1

I was thinking of making a early season skills robot and I want some new ideas from other people.

Drive -
6 motor
600 rpm on 2.75
4 middle traction wheel
pto to winch

Odometry -
3 tracking wheels
uses speed control PIDs on either side of the drive to stay in motion while readjusting angles

Intake -
5.5w motor
direct drive to 2 inch flex wheels
2 stages
drops rings into a basket

Claw -
picks up rings from the basket
5.5w motor 1/5 gearing on the first 2 bar
5.5w motor 1/3 gearing on the second 2 bar
claw that can hold 2 rings actuated by a string that was pulled by a 5.5w motor at the bottom of the robot
ability to score on alliance stakes, neutral stakes, and mobile goals
autonomous presets to make the movements much faster

Mobile goal clamp -
two pneumatic clamp

Winch -
2 pneumatic pto from the 6 motor drive to the winch
clamp that clamps on the bottom of the grey tier
1 stage climb
able to score top ring with the claw

All sounds good except for your claw…
Having a claw to pick up dorbs usually defeats the purpose of having an intake. Plus, unless the claw movement is really fast, and intake would be the quickest and mlst efficient way to pick up and score dorbs.
Maybe if you want to score on wall stakes or the high stake, you could instead expand your intake to reach the desired height.

The intake isn’t for speed it is to lower the precision need to pick up the rings.

Why would a full intake be faster?
