To the right is is our team's robot, Gru, competing in this year's competitions.
Challenge:​

• Use the claw in order to pick up cones and place them onto height-varied poles.

Programming:

• Our linear slide is controlled using servos placed at the base, and the claw is also controlled using servos.

End Game:

• Place remaining cones and then park in a designated location to gain points.

Building:

• This robot is built from a GoBilda strafer chassis. We moved the chassis closer to make it more narrow so that they could fit in between the poles. As a lift, we are using a linear slide which is connected to a U-channel by L-brackets. The linear slide is able to reach up to 35 inches from the bottom of the chassis to the top of the slide. On the top of the slide is a claw which is used as our intake system. A servo is connected to the claw, it tells the claw when to open and close so it can hold onto the cones.

Performance in the Competition:

• Winston-Salem Qualifier
  • 1st Place Promote Award
  • 3rd Place Connect Award
