In 2007 we built DEWBOT III to play Rack 'n Roll.
Dewbot III turned out to be a good performer and scorer once we upgraded the gripper for the Philadelphia Regional. Key attributes of Dewbot III include:
- A drive-train and chassis with solid performance and reliability
- An easy-to-use Arm and Gripper capable of scoring quickly on the bottom two Rack courses
- Ability to climb ramps (for bonus score)
The team suffered from some process problems during build season. Dual Arm designs were pursued to the build season's end. We've learned from this and have subsequently improved our decision-making and Project Management skills and discipline.
What Dewbot III did not have were:
- Ramps or lifts for bonus scoring
- An ability to score (reliably) on the top Rack course
- An autonomous mode
