Coach on team #419, Rambots, from UMass Boston / BC High and NONE AT THE MOMENT! .



Robots A, B, C and D on the playing field.

A can go under the bar and pull and push 2 goals.

B needs the bridge but can pick up 2 big balls on it own. It uses its arms to pull the bridge down.

C needs the bridge as well and can pull and push 2 goals.

D neesd the bridge and has one big arm for picking up balls (1 at a time) and uses the same mechanism to push 1 goal onto the bridge to balance it.

--
robot A and C have the same function but the one that goes over the bridge does it a little faster than the smaller robot that can go under.

Robot D takes them 15secs to put a ball on top of the goal, while Robot B takes 25 secs to put both balls on both goals.
