Strategy & Machine Concept

Our team decided on a scooping strategy and a drawbridge concept for our offensive machine and a driving strategy and pushing car concept for our defensive machine. The offensive machine is bolted to a steel plate which sits on top of the arena and it held in position with tabs that rest inside the slot. A telescoping arm is attached to one end of the steel plate. This arm has a spring in it which pushes it down to the bottom of the balls. On the other end of the steel plate we will have a winch motor which will pull the telescoping arm across the bottom of the arena and up the center barrier. Once the arm moves the balls up the center arena divider our car will be driven to the other side to defend against the opposing team.












This is the orientation of how the Arm Module and Pushing Car will sit on the arena.




















This is the Pushing Car without the ramp sheet metal covering the internal components.
