DEWBOT VI’s scoring strategy is focused on scoring soccer balls. Towards this, we should be able to:
  • Herd up to 3 soccer balls and push these into the goal if playing in the alliance zone
  • Herd balls with the robot side as well and also push into the goal using the side.
  • Kick the ball towards the goal. We expect to be able to reliably score from Mid-field and to at least be able to reliably move balls from the opposing zone to the alliance zone with a single kick over both bumps. Bonus if we can reliably score from the opposing zone.
  • Clear soccer balls from the tunnels
DEWBOT VI has not provisions to Elevate or Suspend.

Kicker

How do you move a soccer ball?
How do you get a soccer ball you can't pick up into a goal?
It's not a big surprise we ended up with a kicker on DEWBOT VI.
