Me and my friend been working on are bot recently and I need some advice on what we can do to better fix or improve it? Ohh and we are right now working on the intake so if anyone has any ideas on how to improve it or add on to it please comment or message.
Here’s an image.

Looks like you have a two motor drive…would highly not recommend that. You will have almost no pushing power and might overheat your motors just by driving around. You probably want to consider a 6-motor drive, or at the very least a 4-motor drive; if the only other thing you intend to add is an intake, I would do 6 motors so that you have good pushing power. Consider also moving the traction wheel at the back to the center and adding another omniwheel where the traction is now. That front cross brace could make designing an intake quite difficult.

right now we are working in a chain system mechanism to pull up the donut like objects and I need some advise on how to make and bottom chain system mechanism. I have some ideas but i’m not too sure on how to do it. So far i made it but now i need to attach it, it also looks somewhat like this.
This is the other team in my school for competition but both of ours look very similar and I don’t really know how to attach it yet, please send some advice on this.

Is your drivetrain 36 holes long? If so, you cannot build outside of the outer edges without needing an expansion, as there is the 18x18x18 inch size limit. Additionally, it appears that your robot is too tall, with a 29 hole (14.5 inches) c-channel above a horizontal c-channel (0.5 inches), which is above a 4 inch wheel. If this is correct, your robot is roughly 19 inches tall, which is one inch taller than legal.
