Re: pic: 522/Robo Wizards - 2008 Robot (3)
Quote:
Once a team decides to use a lifter technique as opposed to shooter, there are only a few options: Size and shape of the forks Laterally moving or stable-width forks Lift distance Method of ball release Whether or not to use an upper arm to hold the ball in If you decide to use the upper grabber assist, you now have a few more choices, but again only a few: Hinged clamp-type grabber Belts Roller of some kind - wheel or tube The fact is that this year the size and weight of the ball is what has heavily influenced robot design constraints. I am so far pleasantly surprised to have seen such a wide variety of robots, and surprised again at the number of shooters (my guess was about 5% of teams). I suspect we will continue to see a few unique applications, but that the majority of teams will come up with solutions that are quite similar. The differences we will see will mostly be on how the similar-looking devices are actuated - pneumatics, motor choices, etc. |
