'High Quality' VEX Robot
For our third robot we designed for the 2018-2019 VEX Robotics Competition season, we decided to switch focus to a flywheel launching mechanism (compared to the catapult design of 'Medium Quality'). This change allowed us to control the flywheel velocity to adjust the arc the ball takes when launched. Something which allowed us to shoot the game objects at the targets (the flags) from many different robot positions, and also allowing us to hit 2 flags simultaneously.
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
