Would you define modular please? Do you mean a removable subsystem?

our team is building a modular bot. our current plan is to make two mount points on the front so 1 large or 2 small devices can be attatched.

Our robot will have retractable arms for sure. We will try to build a stacker and throw it on if there's time and wieght permits. The stacker is not allowed to interfere with the production of the rest of the bot. As for swapable subsystems, probably not.

We're thinking of some modes for the bot. Confidential
![]() Unknown to anybody outside our team...Chuck was modular last year. We in fact had a ball hopper...it was never used. It was destroyed after Nats to make space. |

also we have a primary design, our team is considering building additional modules, mostly because we cant agree, but also because it would help us adapt to our opponent, and ally robots since there are so many different strategies.

If the point of being modular is to adapt to different opponents and allies, what happens when all four robots in a game are modular?
I forsee some kind of secret veil to be put over the robots and removed at the last possible moment so that nobody knows what mode you are in. |

Rookies: Quick tip for modular bots: Note Rule M5. All your possible modular systems have to clear the 130lb weight limit, with all installed at the same time.

"At the time of robot inspection, you must present all mechanisms that you will use on the robot during the entire competition event... Only mechanisms that were present during the inspection may be added, removed or reconfigured between matches." Means that you must pass the inspection with everything that will ever be on your robot installed. This means that all of them combined must be under 130lbs. If you change the systems, you have to be re-inspected. I suppose in theory you could design three or four different systems, with the robot being in weight limits if only one of them was on, but every time you swapped out the system, you would need to be re-inspected. Have any teams done this, I wonder? |
