1/11/10

As we came in on Monday after school, the strategy group listed out the priorities for the design of the robot. These priorities were:


1. GET NO PENATLIES

2. Almost completely offensive robot

3. Accurate shooting/control of the ball (including having the ball go over the bump)

4. Speed and maneuverability.

5. Robot being able to go over the bump

6. Defense

7. Robot able to hold itself above the ground

Based on this we divided ourselves into these groups to brainstorm design ideas. At the end of the meeting, we told everyone what the plans were. These ideas would influence the basic design of our robot. The first group came up with the rollers that were at an angle to help the robot climb the bump. The second group came up with a basic design of the chassis and an arm to grab and hold on to the top of the tower. The last group had an idea of two rollers that would allow the control of the ball.
