The FRC Robot that our team built is named Ares, God of War. It is a really good design that consists of a two-joint arm that can reach 10ft high, and a rectangular chasis with 4 wheels. The robot is designed to pick up inflatable pool rings. The gripper system at the end of the arm uses phneumatics to open and close, and is very powerful. We're almost afraid that it might pop the pool rings. However that instence was planned for, and part of the gripper was moved backwatds to prevent it from compressing the pool ring too hard. Pictures coming soon... See VEX for details on the competition. Pictures coming soon!
