Team 166 Presents "Broomba"



We had just re added the electrical board to our test frame, and it was time to clean up. We were still driving the robot around so one of our team members had an idea. 4 zip ties and 2 minutes later this happened.

This robot looks nothing like our actual robot, in the beginning we were going to use a wide configuration and then our design team decided that they wanted to go length wise instead, we never switched this frame as we were too busy building the actual robot.
But yes we are using a shooter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtiK87pE_9U

May we assume you're waiting for a BaneBots order, and this is what you came up with in the mean time?

I like the broom, however.

Re: Team 166 Presents "Broomba"

Those are CIM motors on the side of the robot with bane bots transmissions and they are taped on to act as dead weight. Its to offset the weight of the electrical board on the opposite side.

They do look like ballast...

I like your shop cleaning efforts.
