This week we came up with a new concept for a robot, one that used elastic bands like the one used by the winning team during the skirmish. Their shooter was able to consistently score well in the high goals, meaning we could do that too if we manage to pull it off. That's because it was using cam gears, gears that are shaped like the Fibonacci spiral. Here is a rough sketch of our shooter: We have already completed a new base. Daniel had thought of a new concept, and we've also decided to use haptic wheels. It's going great!
Our shooter's going well, too. It can already shoot a ball about 1 meter!
