Day 2 Pasta Dinner!

Today was the 2nd day of build, we broke down the game, and discussed with the whole team what elements we wanted to do in the game. We came up with a possible full field shooter from the loading station if it's possible, a defiant 30 point hang, and scoring rapidly on the 3 point goal. We also want to be able to pick up off the ground. The first prototype we build was a shooters that was like a round pitching machine, powered by one CIM motor, direct drive, with a 5 inch colson for the wheel. We also ran a test with last years robot to see how the robot reacted to driving over the frisbee in different orientations. We've also decided our drivetrain will be identical to last years, just scaled down a touch!  Here are some pictures and videos of the prototype tests and the brainstorming session!
