The Prototypers # 23263
Our FTC Powerplay Designs
Akshaj's Design:
There are 2 sliders that are connected to a U-Channel. That U-Channel is connected to another U-Channel which is connected to the claw, which picks up cups and scores.
Adithya Ramesh's Design:
Its function is to cycle cones easily with no effort at all. It uses slides and claws to simultaneously grab new cones and cycle them with one another and basically, my claw rotates and cycles cones in a matter of seconds.
Dev's Design:
My robot has a very unique design, the way my robot gets the cone onto the pole is the sliders that have the claw on it, there is a sensor on the top of it that will detect how far the cone is away from the cone and then the claw will pick it up and then claw would transfer it to the sliders in the back which would lift the cone up onto the pole. This method is very efficient and quick.
Ayan's Design
Here is my robot. It picks up a cone using a claw attached to a U Channel, then that U-channel is attached to a slide that goes up to different junctions with the claw, and drops it onto the junction. This technique is fast, smooth, and it does not require a lot of parts.
Nithil's Design
My robot is very interesting as it has a unique claw. The claw is attached to a slider that can drop the cup into the dustpan to hold other cups for future uses. On one of the pillars is a camera that can view the entire surroundings so that the robot doesn't collide.
Aaditya Thalla's Design
My robot has a catch that makes the robot unique from the others. My robot can turn 360 with its baseplate. The 4 stage sliders are attached along with the claw that moves up with the sliders. The robot is simple with very few parts and it's a minimal effort robot design.
Charan's Design
My bare-bones robot has two sliders attached to two U-channels which are facing up. The sliders are connected to two five-hole plates. The plates have two two-hole U-channels and a filler block in between. Two horizontal two-hole plates are underneath the two two-hole U-channels. This creates a platform for the claw. There is also a color sensor for the autonomous section. This design has a flaw: the claw can't go down all the way; it can't reach the same level as the mecanum wheels.
