Like DEWBOT X's Roller Frame, this simple yet versatile system performed multiple roles in competition, including:
Functions
- 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
Design
The system is comprised of the following components:
- A pair of Intake Arms with Intake Wheels
- A robot floor shaped to align totes drawn into the robot for lifting
- A pair of fiberglass rods anchored to the robot floor and passing through holes in the lift positioned to prevent totes from sliding too far back for correct lift alignment
