VEX Demo Robot: "ColinBot - REPTAR"

VEX V5 General Discussion VEX Robot Showcase
1

I wrote up a profile on a VEX demo bot that was designed by one of my interns.

This was the challenge I issued him:
“Build a robot which will play the game ‘Swept Away’, is easy to mass-produce, is durable enough to run as a demo robot with minimal maintenance, and is cool enough to showcase VEX well.”

See how he did in my writeup here:

Very cool!

The thing that really stood out to me was the arm made with a linear slider. I have never seen that design before, will have to try it out today!!

I use robots for demonstrations too, and they go through a lot (especially when 1st time drivers are playing ‘robot wars’ with them). The Colinbot looks very robust.

Well done,
