Intake Objectives
- Pick Boulders off floor
- Load Boulders into Catapult
- Eject Boulders into low goals
- Secures Boulders during Outer-Works crossing
Intake Specifications
- Intake should be as near to full chassis width as possible
- Intake should capture any Boulder it touches
- Intake must reliably load the catapult
- Needs to capture Boulders and load catapult quickly
- Must hold Boulders in catapult while crossing Outer-Works defenses
- Must be pre-loadable with (1) Boulder without any robot element extending beyond the frame perimeter for game start
- Don't jam
- Don't load Boulders into the chassis x-catapult
Design Considerations
Focus was on an over-the-bumper intake mechanism from the start, as this was most compatible with a wide capture zone.
