Prototype II TT

Our second prototype was our last. Our second prototype was the upbringing of our final design. Very small but efficient adjustments were done after our team came up with prototype #2.  We had a new strategy. We wanted a robot with an intake design similar to our robot last year, as it had proven to be fast and efficient. Meaning that we decided to get rid of our claw design completely and got rid of the tork screw completely as well.  One of our largest changes to our robot was our claw. As stated, it was extremely unreliable and slow. In place of the claw was an intake box. Intake box #1 was our initial design. It was run by two rows of wheels. That design failed due to the depth of the box and the short wheels, both causing our sample to get stuck in the intake box. The skeleton of the robot was not drastically changed. The tork screw and single arm were taken off. In place, we added a single arm to the center of the robot. This arm both scored and hung the robot. Because it was also meant for scoring, this arm was a linear slide. The slide extends outward and upwards. With this arm, we were able to scare much faster, as well, and hang without getting in the way of our aligned partner during hang.
