Robotics - Redesign Again
Over the last few weeks, we have yet again revamped our robot's layout. Since we decided not to use the conveyor belt as a block-moving mechanism, it has been coerced into a tank-like movement system. The center of the robot has been cleared out and replaced with a swingable bar controlled by two motors, which we use to hang! The flag raiser, due to length constraints, has been flipped around and now points forward. It's somewhat difficult to set it up in such a way that it doesn't interfere with the hanger bar or our many cables. Surprisingly, pretty much everything worked on our first run of the new system; we just need to reaffix the crate and find a permanent place for the battery.
