| Built
for the Aim High game, this robot was designed to be a pure offensive robot,
using a mounted softball style shooter and a large self-sorting storage
bin. Monstructor's launcher utilizes four spinning wheels to launch the
balls. A camera pivots the shooter to find the green light on the upper
goal in autonomous, or during a match with the flick of a switch. Once it
finds the light, it will automatically release balls from the shooter to
score in the upper goal. The shooter provides a backspin on the ball to
move it higher in the air. The balls are stored in the large "basket"
above the shooter, which held over 20 balls at a time. We were picked by
teams 357 and 272 to complete their alliance for the Philadelphia Regional,
and made it to the quarterfinals. |
