FIRST Frenzy: Raising The Bar - Designs

Designs

Many teams opted to build one articulated arm that performed all game tasks. A single arm would cap goals and hang off the bar. Because the bonus for hanging off the bar was so substantial, some teams would design their robot entirely around quickly hanging off the bar. Further, some teams would incorporate denial systems so that once their robot hung off the bar, they would block or even actively push off other robots that were already there. A final design was a robot that collected balls off the floor and dumped them in the corner ball chutes. Grappling hooks were used by some teams.
