Robot Design Considerations

The robot was designed to:

  • Pick up small foam basketballs off the floor
  • Shoot basketballs through the air to any of four basketball hoops on each side of the game field
  • Drive both fast and with torque using a 2 speed transmission
  • Autonomously Shoot
  • Autonomously Dump balls for other robots
  • Autonomously Shoot and then go collect more balls for the start of the Teleop Period
  • Be controlled by both a driver and a co-pilot
    • The driver drives the robot
    • The driver controls the lifting and lowering the bridge arm to tip the balance bridges
    • The co-pilot controls when the robot shoots
    • The co-pilot controls turning the elevation mechanism to pick up balls off the floor
