Any things I could improve on with this robot? This was built in a week for a competition in November and I want to make sure everything is “good” before I begin to code.

- Fix cable management, don’t want to accidentally get entangled or get a motor unplugged.
- Add a connection at the front of your drivetrain, like an L channel or a standoff
- I feel the arm is a little too short for the high stake, maybe after comp you should rebuild it to go higher

Definitely fix cable management. You don’t want a hook to rip the cord out and you need to be able to find which cables connect to which motors/sensors fairly easily. Overall though, it’s a good robot; just fix that and begin your coding.

That look’s really good, I think best is just driver and programming work since that bot looks pretty good right now. If possible I’d probably go just a bit faster with the drive train (400rpm maybe), however that doesn’t look bad at all. Depending on how your events rule it maybe trying to make that into a 4 ring doinker. I cant really see it but how’s you mogo clamp.
Very solid bot, just practice and little things now.
