Abstract

The following paper outlines the iterative design, build, and programming process for competition robots. The robots will pick up and hold two mobile goals to climb a tipping platform. The robot is also able to collect rings and place them on the branches of the alliance goals. The robot can hold two goals by having one in the mobile goal lift, and another in the pneumatic clamp. The robot scores the goals on the platforms by using the clamp and the four-bar lift. Using the conveyor, the robot can score rings on the alliance goals or can hold them in the conveyor.
