Week 6:
February 10th -18th, 2014
This week, the drive base of the robot was rebuilt for stability and efficiency. The base is now supported by a single piece of sheet aluminum along with support bars and brackets to better the overall strength and weight reduction of the drive base. The bumpers were also completed. The shooter also had major modifications to improve efficiency, accuracy, and power. The new design also cuts down on the overall weight of the robot.
The intake was not improved as it performed well enough and didn't have significant weight contribution. It was put aside to later be attached to the robot.
