So my group is “done” with the majority of our bot sans the intake. I was originally going to do a conveyor lift that could get 3 cubes, but after spectating a competition and seeing the height limitations of my bot, I realized that Skyrise sections needed to be a major focus of my robot. So I have a few choices here and I’m not sure what to do. The more experienced members at my school told me to do what I want, though focusing on only skyrise is fine. In fact, at our first/most recent competition, one of our two bots(cube focused) chose a skyrise only bot for an ally and won the tournament. I kinda think that the fact that that was an early competition and that our next comp will be in late November, people are going to upgrade their robots to do both cubes and skyrises. So naturally, I feel like I should be able to get both cubes and skyrises. I’m currently leaning towards focusing only on skyrise, at the moment.
I could…
4 out of the 10 motors left to use, 2 would be req. for conveyer
- conveyor alone
- conveyor plus motored skyrise attachment…on the side probably
- conveyor plus passive skyrise attachment…side again
- passive skyrise, maybe gets one cube
- motored skyrise, gets one cube(could get more if i think of good design?)
- passive skyrise alone
Advice appreciated…
Oh and this bot (this is the one I mentioned earlier) has the lift I’m using, if you wanna get an idea. Very smalllll space to work with in the center, mine is barely big enough to get cubes in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIIYqAIIwB4
