The Robot

This is the back of the robot. There is a hook from here that can grab onto the platform and pull it. Linear slides are also at the back of the robot. They connect to the arm which will grab the block and bring it up to the top of the stack. The linear slides can extend about 4 blocks high.

Here is a side view of the robot. You can see that the expansion hub is on the side of the robot which leaves the middle empty. This allows for the claw to have an open space to work with. This also gives the team more space on the chassis’s platform for wires and other needed parts.

This is the right side of the robot. The team decided to put another layer of plexiglass, as a layer of protection for the phone. The team originally planned to make a box for the phone, but instead had an alternate solution. The team used a L shaped gobuilda piece and screwed it in the plexiglass, which saved much needed space.

This is a birds-eye view of the robot. You can see the claw we use to grab the game element. There’s a screw connecting a side of the claw to a servo motor which allows for the claw to function properly. When you use the servo, the screw tightens bringing the two sides together which lets it pick up the stone.
