Brain Storm Ideas For Our Design 9/21/11

Basic Design for the Robot:

• Cubic
• We would start by building a square base
• Then, we would build on top of the base

Today we found out what we will do in order to collect the balls, how we will lift the crates, how we will score, and how we will potentially move the bowling ball up the ramp.

Jordan's idea for picking up the racket balls. Kind of like a snow blower or paddle boat.

 Goals for next week: Take pictures of last years robot so we can make a 3D model of it. Break down last years robot, organize parts, and start rebuilding our new design. Make it modular (basic chassis design)  so in the up coming years we can easily disassemble, repair, or change the important features without having to start from the ground up.
