Robot Types (post your ideas here)

[Rick]

What sort of bots will be made this year?

From the kickoff today I got a couple of ideas of what will be made. After reading make your own suggestions

Ball Dumper
A bot that scoop up more than 1 ball at a time and dump into the goal.


Vaccum Bot
A bot that can "suck" up balls and distribute them into the goals.

Variation (A)Ball Shooter: Picks up balls and shoots them.
Variation (B) Ball Pusher: Pushes balls through the PVC pipes.


Bully Bot
A bot that can alter the game drastically with bully like actions.

Variation (A) ForkLift: Literally carries a robot to a different area to help the team.
Variation (B) Ball Popper: Takes balls out of goals to help the team.

Goal Controller
A bot able to control 1, 2 or even 3 goals at a time.

In my opinion, ball control will be the key to success. If your bot can move goals, and you get paired with another bot that can only move goals, then what? I want everyone to post any new robot classes they can think of ( or variations on mine). Thanks
