'Medium Quality' Vex Robot
This was the second robot our independent team ever built together. We build this robot for the 2018-2019 Vex Robotics Competition season, we decided to focus on quickly and effectively firing balls to toggle flags with this integration. This strategy has a much higher score potential compared to our first robot of the season. We designed a slipgear catapult mechanism using elastics to provide the high force require to fire two balls simultaneously at the flag targets.
Medium Quality competed at the 2018 World Skills National Championships Hamilton where we finished with the goal medal in the Mobile Robotics Category.
More details about the build decisions, reasoning and details can be found in the logbooks/ Season Engineering Design notebook here provided here:- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1julvBInYQkDy8KNjmQDN46RTi1dWdhZJ/view?usp=sharing
