Our build process is divided into the following five stages:
- Brainstorming & Goal Setting
- Prototyping
- Designing
- Building
- Testing, Debugging & Training
We prototyped the following features:
- Ball Lift
- Ball Shooter
- Feed to Ball Shooter
We designed in AutoCAD (not Inventor):
- Ball Lift
- Hopper
- Feed Chute
- The mount and integration of the Shooter with the robot, including the "ski jump"
