This pic is to show you that our stacks can be stacked in any orientation our bot allows for such precision with a base that spins from side and has to controllable joints and a clamp that allows to control box orientation ( moving in 3 axis helps us a lot ) that we can stack boxes in almost any way , to get optimum stack height with minimum boxes

we made that stack wrather quickly and would be a x5 multiplier

We can also carry and drag stacks and very quickly move boxes from one side of the field to the other

that’s pretty cool. How fast are you?

I’ve seen a lot of robots with an arm that can get one or two stacks at a time. Do you think that you’ll be able to adequately protect your stack? I guess the advantage with an armbot like yours is that you can stack in any orientation - bots that carry their stacks appear to be dependent upon correct orientation with the box (unless they can quickly reorient like us http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/pictures.php?s=&action=single&picid=3998&direction=DESC&sort=date&perrow=3&trows=4&quiet=verbose )

well we are around 8-9 ft/sec with the cim motors and have 2 wheel steering in the front if u can see it, and i dont know how well we can protect a stack but if we wanted to we could move it to a corner and block it off then move it back when needed
