original intake design
Like DEWBOT X's Roller Frame, this simple yet versatile system performed multiple roles in competition, including:
  • Pulling/guiding RCs into the robot lift
  • Stabilizing RCs for transport once acquired
  • Pulling/guiding totes into the robot
  • Aligning totes on the floor to lift position
  • Preventing first Human Player Station tote from landing its side
  • Aligning first Human Player Station tote to lift position
  • Aiding correct alignment of subsequent totes loaded from the human player station
  • Correcting any subsequent tote misalignments which may occur
  • Stabilizing the tote/RC stack during transport and scoring
