Design

First Model

Our first design was very basic because we needed preparation to build up a stable functioning robot. It had only the bare minimum using extra motors to test whether our idea worked. After this proved successful, we decided to improve on it.

Prototype

Once we had established a working design, decided to add it to our chassis to see how it would function. One problem that occurred was the ring would fail to even make it to the shooter mechanism. We solved this by decreasing the distance between the two intake treadmills!

Final Design

This was a showcase of everything we learned from our past mistakes, we improved on our intake, shooter, and a chamber. Changing our intake system using zip-ties in place of treads turned out to be twice as efficient. Finally, we added a holding chamber that holds up to 3 rings, and an additional servo to individually propel them as required.
