Welcome to team Robot Giraffe's project blog
Our robot will use an arm to collect balls from the top of the tower in the center of the playing field, scoring a large number of points quickly from the high value balls on the top of the tower. After the tower balls are collected, the robot will deposit them in the scoring bin, and can then either collect additional balls on the ground, or it will block and harass the opponent.
The Robot's arm will be spring-loaded to extend and reach the higher tower balls that are above the allowable robot height limit. The arm will have two pins at the two heights of tower balls to knock the balls from the tower and into a chute. The chute will lead into a collection area beneath the robot body, and the collection area will also be able to collect additional balls on the ground. The robot will be driven by two wheels towards the front, and the a ball caster will support the robot's rear.
