Day 15

Ohhh man, today was a loooooong day. We meet bright and early and immediately sat down with the FRC design team and laid some stuff in stone. No more helix. Acutely, no more elevator at all! The new idea is just to have the intake suck frisbees in and drop them straight into a hopper right in front of the shooter, then just slide each frisbee in one at a time! I like it because it simplifies the design, and gives us a lottt of room from electronics and a hanger. We decided to mock up to scale to see what it looked like. I like it a lot better than the giant helix design, this is soooo much simpler too. Here's the media from today!

Notes, notes, notes.

Mr.Smith is making a mistake here.

Mmm, smoooooth!

We messed something up.

2nd try, thats better!

DONE! SHIP IT!

Prehistoric CAD model of our competition robot!

Time to make some drawings for the drivetrain!

I stopped at the Cyberknights shop last night and they already have the first pyramid mocked up!
Time for some welding!
