The Challenge
The Challenge
Design, build, and program an autonomous robot that delivers "press" (balls) from the "Studio" to one of two locations.
Objective: To deliver more good press to the audience than the opponent does to theirs, and/or deliver sufficient bad press to the opponent’s audience to offset their ratings.
Results
Results
We successfully executed our design and we were able to sink balls into both the far and close buckets! An example video is shown on the left.
Some challenges we faced along the way were choosing a shooter motor that had sufficient specifications, getting parts delivered on time, dealing with slippage of the omni-wheels, and replacing a burnt out Teensy board 2 days before the checkoff.
