This was one of the rendered images of our initial plan for our robot. Anybody who actually saw our robot saw that we really deviated from this design! It’s fun to look back to the beginning of the build season and see how different everything was!
those wooden claws scare me. i think they would pop the trackball.
I know what you mean, that is why we eventually eschewed the whole claw idea and went for a fast robot that could knock down balls and herd them around. I’ll try to get a picture of our real robot up soon. (The photo is .2 mb too large!)
