We are making our robot into a person! It has arms, fingers, legs, and more. The arm extends, the fingers snap and grab, and the legs move. Together, our robot functions beautifully—just like a coordinated scuba diver!
We have made numerous changes to our robot throughout this season. Our consistent level 3 hanging system inspired by carabiners and extension ladders always justifies our mechanical efforts! It has static hooks, and moving hooks allowing us to climb to infinity, and we even have a tail to help us lift off! Our tool/claw has a 3d-printed sigmoid shape allowing us to fully rotate specimen and samples while we hold them, maximizing our PPS (Points Per Second) and ensuring us a successful match.
