot from riding up over balls and getting jammed. We have two ~20'' arms (with latex tubing as a safety shock absorber allowing full retraction when rammed into things), giving us ~50'' of reach. Our strategy will be to run into as many balls as possible and push/shoot them into our goal (controlling them is too hard).

We are setting aside the last week for testing and will go to a regional pre competition event before shipping.

How do our designs look?

I am sure they are not terribly original but we hope it produces a sturdy and simple machine. Any thoughts?

Best regards
