Left or right handed robot?

Well I was wondering if your robot was left or right handed. Our robot isn't designed far enough to tell yet BUT it will be either. What I mean by left and right handed is that your shooter is on one side or the other on your robot. If it’s in the center then I guess its ambidextrous!!

A robot with hands would be cool!

Re: Left or right handed robot?

Hmm. Some drivers tend to turn left or right more frequently; maybe this would make a right or left handed robot?

Re: Left or right handed robot?

Ours is a centered shooter... but like most years, our driver station is on the right and the ball handler is on the left, which I guess makes our driving setup British.

Re: Left or right handed robot?

Our robot is ambidextrous. It's asymmetrical.

Re: Left or right handed robot?

LEFT HANDED

ours had to be on one side or the other and we figured we would have a slight advantage during autonomous if we were left handed.

Re: Left or right handed robot?

By shooter, do you mean at the center? cuz then we're none. But our kicking device is in the middle, so i guess ambidextrous.

Our robot has the shooter right in the center and , so far the bot is completely symmetrical, save the controls board.

Re: Left or right handed robot?

our design calls for the launcher on one side or the other. We chose right handed because the team figured it would be more natural that way (Our team is mostly, if not entirely, right handed this year)

Re: Left or right handed robot?

It can rotate about 85 degrees from center to either the left or the right.

Re: Left or right handed robot?

Our practice 'bot and our competition 'bot differ slightly in one spot. One uses the KOP's left-handed window motor, and the other uses the right-handed one.

But the overall design has no preferred handedness.
