202 - In The Zone - Robot in 24 Hours

Unfortunately we already took this robot apart. It was never intended to be used in competition it was just what we came up with in the 30 min after the reveal since we only had 24 hours to build it. Our only two goals with this robot were to build it 24 hours after the new game reveal and to have it be able to accomplish all tasks in the game. We’ve moved on to a different design.

I’ll try and describe our cone tipping up process better. We start with the pointy end of the cone facing away from the robot. Next we pushed down on the open end of the cone with our lift at approximately -45 power. Then drive backwards and the cone flips into the claw.

Honestly we didn’t test it much because I don’t think we will see many tipped cones in high scoring matches.
