Building

2024-25 Plan:

1. Build Robits kit from last year, see if the lift will be helpful for this year.

2. Build Robits kit from this year, use to program and until our own design is ready

   1. Make it move

   2. Build simple program

   3. Build forward arm to pick up game elements

   4. Build robot lift for 1st level

   5. Build lift to place game element in basket (lower, then upper)

   6. robotic lift for 2nd level

   7. Build gripper arm to put game elements with hooks onto lift bars

3. Design our own robot build on top of Winston's base from 23-24 year.  Machine parts to combine ideas from above
