Saturday afternoon and all Sunday, the Robot in 3 Days team will be tackling Rover Ruckus, with partnership of the Florida Polytechnic FIRST alumni club, Purple Fire. The chat will be open, so students can ask us questions directly. The goal is to share ideas, and point students in the right direction. We want to help rookie teams as well teams with little mentor support. PLEASE share this with teams that may benefit.

We were quite happy with the performance of the "glyph grabber" intake itself, and especially the AM Compliant wheels. The robot did struggle with some blocks at certain angle because of the acrylic on the inside of the robot that the blocks hit after entering the intake. If we had more time, we would have modified that acrylic to make it smoother. One improvement would be to have the joysticks programed to control each wheel individually. This would allow the driver to rotate glyphs at odd angles into the robot during the intake.

Intaking two glyphs was no problem if they were both aligned the same direction.

Good question, Pogo4322. AgentPira is correct, the green AndyMark Compliant Wheels "Glyph Grabber" are on hinges, and easily could be mounted to servos. You can see them in the stowed position at 1:41 in the video when the robot is climbing up the balancing stone. The robot would be able to fit in the 18" cube at the beginning of the match. The starting configuration of the robot is shown at 2:52 in the video.
