Team 1538's 2010 Robot - Daisy Bell

Features

  • 13 ft/sec
  • Can traverse the bumps and go under the tunnel (for now)
  • Usable ball magnet, still being improved upon
  • Kicker, capable of kicking balls from the far zone (45')
  • Recessed back, to help herd balls when in the near zone
Wheel 1 --- Wheel 2 --- Wheel 3 --- Wheel 4 --- Wheel 5
  • Wheels 1 and 5 are on centerline with the siderail of the chassis
  • Wheels 2 and 4 are raised 1/8" above centerline

With the wheels set up like this, so long as we're on flat ground, only 2 wheels per side can touch the ground at any one time. However, when going over the bump, the extra two wheels allow us versatility when traversing a bump.
