When I say we spent six weeks designing our robot I mean we spent six weeks designing our tube manipulator.



We carefuly prototyped every part of it to make sure the final design would work perfectly.

-Urethane belts give extra traction
-belts aranged in a "V" configuration - work like rubber bands
-Made from 9 ply baltic-burch plywood - very light and strong
-Lego tires for added pick-up traction
-Uses two game buttons to sense tube orientation
-All pulleys are covered with individual plastic guards to prevent belts from falling off.
-The belts cannot be removed without dissasembly
-Can rotate, shoot, or suck tubes (or cakes)
-It also looks cool
