The primary drive system on PHardos is Mecanum, but we've added pneumatically-actuated drop-down center wheels that provide plenty of power when you need it most. Our "ball magnet" is composed of a spinning roller covered with super-grip cloth, and can spin in either direction (can pull balls backwards and also push them forwards for herding multiple balls). Hanger consists of a hook (not on robot in picture) powered by a tape measure (yes, you heard it right, a super incredibly strong tape measure that puts the hook into place) and a winch that pulls the robot to height. The kicker is a pneumatically actuated paddle with elastic-force assist (the elastic provides the kicking power, a pneumatic pulls the elastic and also provides the fire mechanism).

Can't wait to see you all at Dallas!
