Revision as of 00:00, 26 February 2010

During the 2010 Build Season, Team 1640 designed and fabricated a proxy chassis as a time-management tool. The proxy chassis duplicated the key geometry and construction of the forward portion of the robot chassis, focusing on accurately duplicating every chassis element which would or could interact with the Kicker.

The proxy chassis enabled us to turn a mechanically and electrically functional robot chassis over to the Programming and Field sub-teams to allow them time to work uninterrupted, while the mechanical sub-team focused on making the Kicker system as functional and reliable as possible. This was very successful.
