Drawing/Pics/decsriptions of 2001/2002 goal grabbers

[Starke]

This is the best picture that I could find of Team 340's 2002 robot. The grabber consisted of two claws that would open with a pneumatic cylinder. Each claw consisted of a limit switch. This made for a cool program. If one limit switch was in contact with the goal, the robot would automatically turn until the other switch was enabled. Then the claws would close simultaneously. The robot also had a lowering system. After the robot latched onto the goal, the entire frame would lower to the ground. This gave us better traction and a better center of gravity.
