Robot


           As of right now this is our robot. We chose to use an extending and retracting arm on both sides, we are also going to attach a claw onto the end to grasp the game pieces. Since this is just the preliminary building of or robot we have not actually tested the efficiency of it. The center of gravity maybe of some concern because if the average position of all the mass on the robot is slightly off we are going to have a lot of difficulty during competition. Other than that aspect of the robot we chose to use a U-shaped chassis since we want to have a robot that sort of corrals the game pieces into the claws of the robot.  Also we used the 4” Omni wheel in the front in order to provide the robot with better mobility, and normal 4” wheels in the back similar to the set-up of a regular real life vehicle
