DEWBOT XI Internal Stacker
From DEW Robotics
Our main scoring system allows us to build stacks of up to six Totes under a Recycle Container and to score these. This stack is built inside the robot chassis and we score by simply dropping the stack and backing up. This required a U-chassis, the scariest design element of DEWBOT XI.
Stacking Strategies
Analysis of this game makes it clear that in competitive matches, RCs will control scoring potential and maximizing the score per RC is therefore essential. The only sensible stacking strategy is therefore to:
- Pick up an RC
- Build an stack of six totes under the RC
- At some point in the process, put litter in the RC
The resulting stack scores 42 points per RC, the maximum possible.
Human Player Station versus Landfill loading: Ideally, be able to do both. We focused on Human Player station loading due to the perception that it would be faster.
