The Build
This year's robot design is actually quite successful. At our qualifier on January 3rd, we added a lift that has worked every time we tested it (and yes, we built it that day). As for the flag, we have had that operational since early December. Our design is based off of a octagon shape covered wit ha sheet of Plexiglas, but the octagon is longer than it is wide. All our electrical parts are placed on a second sheet of Plexiglas facing vertical on the back of the robot. We also have a Plexiglas mount further forward that holds our flag turner. Our lift is placed in the center of the base sheet of Plexiglas.
We are also planing to put another direct drive wheels in the middle of our robot.
