Working Day...
Currently we are about 3 weeks until BAG & TAG on the 15th of February. We must get a design working and have a lot of work ahead of us in order to meet this deadline, I can sense the stress beginning.
This year's challenge: Ultimate Ascend. Click here to go to the 2013 FRC Game Page
-We must build a robot that can get Frisbee into goals of different heights, climb a pyramid, try to get the goal on top of the period, and a human is able to throw Frisbee for 30 seconds.
Having such a tough challenge this year (compared to last year's where it shot basketballs) we have decided to be an offensive team and get some points by getting the Frisbee into the goal. The how is still being debated, but this is what we will get done, as well as possibly climb the period to the first level.
There are a lot of ideas being thrown out there, the challenge is to use these ideas together to have a working robot. Having a shooting system is no good without a loading system, is it? In order to get over this predicament we must think harder and come up with something different if these current ideas are not compatible with each other.
What will we go with? A scissor lift and just drop in the Frisbee? An arm that will basically catapult them into the goals?
Come on guys (and girls) we can do this! We have taken this challenge and will accomplish it. Go T-Birds!
